Archaeologists discover ancient tools dating back millions of years
58% Informative
Archaeologist Tom Plummer and his team have found early tools dating back 3,000,000 years .
The East African Rift Valley is often called the cradle of Humankind because so many of the oldest clues about our earliest days have been preserved under its fertile volcanic soil.
A similar, even older cutting tool was also found in Kenya , but apparently died out.
The first Homo sapiens that is modern looking humans emerged in Africa about 300,000 years ago .
But our hominin ancestors took much longer to become us than we at first understood.
The first tool making is not a human legacy, but an idea our ancestors copied, then used to dominate.
