Spanish experts have found the oldest evidence of the presence of man in Paraguay dating back more than 5,000 years.
The remnants were found in a hill known as Jasuka Venda by a team from the Altamira Museum, which is responsible for looking after the same-named cave containing the famous Paleolithic cave paintings.

The Altamira Museum said on Wednesday that archaeologists had found in the hill samples of cave art "unexpected till now ... (in the) footstep style," which is well-known in countries like Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. According to the team, the discoveries lead one to think that the "region could be the origin and dissemination center for this type of cave art."

Jasuka Venda is the main cultural heritage site for the Pai Tavytera tribe of the Guarani people. The hill site also seems to be known as Cerro Jasuka or Cerro Guazu.
