Scientists have found evidence that stone tools were used to cut meat almost 1 million years earlier than thought.

The discovery which was made in Ethiopia completely rewrites the history books, extends the Stone Age back almost 1 million years and adds a whole new chapter to the story of our past.

And I thought that 100 years was a long period of time. But extending the stone age by 1millions years? Damn.
