Early humans were regularly using animal bones to make cutting tools 1.5 million years ago. A newly discovered cache of 27 carved and sharpened bones from elephants and hippos found in Tanzania's Olduvai Gorge site pushes back the date for ancient bone tool use by around 1 million years.

The article from MSN discusses a significant archaeological discovery in Kenya, where researchers found evidence that ancient humans were using animal bones to create tools approximately 1.5 million years ago. This finding pushes back the known timeline for when hominins began using bone tools, previously thought to be around 1.2 million years ago. The tools, discovered at the site of Nyayanga, were made from the bones of hippos and other large animals, suggesting that these early humans not only scavenged but also had the cognitive ability to recognize the utility of bones for tool-making. This discovery provides insights into the technological and behavioral evolution of early human ancestors, indicating a more complex interaction with their environment than previously understood.
