ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tabon Man

Tabon Man was a very, very, very old human who lived a really long time ago. He was one of the first people to ever live in the Philippines. Tabon Man was named after the place he was found, which is called the Tabon Caves.

The Tabon Caves are special because they have really old things inside them that tell us what people were like a long, long time ago. A long time ago, there were no houses or cities like we have now. Tabon Man and the other people who lived then had to make their own shelter and find their own food. They didn't have grocery stores like we do now!

Tabon Man was really special because he was one of the first people who ever used tools! These tools were used for things like cutting food or chopping wood. He lived with other people who were like him and they worked together to survive.

Tabon Man is really important for us to learn about because he helped us understand how humans evolved and how we became the way we are today. We can learn a lot from him and the things he left behind in the Tabon Caves.
