2.6 million years ago, our distant ancestors began using stone tools for the first time. Early hominids chipped sharp edges from stones to cut meat, process hides, and crack bones. This milestone marked the very beginning of human technological evolution, paving the way for all future tools and inventions.

Mini fact: The earliest stone tools were found in Ethiopia. They were made not by modern humans, but by our distant ancestors — two million years before Homo sapiens appeared.
