Six-year-old Ben Witten found a 40,000- to 60,000-year-old Neanderthal hand axe on a UK beach.

Six-year-old Ben Witten discovered a Neanderthal hand axe on Shoreham Beach in West Sussex, UK. The tool, estimated to be between 40,000 and 60,000 years old, was identified as a Neanderthal artifact after Ben noticed its similarity to items in a museum exhibit. The hand axe, believed to be from the Late Middle Palaeolithic era, has been relocated from Ben's bedroom to the Worthing Museum for display until early 2025.
