[ link to www.livescience.com (secure)] Mystery of 2 million-year-old stone balls solved
In other words, if a bone were a can of soup, these ancient stone balls were like ancient can openers.
The finding is a remarkable one; archaeologists have wondered for decades exactly how ancient humans used these stone balls. "Our study provided evidence, for the first time, regarding the function of these enigmatic-shaped stone balls that were produced by humans for almost 2 million years," study lead researcher Ella Assaf, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near East Cultures at Tel Aviv University in Israel, told Live Science in an email.
