Did cave men ever live in Mammoth Cave?

Answer 1

When Mammoth Caves was discovered by the Europeans, they found a mummified Indian that was found to have died around the years that Christ was on the earth...

This is the earliest known inhabitant of the caves...

Answer 2

Very late cave men might have lived in Mammoth Cave (which, by the way, is in the East Central US, somewhere around Kentucky). North America's aboriginal tribes might have lived there at least seasonally.

But prehistoric people lived in caves in (what is now) Turkey 300,000 years ago, leaving behind their artistic expressions for our scientists to date them by. Now, the question is, if "all humans" lived in Africa until about 115,000 years ago, then how could any humans be in Turkey making rock carvings more than twice that long ago? Hm? Consistency, anyone?

Answer 3

Human remains and artifacts dating back 6,000 years have been discovered in the cave system. While it is possible that some people in the past sought shelter in the cave, there is no direct evidence that people inhabited the cave over time.

Answer 4

I highly doubt it. Most early human-like people are typically thought to have lived in current day northern Africa (specifically around Egypt), and in the fertile crescent (which is around current day Iraq and Iran).

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Yes,silly, we are all warm-blooded creatures,like you.
