AHOW #002

The simplicity and power of this tool is astounding. This tool could be one of the very first objects to have been made by human hands. Think of the tools you use everyday, the rate at which technology changes, and the tools that have become obsolete in your lifetime. This stone chopper is where all of today's technology started. The tool is where humans start to separate themselves from animals. What will you leave behind that will last 1.8 million years?

I have included in this post the podcast of AHOW #002 and a link to a video of Sir David Attenborough talking about this chopper while holding it. This short video gives some insight into its use.
