Archaeologists and paleontologists from universities in Spain, Israel, and Gibraltar reported that common techniques of manufacturing stone tools using animal bones developed in widely geographically separated cultures in the earliest known stone tools ever discovered in the Oct. 11, 2013, edition of the journal Public Library of Science.
