Paleolithic peoples had probably roamed Afghanistan as early as 100,000 BCE.

A cave at Darra-i-Kur in Badakhshan, where twentieth-century archaeologists will discover a transitional Neanderthal skull fragment in association with Mousterian-type tools, is the earliest definite evidence of human occupation; the remains are of the Middle Paleolithic, dating about 30,000 years BCE.
