24 Classification of flint Flint is archaeological rock name, and good for stone tools. Instead of flint, the following geological rock names should be used; Bedded chert; deep sea sediments below CCD Radiolarite ; deep sea sediments below or above CCD (silicified forams) Siliceous nodule (concretion); shallow sea limestone

76 Stone Tools-The Dawn of Technology The earliest stones discovered so far are from the Gona in Ethiopia (2.5 million years ago).

77 OUT OF AFRICA Multi-Regional Hypothesis H. sapiens sapiens evolved regionally from the erectus population. Out-of-Africa Hypothes yis H. sapiens developed in Africa and then migrated from the continent, gradually replacing H. erectus populations in the rest of the world because of their superior technology and communication skills

78 WE are all descended from a population of modern H spiens that lived somewhere in Africa approximately years ago.
