Structure of hand early human ancestors who lived 3.2 million years ago that they were able to understand and use the tools, even if they did not invent them even anthropologists said Thursday.
Australopithecus africanus, which lived millions of years ago 2:58 that currently South Africa, do not think that made tools - the first evidence that dates back to 2.6 million years ago - but their hands are evidence to the contrary, according to the study, in the journal Science.
The new findings are based on a new study of the internal structure of cancellous bone called trabeculae, which may show how the bones were used while people were still alive.

If anyone would like to see an example of why America is now behind some third world nations in science education look no further. Read many of the comments below and see what kind of idiots we are producing.

Like it's as if they were expecting our ancestors to invent or even just see tools and think 'gee, I wish we were evolved enough to grasp and use those tools. I guess we'll have to wait until our hands change over time'

Thousands of years from now, our descendants will dig up all these electronic gadgets and all will have a black screen....they'll be scratching their heads for quite some while...
