First tools ever used on Earth were not made by early humans

Three-million-year-old tools found in Kenya reveal early humans' ability to cut food, butcher meat, and adapt to new diets.
The article from Earth.com discusses the discovery of the oldest known tools, dating back 3.1 million years, found in the Cradle of Humankind, South Africa. These tools, identified as Oldowan tools, were likely made by Paranthropus robustus, challenging the previous belief that only the Homo genus was capable of such tool-making. The tools, including sharp-edged flakes and hammerstones, were found alongside the remains of Paranthropus, suggesting that this species, known for its robust jaw and large teeth, might have had the cognitive capabilities for tool use. This finding pushes back the timeline for when tool-making began and expands the understanding of early hominin capabilities, indicating that tool use and possibly even tool-making were more widespread among early human ancestors than previously thought.
