Man's First Tools Said To Be Product Of Oldowan Culture Washington IUPD - Man has made all his tools, from the crudest stone hammers to the most ingenius space labora tories in a period of time that represents but a moment in the history of earth. Scientists believe the earth came into being about five billion years ago.

Your friends or neighbors won't tell you, but stal traces of your culinary triumph may be just as objectionable to them, as their favorite dishes are to youl pea red about two million years ago. But nothing resembling a tool was fashioned until yes terday, so to speak, and mod ern man's power plants, auto matic factories, electronic gadgets, and space vehicles took shape only today. , Dr. Kenneth Oakley of the British Museum believes that the first tools were flaked pebbles made by "near men" who lived in Tanganyika some 500,000 years ago. This period of 500,000 years amounts to only one ten thousandths the age of the earth. Civilization by com parison began only about one tick of the clock ago. In a report published by the Smithsonian Institution, Oak ley says the oldest tools were the product of the so-called Oldowan culture dating from the early Pleistocene or Ice Age period of half a million years ago. These flaked pebbles have been found In a lake-shore deposit in Tanganyika and in deposits of the same antiquity elsewhere in Africa. This indicates, the Smith sonian s&.d, "that the first tool-makers spread widely over the whole continent." At the time these pebbles were fashioned, however crudely, into tools, Africa was inhabitd by the Australo- pithecines. What were they? Approached Human Form "They have been called Near Men' but not generally accepted as 'men,' ' the Smithsonian said. "In physic al structure they approached the human form more closely than any of the great apes, for they could walk upright and lived in open country away from forests. "But they lacked what is generally regarded as man's distinguishing f e ature: A large brain. ' Their brains were in fact no larger than those of the present higher apes. Could such creatures, be fore the rise of Homo Sapiens, have been the first tool makers? Oakley believes they were. Pebble tools were found with remains of Australopi thecus at Sterkfonteln In 1957.
