AMAZING FISH SHAPE Paleolithic HOMO ERECTUS Man Stone HAND AXE (#F2482)

Description

Note number in brackets in title is just my inventory number.
This has to be one of the most amazing stone age artifacts to come out of the Sahara. It was one of a few dozen hand axes and other stone artifacts that I bought in Morocco several years ago. I have been slowly pulling them out and selling them when I noticed what looks obviously like eyes and a mouth. It would be hard to believe that this design is by accident. Its made like a typical hand axe and appears designed for a right handed person - and as a result of this design its not symmetrical like a fis
h carving would be. It looks like somebody a couple hundred thousand years ago decided to get cute when making his hand axe. Absolutely amazing stone artifact. Weighs 486 Grams.
Between 60,000 and more than a million years old. Technology from one of our very distant ancestors. Found in the Sahara Desert by nomads searching for meteorites.
Dating these axe's is highly problematic but generally these become more worked and better more symmetrical shape as time went by and the rougher ones is toward the earlier (Older) range. Most are around 60,000 to upwards of a million years old but some are believed to be more than 1.5 million years old. They are definitely pre neolithic as neolithic ones were well worked and smooth - and usually smaller.

From Wikipedia (Reproduced as per their commons licence) - Homo erectus (meaning 'upright man') was a species of archaic human from the Pleistocene, earliest occurrence about 2 mya and are among the first recognisable members of the genus Homo. Homo erectus was the first human ancestor to spread throughout the Old World, having a distribution in Eurasia extending from the Iberian peninsula to Java. African populations of Homo erectus are likely to be the direct ancestors to several human species, such as H. heidelbergensis, H. antecessor, Neanderthals, Denisovans, and ultimately modern humans.
