Scientists have discovered that around 20,000 years ago, early humans used whale bones to make tools and weapons, with most bones coming from sperm whales. These findings, based on bone samples from Spain and France, reveal the resourcefulness of Paleolithic coastal communities in utilizing marine resources, and highlight the ecological and cultural significance of whales in early human life.
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.
