Experts believe they shed light on the development of early humans' bandwidth to further their technological prowess. The knives recovered are still sharp three millions of years after their use. Experts believe their initial uses were for peeling fruits, vegetables, and animal flesh. They were created by stones being smashed together, experts say. The stone made knives discovered may show a major development in early humans that propelled intuitive evolution. It likely led to further technological breakthroughs. https://nypost.com/2024/12/24/science/egyptian-mummy-discovered-with-bubonic-plague-rewrites-history/#respond Tue, 24 Dec 2024 15:49:22 -0500 2024-12-24T15:49:30-05:00 https://nypost.com/2024/12/24/science/egyptian-mummy-discovered-with-bubonic-plague-rewrites-history/ Ben Cost https://nypost.com/?post_type=article&p=34193056 0 34193056 Mummy.
