Prehistory of Taiwan

The prehistory of Taiwan includes the late Paleolithic era. During that time, roughly 50,000 BC to 10,000 BC, people were already living in Taiwan.

Evidence shows that the earliest civilization found in Taiwan was the Changbin civilization (長濱文化), this prehistoric site was found in Eastern Taiwan. Human skeletons were also found in Zuojhen, Tainan, therefore called the Zuojhen people. Yuanshan (圓山) and other prehistoric sites were found in Taipei Basin. However, there isn't enough evidence to be sure which group of people left the artifacts.
