===Ancient Rus===

Oldest modern human lived in Russia 45,000 years ago. The archaeologists found thier remains settlement at Kostenki, close to the River Don in southern Russia. Artefacts found suggest that the ancient Russians had learnt to make jewellery, were skilled at toolmaking and had begun to trade. The carving seems to have been discarded before the artwork had been completed. Animal bones uncovered show that the inhabitants were expanding their diet to include small mammals, fish and other aquatic creatures.

The researchers said, suggests that the people were “remaking themselves technologically” and may have used snares to trap hares and Arctic foxes, and nets for fish.
