A study by Tel Aviv University reveals the earliest use of Quina scrapers 400,000 years ago, reflecting a shift in hunting practices due to the extinction of large game like elephants. The research indicates a significant cultural and practical evolution in early human societies, linking tool technology with the sacred geographical sources of resources.
