Leakey and the American multinational software corporation Autodesk, people around the world will be able to share in this remarkable discovery. The find pushed the date of the earliest tool production back by 700,000 years. An article concerning this historical find was recently published in Nature Magazine (May 20, 2015). Louise Leakey and a team of dedicated paleoarchaeologists in Northern Kenya. 3.3 million-year-old stone tools, the oldest ones we now know of, were found by Dr. The earliest toolmakers were more technologically sophisticated than anyone had previously thought, as recent discoveries at a large-scale and decades-long archaeological project now suggest.
Homo sapiens, anatomically modern humans, emerged roughly 0.2 million years ago and modern humans began migrating from Africa approximately 60,000 years ago. To provide some perspective, Homo erectus or “upright man,” the first hunter-gatherer societies and the first hominids to use fire, appeared a half-million years after that. Scholars who study human evolution have hypothesized for some time that the very first stone tools were produced by the genus (biological classification) Homo, the hominids that lived around 2.5 million years ago. Discovered by scientists in Kenya, the stone tools date back to 3.3 million years
