Stone-Tipped Weapons Were Used 500,000 Years Ago
Prehistoric men were making stone-tipped weapons 500,000 years ago at Kathu Pan 1, an archaeological site in South Africa. Due to the revelation the date for manufactured weapons were pushed back another 200,000 years.
The research also showed that the stone tips were used in the early Middle Pleistocene, which is a period associated with Homo heidelbergensis. Homo heidelbergensis is the last common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern humans.
