Ancient Bone Tools Rewrite History

A recent discovery in Tanzania reveals dozens of bone tools, astonishingly dating back 1.5 million years, reshaping our understanding of early humans.

These tools, meticulously crafted from elephant and hippopotamus bones, demonstrate a sophisticated level of toolmaking previously unknown.

The find significantly predates earlier discoveries, pushing back the established timeline for bone tool use by a million years.

This groundbreaking research suggests that early hominins possessed more advanced cognitive abilities and technological skill than previously imagined.
