A skull fragment found in Hathnora in the Narmada Valley in central India indicate that India might
have been inhabited in the Middle Pleistocene era around 250,000 years ago. Anek R. Sankhyan
describes it as "debated and conveniently interpreted as evolved Homo erectus or archaic.[1]
Tools crafted by proto-humans that have been dated back two million years have been discovered
in the northwestern part of the subcontinent.[2][3] The earliest archaeological site in the
subcontinent is the palaeolithic hominid site in the Soan River valley.[4] Soanian sites are found in
the Sivalik region across what are now India, Pakistan, and Nepal.[5][6][7]

Some of the Bhimbetka shelters were inhabited by Homo erectus more than 100,000 years
ago.[8][9]
Madrasian Culture is a prehistoric (aka Paleolithic) culture of South India.[10] It flourished in the
Lower Paleolithic, the earliest subdivision of the Stone Age, about 2.5 million years ago. It is called
the Madrasian culture because artifact tools thought to be related to this culture were first found at
sites in Attirampakkam (Attrambakkam=13 13' 50", 79 53' 20"), which is located near Chennai
(formerly known as Madras),Tamil Nadu.[11] Thereafter, tools related to this culture have been
found at various other locations in this region. Bifacial handaxes and cleavers are typical
assemblages recovered of this culture.[12] Flake tools, microliths and other chopping tools have
also been found. Most of these tools were composed of the metamorphic rock quartzite.[11] The
stone tool artifacts in this assemblage have been identified as a part of the second inter-pluvial
period in India.[13]
