Samara culture

The Samara culture was a prehistoric society that existed around 16,000 to 14,000 years ago in what is now Russia. It is known for its early development of hunter-gatherer groups that used sophisticated tools and early forms of fire-making. The culture is linked to the Paleolithic era and represents some of the earliest human groups in that region to demonstrate complex behaviors. Archaeological finds, such as stone tools and remains of dwellings, help researchers understand how early humans adapted to cold environments and laid the groundwork for later technological advancements across Eurasia.
