Archaeological evidence informs our understanding of the evolution of hominin behaviour.
Such evidence is traditionally used to reconstruct hominin activities and intentions. In the …

Human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) poses threats to a variety of species,

The origin of tool use is a central question in human evolutionary studies. Plio-Pleistocene
core and flake technologies represent the earliest evidence of tool use in the human …

The earliest stone tool types, sharp flakes knapped from stone cores, are assumed to have
played a crucial role in human cognitive evolution. Flaked stone tools have been observed …

Stone tools in the prehistoric record are the most abundant source of evidence for
understanding early hominin technological and cultural variation. The field of primate …

The new field of primate archaeology investigates the technological behavior and material
record of nonhuman primates, providing valuable comparative data on our understanding of …

Stone tool use is a rare behavior across nonhuman primates. Here we report the first
