he latest achievements of archeological explorations in Kaldar Cave, Khorramabad in Lorestan Province, indicate that Iran is

among the first birthplaces of smart human beings in West Asia. The Public Relations Office of the Re-

search Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism (RICHT) quoted head of the team for archeological explorations in Kaldar Cave Behrouz Bazigar an-nouncing this in a gathering held at the Research Institute of Archeology as saying that before explo-

rations at Kaldar Cave all the attention was focused on Shamat region, but excavations in Kaldar Cave with a record of 54,400 years led to the chronology of new Paleolithic layers.He pointed to the Gibraltar, the Sicilia, the Pales-tine corridor and Bab-el-Mandeb as the four pos-sible routes of migration and dispersion of smart humans (Homo sapiens). The first wave and the primary data available about the smart man, puts the presence of these humans in the African con-tinent at 195,000 years ago, he added. Bazgir also referred to discovery of a 60-thousand-year evidence in Australia, the rocky Qafza haven in Shamat and Fuyan Cave in China with 80 to 120 thousand years old. He went on to say that the first evidence found of human presence in the European continent dates back to 40,000 to 43,000 years ago. Meanwhile, he referred to the discovery of an area in Morocco 300,000 years old and also to different sites of the second migration wave of smart humans in the Shamat region and the Asian continent. The Kosar Eklil site in Lebanon with 48,000 years old, Manor in occupied Palestine with 49,000 years old and Kaldar Cave in Khorramabad are among the most important sites in this regard, he added.Bazigar also announced discovery of the oldest evidence about use of natural tar in Iran and West Asia, and said in the part of placing the arrowhead on the wood they would use the natural adhesive substance. Referring to the 54-year old of the new Paleolithic layer in Kaldar Cave, he said in the vicin-ity of the area a reservoir of raw material was dis-covered, which somehow was the place for keeping the natural tar.

Iran, One of First Birthplacesof Smart Humans in West Asia

ranian graphic designer Turaj Saberivand has returned the A’ Design Award that he won at an Italian contest in May after he failed to get a visa for Italy to attend the award ceremony of the event due to disrespect in the visa section

of the Italian Embassy in Tehran.The organizers of the A’ Design Award and Competition biennial, which is held in the Italian city of Milan, had sent the award to Saberivand through the mail, but he sent the award back to the Italian Embassy in Tehran “as a sign of protest” against “the disrespectful process” of granting a visa at the embassy, the Per-sian service of ISNA reported on Sunday.In an article earlier published by the Per-sian daily Sharq, Sa-berivand also wrote that the Italian Embassy in Tehran on its bulletin board has asked visa applicants to register online.“My frequent references to the embassy’s website to register were in vain and the only practical way to get a visa was to enter into talks with agents who acted as intermedi-aries between visa applicants and the embassy,” Saberivand said.He added that mismanagement at the embassy has resulted in “the illegal and disre-spectful phenomenon” that “refutes diplomatic principles.”Saberivand won the A’ Design Award in the Graphics and Visual Communication De-sign Category for a logo that he designed for the tenth edition of the International Brand Conference Corporate Identity in Iran.
