Hominids in Tanzanaia 2 million years ago

Two million years ago, hominins living in Tanzania exploited very diverse ecosystems.

They were able to adapt to unpredictable environments. Thanks to this capacity they were able to exploit a multitude of habitats in Africa and later on the rest of the continents.

The study of stone tools, found in a new deposit, has revealed their versatility. The data analyzed comes from excavations carried out during the years 2018-2019 in a relatively unexplored area.

The stone tools found are the oldest documented in the Olduvai Gorge to date.
