- In this talk, Dr. Plummer reviews the current understanding of the Oldowan: when and where Oldowan tools are found, how they were made, what kinds of hominins (human relatives) may have used them, the functions of the tools, and what their adaptive significance was. He highlights research at ca. 2.6 - 2 million-year-old localities on the Homa Peninsula, southwestern Kenya, where he has been directing Oldowan excavations for over two decades in the vein of F. Clark Howell’s interdisciplinary fieldwork.

Wonderful video, thanks.
That was very interesting. New information for a lay person like me, explained in a way i found easily accessible.
Makes you instantly realise how many complex tools humans have created and how many our modern lifestyle depends upon.
You can say that again! Think speaking, arrow points, clothings, the wheel, shoes, shipbuilding, bronze and iron making, hygiene, chirurgy, medicine, writing, libraries, temple building, schools and academies, athletics, Olympic Games, glass making, aqueducts, sewers, cement, telescope, microscope, bookprinting, translating, chemistry, steel making, artificial limbs, electricity, sterilization, Pasteurization, microbes, railways, bicycles, photography, neurobiology, automobiles, X-rays, planes, radio, films, telephone, TV, digital communications, space transport, computers, Internet, mobile phones, artificial intelligence, what's next? Artificial brains?
Wonderful! Thank you.
Is it impossible that Paranthropus evolved into H.Naledi are ossometric data fitting such hypothesis?
Is there any evidence that early hominids hunted and butchered other predators?
I’m a Paranthropus fan / cousin? Lol
TERRIFIC! This video comes with slides! The Leaky Foundation camera operators join the modern world. Not to be missed.
