The Homo erectus dominated the desert long before what we thought.

An investigation in Tanzania has revealed tools and techniques used by Homo erectus to dominate the African desert a million years ago In northern Tanzania, near the huge Lake Victoria, are some of the most important anthropological sites in the world. After working for years on the site ‘Engaji Nanyori’, an international team has published a momentous finding in Nature magazine: tens of thousands of fragments of stone tools a million years ago.
