الوصف

What if the first technology was just a stone?Tristan Hughes and Dr. Emma Finestone travel back over 3 million years to Africa, where early hominins began shaping stone tools that transformed survival, diet, and behaviour. From the earliest finds to the widespread tool making industry in northern Tanzania, they explore who made these tools, how they worked, and why they matter.MORERise of HumansListen on AppleListen on SpotifyOrigins of the WheelListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Tristan Hughes.
