Researchers exploring Vietnam's Thung Binh 1 cave have uncovered evidence of what may be one of the oldest-known homicides in human history.

In 2018, archaeologists exploring a cave in Vietnam found a well-preserved prehistoric skeleton that could belong to one of the oldest-known homicide victims in human history.

New analysis of the 12,000-year-old remains shows that the man was shot by an unusual quartz arrow and that he likely didn’t die immediately afterward. Researchers believe that the man survived the initial blow, but eventually died after the wound became infected.

If the injury was not the result of an accident, this could be the earliest example of interpersonal violence ever uncovered in the region.
