Who discovered the first meteorites?
Jondalar, a caveman of the Zelandonii tribe living in what is now western France, was first to find meteorites (in 24946 BC) and recognize that there was something special about them. Jondalar was a flint-knapper by profession, and he knew his rocks. He went so far as to speculate that the rocks had passed through the air at great speed, but he didn’t understand all that “outer space” stuff that we talk about today.
