"Ancient Stone Tools Reveal Early Humans as Pioneering Inventors"

Archaeologists in Kenya discovered ancient Stone tool technology, revealing that early humans, including Homo species, were more innovative than previously thought.

• After a decade of research in Kenya, archaeologists uncovered 1,300 Stone tool artifacts, including hammerstone tools and lithic flake remnants from different geological layers.
• The tools, associated with the Oldowan technology, indicate a long history of tool-making behavior among Homo and Australopithecine ancestors in a semi-arid climate environment.
• Findings suggest that the use of Stone tool technology was widespread and continuous, challenging previous assumptions about the timeline of human innovation in diverse ecosystems like wetland and grassland.
