This handout picture released on May 4, 2021 by the CNRS-University of Bordeaux, shows the Panga Ya Saidi site, north of Mombasa, Kenya, where the remains of a 3-year-old child named by the scientists "Mtoto" (meaning 'child' in Swahili) and buried inside a deliberately dug pit, were discovered by archaelogists. The discovery of the oldest burial site in Africa, dated at 78,000 years old, has just been revealed in the journal Nature by an international team including several researchers from the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research).
