World's Oldest Stone Tools Discovered In Kenya
sciencehabit writes: Researchers say they have found the oldest tools made by human ancestors—stone flakes dated to 3.3 million years ago. That's 700,000 years older than the oldest-known tools to date, suggesting that our ancestors were crafting tools several hundred thousand years before our genus Homo arrived on the scene. If correct, the new evidence could confirm disputed claims for very early tool use, and it suggests that ancient australopithecines like the famed 'Lucy' may have fashioned stone.
And for numerous centuries, "human-like" species from Europe and America mow down people in other parts of the world to spread hegemony and colonialism.
Hmm.....do any of the found tools have the family moniker of "Obama"?
