Nobody knows when the first ideas that led to the great innovations in history emerged. Every time we think we've reached the origin, a new discovery pushes it even further back in time. However, it is believed that one of the most important – the biface, a stone tool flaked on both sides – appeared almost 2 million years ago. And it changed everything.
With this tool, we were able to cut meat more quickly and effectively. This gave us access to new diets, which, in the long term, impacted our brain development. It became possible to work wood and other materials, as well as to transform the environment around us. For the first time, we were not just adapting to the world – we were beginning to transform it.
In this book, archaeologist Sara Cura takes us on a fascinating journey through the prehistoric innovations that changed the world. From threads to ropes, from shoes to the eye of a needle, many objects we use in our daily lives were surprisingly born thousands of years ago – and some go back millions. Our history begins much earlier than we imagine… and this book invites us to discover it.
