fossilized human behavior.....

.

Stone tools are fossilized human behavior. – Louis Leakey

The above quote is in an article in The Conversation about a new discovery of stone tools that are about 700,000 years older than the previous "oldest known stone tools."

So interesting -- there's no info as to who made them, or as to exactly how they were used, but we do know things about the environment in which they were made/used.  There are multiple (geologicial) ways to date things that are this old.......
