I ka makahiki 2015, ua hōʻiliʻili kahi hui o nā paleontologists ʻAmelika i kahi hōʻiliʻili o nā mea hana i kālai ʻia ma kahi kahua archaeological Pliocene, ʻoi aku ia ma mua o 3.3 miliona mau makahiki. Ma kahi o 3.3 miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻomaka kekahi e ʻoki i kahi pōhaku ma ka muliwai. Ua hoʻololi kēia ʻoki ʻana i ka pōhaku i mea hana, hoʻohana ʻia paha no ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka ʻiʻo a i ʻole ka haki ʻana i nā nati. A ua hana ʻia kēia hana ʻenehana ma mua o ka ʻike ʻana o ke kanaka ma ka ʻāina evolutionary.
Mai nā hominid mua, ʻO Homo habilis, hiki mai i nā haneli mau makahiki ma hope mai, ʻo ka mea i loaʻa he enigma pilikia: ʻO wai ka mea i hana i kēia mau mea hana? Ua loaʻa ka ʻike ma ka pae archaeological o Lomekwi 3, Kenya, a ua manaʻo ka poʻe ʻepekema hiki ke hoʻololi i ka archeology a koi i ka mōʻaukala e kākau hou ʻia.
Ua hoʻohui ʻia kēia ʻike i ka papa inoa o nā ʻike pohihihi ʻē aʻe e like me ka archeology mainstream ʻaʻole hiki ke hiki. Ma waena o nā mea hana ma kahi kokoke i 150 i loaʻa ma ke kahua archaeological he hamare, anvils, a me nā pōhaku i kālai ʻia i hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i nā miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei e wehe a haki i nā hua a i ʻole nā ʻuala, a kalai i nā kumu lāʻau i hāʻule i mea e ʻai ai nā iniseti.
Wahi a he ʻatikala i paʻi ʻia ma Nature.com, ka Lomekwi 3 knappers, me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka ʻike o nā waiwai haʻihaʻi pōhaku, hui pū ʻia ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa kumu me nā hana paʻi.
Hāʻawi ʻia i nā hopena o ka hui Lomekwi 3 no nā hiʻohiʻona e hoʻohuli i ka loli kaiapuni, hominin evolution, a me nā kumu ʻenehana, manaʻo mākou nona ka inoa 'Lomekwian', ka mea ma mua o ka Oldowan ma 700,000 mau makahiki a hōʻailona i kahi hoʻomaka hou i ka moʻolelo archaeological kaulana. .
"ʻO kēia mau mea hana e hoʻomālamalama i kahi manawa i manaʻo ʻole ʻia a ʻike ʻole ʻia o ka hana hominin a hiki ke haʻi nui iā mākou e pili ana i ka ulu ʻana o ka cognitive i ko mākou mau kūpuna ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaopopo mai nā mōʻalihaku wale nō. Ua hōʻole kā mākou ʻike i ka manaʻo lōʻihi ʻo Homo habilis ka mea hana mea hana mua, " wahi a Kauka Harmand, ka mea kākau alakaʻi o kahi pepa i paʻi ʻia ma Nature.
"ʻO ka naʻauao maʻamau i nā haʻawina evolutionary kanaka mai ka wā i manaʻo ai ua pili ke kumu o nā mea hana pōhaku i ka puka ʻana mai o ka genus Homo, a ua pili kēia hoʻomohala ʻenehana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a me ka laha ʻana o nā mauʻu savannah," wahi a Kauka Jason Lewis o ke Kulanui o Stony Brook.
"ʻO ka mea i manaʻo ʻia ʻo kā mākou hanauna wale nō i lawe i ka lepa cognitive o ka paʻi ʻana i nā pōhaku e ʻoki i nā ʻōpala ʻoi a ʻo ia ke kumu o kā mākou holomua holomua."
Aia a hiki i kēia manawa, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā mea hana pōhaku mua loa i pili me Homo ma 2.6 miliona mau makahiki a ua hele mai mai nā waihona ʻAitiopa kokoke i nā koena mōʻalihaku o ka ʻelele mua o ka Homo habilis, ka mea i koi i ko lākou hiki ke hoʻohana i ko lākou mau lima e hana i nā mea hana.
ʻO Oldowan ka inoa o kēia "mua" ʻoihana kanaka. A ʻo ka huaʻōlelo archaeological ʻo "Oldowan" ʻo ia ka ʻoihana hana kālai pōhaku mua i ka prehistory. Ua hoʻohana ʻia nā mea hana Oldowan e nā hominid kahiko ma luna o ka hapa nui o ʻApelika, ʻAsia Hema, ka Middle East, a me ʻEulopa i ka wā Lower Paleolithic, kahi i hala mai 2.6 miliona mau makahiki i hala a 1.7 miliona mau makahiki i hala. ʻO ka ʻoihana Acheulean ʻoi aku ka holomua ma hope o kēia ʻoihana loea.
ʻO ka mea kākau o kēia mau mea hana pōhaku kekahi o nā pilikia nui i hoʻopuka ʻia e ko lākou ʻike ʻana. No ka manawa lōʻihi, manaʻo ka poʻe anthropologists ʻo kā mākou Homo genus cousins, kahi laina e hele pololei i homo sapiens, ka mea mua i hana ia mau mea paahana. Eia naʻe, i kēia kūlana, ʻaʻole ʻike ka poʻe noiʻi i ka mea nāna i hana i kēia mau mea hana kahiko, ʻaʻole pono e noho e like me ka archeology maʻamau. No laila, hōʻoia kēia ʻike kupaianaha i ka mea i kapa ʻia 'moʻolelo moʻolelo' o kekahi mau puke kaulana i oiaio?
