Ancient history
The Sivapithecus indicus fossil skull of an extinct ape species was discovered in Potohar plateau. The earliest evidence of human habitation in Punjab traces to the Soan Valley of the Pothohar, where Soanian culture developed between 774,000 BC and 11,700 BC. This period goes back to the first interglacial period in the second Ice Age, from which remnants of stone and flint tools have been found.
