The Standard is now reporting albeit a month late that stone tools that are 3.3 million years old have been discovered on the shores of lake Turkana.

Big news because scientists have always assumed that only members of the genus homo made stone tools. Remember in form one you were taught that Homo Habilis (handy man) was the first tool maker.

It appears earlier hominind species were making tools. Possibly Australopithecus Garrhi or Kenyanthropus platyops

They also found the skeleton of a whale near Lake Turkana. Apparently there was a river running from the sea all the way there.

Looks like that area was very active and fertile.

If you are interested in archaeology, it will be of benefit. It can even help you make small talk with your fish.

When I'm listening to a boring discussion,I usually use the word "interesting" to mislead people that I'm keenly following what they are saying

it was.... it's only in the last 7,500 years or so that the Turkana basin started being the way it is... it's actually one of the places where mammalian life teemed properly.

I had read somewhere that the Rift Valleys lakes were all one huge body of water from Turkana to Naivasha. They slowly started separating while drying up.
