Yeah I saw that. The article I linked to points to the tools found used as knives, scrapers, borers and axes. The only new thing I saw was the use of graphite but besides that most of it was already happening 350,000 years(!) before that point which is why it didn’t seem all that remarkable to me.
What I found especially remarkable was that the hominid that made all those tools in India wasn’t even Homo sapiens and it is kind of unknown who made them at this point. What’s even more interesting is that these tools were found significantly under the layer of deposits left behind from the Toba eruption 74,000 years ago. There’s so much we don’t know, it’s all very interesting.
