Ancient Human Cousins May Have Used Stone Tools, Challenging Evolutionary Narratives

New evidence suggests Paranthropus, robust ancient African hominins with large jaws and small brains, may have used Oldowan stone tools for processing plants and animals. Discoveries in Kenya challenge the long-held belief that toolmaking was exclusive to the Homo genus, indicating a more diverse landscape of early human innovation.
