The world’s oldest stone tools were made by an ape-like hominid 3.3 million years ago, predating the emergence of the genus Homo by half a million years. This suggests that tool-making was not a unique feature of our ancestors but a more widespread and ancient skill among hominids. The discovery also challenges the conventional view that stone tools were linked to larger brains and language evolution. #stonetools #hominid #evolution https://www.iflscience.com/worlds-oldest-stone-tools-were-made-by-ape-like-hominid-33-million-years-ago-70138/
