Overview of the Oldest Human Tools

The earliest tools, referred to by specialists as Oldowan, take their name from the nearby Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, which is notable for its archaeological significance. These tools were meticulously crafted by our human ancestors as various types of wedges and hammers between 2.6 million and 1.6 million years ago, marking the outset of the Stone Age.
