Evidence for pre-human tool use in Africa: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/04/17/archaeologists-may-have-uncovered-world-first-tools/Archaeologists may have just rewritten the book on the first use of tools in a major way. The team found what it says are unmistakable stone tools at a site near Lake Turkana in Kenya that date back 3.3 million years, reports Science. That doesn't just eclipse the previous mark by a smidge, it shatters it by about 700,000 years. The new date is significant because the first modern humans—the Homo genus—didn't arrive until 2.8 million years ago, meaning these tools would have been used by our ancient predecessors, like the famed Lucy. Their use of tools has never been proven. The work hasn't been published yet, but a Stony Brook archaeologist on the team presented the findings at the Paleoanthropology Society meeting in San Francisco this week. "The obvious implication is that stone tools were invented and used by multiple lineages of early hominins," University of Wisconsin anthropologist John Hawks, who wasn't part of the research, writes at his blog. Previous researchers have speculated as much after the discovery in 2010 of what looked like marks made by tools on animal bones, specimens dated to the same era that were found in Ethiopia. But skepticism overshadowed the theory because no tools were found. The new research may have uncovered them—stones that were "knapped," or deliberately chipped, along with anvils, reports Phys.org. The next step will likely be to see if cuttings on the bones found in 2010 are a match, the site notes.

Fascinating. If I could have one wish it would be to know all that happened prior.

Not all tools were made of substances that last as long as stone and not all tools left tool marks. If man had made a snare from twine and twigfs it would obviously count as a tool, but there would be no record of it. Human tool use and civilizations are absolutely misdated.

Yes, we can see this by observing [bleep]'s in the wild where they also use tools. Many of their tools are wooden, and would not survive the ravages of time, and their use of stone tools is often that of a hammer and anvil to crush nuts or other hard surfaced foods.
