Hand axes are not only tools but also symbols. A new article reports that archaeologists have discovered giant hand axes in England, dating back 300,000 years ago. These axes, weighing up to 10 kilograms, were made by prehistoric humans who had remarkable strength and skill. They also suggest that the axes were used for social display rather than practical purposes, reflecting the culture and identity of their makers. #HandAxes #England #Prehistory https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/giant-hand-axes-discovered-in-england-point-to-prehistoric-humans-strength-and-skill-180982516/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user%2Fadenine2k
