Lomekwi

Lomekwi is an archaeological site in Kenya where researchers discovered some of the earliest stone tools made by humans, dating back around 3.3 million years. These tools are significant because they suggest that early ancestors were capable of creating and using tools much earlier than previously thought, challenging ideas about the timeline of human technological development. The tools found at Lomekwi are mainly simple stone flakes and cores, indicating basic but intentional stone shaping. This discovery provides valuable insight into the origins of human technology and behavior.
