Homo Habilis stone Hand axes | Sizes: 7”- 11”
Homo Habilis stone CHoPPeRs | Sizes: 3”- 5 ¾”
The Oldowan is the oldest-known stone tool industry. Dating as far back as 2.5 million years ago, these tools are a major milestone in human evolutionary history: the earliest evidence of cultural behavior. Homo habilis, an ancestor of Homo sapiens, manufactured Oldowan tools.
They fit easily into the palm with indented area for the thumb. These tools were likely used to cut plants or meat but may have also served as weapons when hunting animals for food. Most tools were clearly intended to be used by the bare hands although some were fitted to wooden handles. These collection are from the Great Rift Valley, in Central Africa.
