Stone tool discovery suggests very first humans were inventors

The discovery of sophisticated stone tools at an ancient archaeological site in northwest Kenya suggests that early humans were skilled inventors. The primitive humans who lived 2.75 million years ago at the Namorotukunan site used stone tools continuously for 300,000 years, challenging previous beliefs that tool use was sporadic. This find, detailed in a study published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on human evolution and the continuous use of technology by early humans to adapt to environmental changes. The stone tools uncovered at Namorotukunan were made with great skill and precision, indicating a long lineage of technological advancement among our ancient ancestors.
