So, here's an interesting one. At Castel di Guido in Italy (close to Rome) we've found evidence of almost production-line like creation of tools...from elephant bones.
The theory is that they had a lot of elephants and no flint, so they were using the bones instead of flint. So instead of the typical primitive bone tools, they had sophisticated bone tools. (There was a water hole that attracted a lot of elephants).
Oh, and this was 400,000 years ago. Hi, Neanderthals. Nice tools you have there...can I borrow one?
