Arrowhead fragment from the oldest primitive population in luxury case. North Africa (25,000-45,000 years old)

Hand-made arrowheads from North Africa dating back around 40,000 years are fascinating artifacts that provide insight into the hunting techniques and craftsmanship of early human societies. These arrowheads were often made from flint, a material that was ideal for making cutting tools and weapons because of its sharp fracture surfaces. The technique used to make these arrowheads is known as the Levallois technique, in which a core stone was worked in such a way that sharp shards could be chipped off. This made for efficient and streamlined projectiles that were probably used for hunting wild animals. Archaeological evidence suggests that flint arrowheads were used in North Africa at least 40,000 years ago, suggesting that hunters at that time already had advanced hunting techniques. This gave them a significant advantage over earlier hunters who relied on spears and other hand weapons.
