The oldest knowledge of humankind we have doesn’t come from stories or recorded histories, but the stones our ancient ancestors left behind. In fact, flint tools have been a part o f our species history since before we were even Homo sapiens. Archaic ancestors such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus were the first to take up stone-craft over 2,000,000 years ago. The Paleolithic represents a long time period in human evolution, marked by many species and tool making techniques. This particular specimen is a stone chopping tool, which measures 4.71". The tool was recovered near Foum El Hassane in Morocco. It is estimated to be over 1,000,000 years old. A certificate of authenticity is also included for display purposes. Show more
