Ancient tools, buried for millions of years in Kenya, may be the oldest example yet of our ancestors' technological prowess. The tools, recently discovered on the Homa Peninsula in Lake Victoria, are now the earliest known examples of Oldowan technology — stretching its known start date back by as many as 400,000 years.

Clearly, you know more about this subject than I do.
However...
The total change in average temperature in the last glacial was 11 degrees, not 18 degrees.
Also, the Bering Strait was iced over, which meant a much larger volume of warm tropical water was rushing straight at Greenland and the north Atlantic.

Well, we do have a tendency to kill ourselves off in large masses from time to time................
The rock may be three million years old, but the tool made from it may not be................
The 10 mm socket and wrench are missing…so they are useless.

But, but, but…..it was all created 6,000 years ago. //sarc
At that age they were used by the people illed off with the first great flood, prior to Adam and Noah.
I'm sorry, I don't really follow that. The Bering Strait is between Alaska and Siberia which is a very long way from Greenland and the Atlantic Ocean. Also if it were iced over that would block flow from the south (the Pacific Ocean) to the Arctic Ocean not increase it.
But more than that, before the ice caps had fully melted there was no strait between Alaska and Siberia. It was land which would have fully blocked water from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean. Even now there isn't much flow from the Arctic Ocean to Greenland from the North Pacific and it's anything but warm.
Below is a graphic of the known full extent of the northern ices sheets.
Well, no wonder they died out! :)
I have socks older than that.
When the Earth began to warm around 20,000 years ago, warm tropical water naturally began to move towards the poles.
Because the access to the North Pole was so constrained, much of the warm water generated in the Pacific and Indian Oceans bypassed Antarctica and turned northward into the South Atlantic.
On the flip side, larger volumes of cold water began flowing south from the north polar regions towards the South Atlantic.
This is why I said Greenland was an outlier for average temperature around 11,700 years ago.
