"Uncovering Advanced 1.1 Million-Year-Old Tools: East Asian Hominins' Stone Tool Technology Revealed"

A new study reveals that hominins in East Asia possessed advanced tool-making skills equivalent to Mode 2 technology over 1.1 million years ago, challenging previous timelines and perceptions of early technological development in the region. The discovery suggests a reevaluation of early human culture and connections across Eurasia, providing compelling evidence for complex technical abilities and in-depth planning behaviors among Early Pleistocene hominins in East Asia.
