"Discovery of 1 Million-Year-Old Stone Tools in Ukraine Suggests Oldest European Settlement"

Ancient stone tools found in western Ukraine, dating back over 1 million years, may be the oldest evidence of early human presence in Europe. The chipped stones, likely fashioned by Homo erectus, were excavated from a quarry in the 1970s and suggest early humans were able to survive in diverse environments, from warm Iberia to Ukraine. The findings, published in Nature, shed light on the adaptability of early humans and their ability to colonize different regions.
