    Olorgesailie, Kenya, has archaeological and fossil finds dating from as early as
    1 million to more recent than 300,000 years ago. The most famous discovery
    is an ancient surface covered in Acheulean handaxes.

    Why did hominins go to a lot of trouble making
    vast numbers of these things, and then just
    leave them lying on the ground?
