Recent research indicates that early humans in eastern Africa were utilizing animal bones for tool creation a million years earlier than previously believed. Archaeologists from CSIC have uncovered evidence showing that these early humans intentionally shaped materials from animals, particularly bones from elephants and hippopotamuses, suggesting a level of cognitive advancement in these prehistoric people. This discovery contributes to our understanding of the evolution of tool-making and the intellectual capabilities of our ancient ancestors.
