Acheulean stone tool
Acheulean stone tools. Hand holding a rock hammer to demonstrate the creation of an Acheulean stone tool. Acheulean tools were first made in the lower palaeolithic (stone age), notably by Homo ergaster, which lived between 1.9 and 1.4 million years ago. The earliest Acheulean tools are from around 1.65 million years ago. They were the dominant technology of the time, and lasted until around 100, 000 years ago. Acheulean tool making involved the removal of several flakes of stone to create a much longer cutting blade than the older tools

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process of creating an Acheulean stone tool, a groundbreaking technology that emerged during the lower Paleolithic era. In this image, a hand firmly grasps a rock hammer, skillfully striking against another stone to demonstrate the meticulous craftsmanship required for fashioning these primitive tools. Acheulean tools were pioneered by Homo ergaster, an early human species that thrived between 1.9 and 1.4 million years ago. The earliest examples of Acheulean tools date back approximately 1.65 million years and remained prevalent until around 100,000 years ago. These remarkable artifacts represented a significant leap forward in tool-making techniques compared to their predecessors. The creation of an Acheulean tool involved carefully removing multiple flakes from stones to shape them into elongated cutting blades—a revolutionary advancement at the time. This dominant technology revolutionized hunting, gathering, and survival strategies for our ancient ancestors. Through this photograph's lens, we catch a glimpse into humanity's distant past—when hominids meticulously crafted essential instruments out of rocks and stones to navigate their challenging environments. It serves as a testament to our innate curiosity and ingenuity as we continue unraveling the mysteries of our evolutionary journey through archaeological discoveries like these awe-inspiring Acheulean stone tools.
