Did Hominids Who Lived 1.4 Million Years Ago Already Know Geometry?
<p>As a lover of both geometry and antiquity, I am thrilled to share the findings of a recent study on limestone spheroids from the Early Acheulean site of ‘Ubeidiya in Israel, dated to approximately 1.4 million years ago.</p>
<p>Led by Antoine Muller of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a team of international researchers analyzed 150 spheroids using innovative 3D scanning and geometric analysis methods.</p>
<p>Spheroids, also known as stone balls, polyhedrons, or bolas, are amongst the oldest surviving lithic tool types, appearing as early as the Oldowan and continuing into the Middle Palaeolithic.</p>
