A 430,000-year-old wooden stick is changing what scientists thought Stone Age humans could do
Two carved wooden tools, 430,000 years old, were found in Greece. One is a digging stick, the other is small enough to be held between fingers. These are the oldest hand-held wooden tools ever found. Scientists said, "Their team examined every fragment under microscopes." This find changes our understanding of Stone Age human abilities.
