Archaeologists have discovered a 9,500-year-old burial in Africa that is believed to be the oldest known evidence of intentional cremation on the continent. The cremation pyre, found in Malawi, is thought to contain the remains of a hunter-gatherer, possibly a woman, and is providing new insights into Stone Age rituals and practices. The discovery is considered significant, potentially rewriting the understanding of hunter-gatherer behavior in Africa during that time period.
