Stone tools found in Kenya are the oldest ever discovered
Researchers digging in Kenya say they’ve found the oldest stone tools ever discovered, at 3.3 million years old — pushing the record back by around 700,000 years. That places these tools before the birth of Homo, the genus that includes modern humans; as such, it calls into question the conventional belief that it was species within Homo that first learned how to work with stone tools. The findings are being published today in Nature.
