Acheulean tool culture

The Acheulean tool culture, dating from about 1.76 million to 130,000 years ago, is known for its characteristic hand axes and bifacial tools. Developed by early humans, these tools were more sophisticated and standardized than previous ones, indicating an advanced understanding of shaping stone for specific uses like cutting, scraping, or hunting. The Acheulean industry represents a significant step in human technological evolution, highlighting increased skill, planning, and adaptability in early human populations across Africa, Europe, and Asia.
