Archaeologists discovered 20,000-year-old hunting tools made from whale bones in Europe.
Scientists have found the oldest known tools made from whale bones, dating back to around 20,000 years ago.
The tools, discovered in excavations near Spain and France in the Bay of Biscay, were narrow projectiles used for hunting.
The bones were from various whale species, including blue, fin, and sperm whales.
This discovery shows that ancient humans used coastal resources for survival, likely also collecting seashells and fishing.
The research pushes back the timeline of whale bone tool usage by about 15,000 years.
