You Wouldn't Believe What Scientists Found Frozen in Glaciers and Lakes

Old Trapping Devices

Scientists have discovered countless trapping devices that cavemen and neanderthals used to capture beavers and other small animals. One of the most commonly found devices are these things called “gopher sticks.” Essentially, they’re long wooden sticks that had a noose-like snare at the end for capturing gophers and other small mammals as they tried to pass through. These traps were the first of their kind created by humans, indicating the beginning of humanity using non-confrontational tools to capture animals.
