Acheulean handaxes are thought to have been produced by two extinct hominin species, Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis. Fossils assigned to H. erectus have been recovered from sites in East Africa, South Africa, North Africa, the Caucasus, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.

Q. Which mystery tool is made from a Levallois flake?
Such tools are known as bifacial. In the so-called Levallois technology, named after the Levallois-Perret suburb of Paris where it was first described, the toolmaker first chisels a suitably shaped core from a stone and then slices off flakes from it.
Q. What tool technology does this tool belong to?
The name of Australopithecus garhi, garhi meaning “surprise”, a tool-using Australopithecine was discovered in 1996. This tool is a Oldowan tool.
Q. What was the first human tool?
Early Stone Age Tools The Early Stone Age began with the most basic stone implements made by early humans. These Oldowan toolkits include hammerstones, stone cores, and sharp stone flakes. By about 1.76 million years ago, early humans began to make Acheulean handaxes and other large cutting tools.
Q. Who were the first humans to use tools?
The early Stone Age (also known as the Lower Paleolithic) saw the development of the first stone tools by Homo habilis, one of the earliest members of the human family. These were basically stone cores with flakes removed from them to create a sharpened edge that could be used for cutting, chopping or scraping.
Q. What is the oldest tool ever found?

Q. Is there Neanderthal DNA in humans?
Neanderthal-inherited genetic material is found in all non-African populations and was initially reported to comprise 1 to 4 percent of the genome. This fraction was later refined to 1.5 to 2.1 percent. It is estimated that 20 percent of Neanderthal DNA currently survives in modern humans.
Q. What is the oldest human skeleton ever found?

Q. Can we make dinosaurs from DNA?
“We are a long, long way from being able to reconstruct the DNA of extinct creatures, and in fact it may be impossible to resurrect the DNA of dinosaurs or other long-extinct forms. We have DNA for living creatures, including ourselves, and yet we cannot clone any living animal (from DNA alone).
