📖 本集故事簡介：

A set of 27 bone tools found in Tanzania, dating back around 1.5 million years, marks a significant technological milestone in human evolution. Likely crafted by Homo erectus, these tools — made from the dense limb bones of elephants and hippos — represent the earliest known example of systematic tool-making using materials other than stone. While bone tools had previously been used sporadically, this discovery suggests a deliberate and skilled approach. The tools, some reaching 37.5 cm in length, were probably used for butchering animals. Their creation required anatomical knowledge, as only thick, durable bones were selected. Researchers believe these early humans applied knapping techniques similar to stone tool-making, while also adapting their methods to the bones' unique properties, such as its collagen content and layered structure. This innovation does reflect a growing cognitive capacity and resourcefulness. In other words, this shows an awareness of animals not only as food but also as a source of raw material.
