Old stone tools in Ukraine: the oldest proof of early humans in Europe.

Scientists found really old stone tools in Ukraine. These tools might be the oldest proof we have of humans living in Europe.

The tools were buried deep underground and scientists used new ways to figure out how old they are. They believe the tools are more than a million years old.

It's hard to say for sure who made these tools, but it might have been a type of early human called Homo erectus. Homo erectus were good at walking on two legs and using fire.

These tools were probably used for important tasks like cutting meat and cleaning animal skins. Similar tools have been found in other places like Spain and Africa, but these are much older.

This discovery is really exciting because it shows that early humans were able to live in many different places, from warm Spain to colder Ukraine.
