Ancient hand fossils reveal surprising strength, hinting at early tool use.
New fossils are changing our understanding of early human relatives. These million-year-old hand bones tell a story of strength and dexterity.
It's amazing how much these ancient hands could do. They show features similar to humans. Yet, they also had the gripping power of gorillas.
These discoveries suggest tool use might have started earlier than we thought. Fossils of Paranthropus boisei are key to this new view. Their hands had surprising features.
This hints that tool-making wasn't exclusive to our direct human ancestors. The implications are significant.
Scientists are now looking closer at these ancient hand bones. This research could rewrite early human history.
