Carbon Dating-

Carbon Dating is a technique that uses the decay of carbon-14 to estimate the age of organimic materials, such as wood or leather, to about 58,000 to 62,000 years. This way of deciding how ild something is was presented to the world by Willard Libby in 1949. This method of dating has been used to find the age of many things, like Otzi the Iceman, and many Ancient Egyptian artifacts. This is important because we can figure how old something we find is to a certain extent, this makes finding now extinct species or our early ancestors remains and finding just how old they are.
