In this episode of History Rocks, we explore the fascinating discovery of the Acheulian tools, the oldest and most advanced stone tools ever found, made by Homo erectus in Kenya more than 1.5 million years ago. We learn about how these tools reveal the evolution of human culture and cognition, and how they may have been used for hunting, processing, and social purposes. We also discuss the implications of finding these tools alongside the simpler Oldowan tools, and what that means for the migration patterns of early humans.
