Stone tools.

Another illustration for the recently published biology schoolbook. A selection of artefacts of the Oldowan culture. A very early culture of simple pebble tools, it was practised by early species of Homo and late Australopithecus. Not fancy, but sharp and useful.

Australopithecus afarensis lived between 3.85 – 2.95 million years ago in Eastern Africa. More than 300 individuals of this species have been discovered across a span of about 900,000 years, which is more than 4 times as long as modern humans have been around.
