Dan Palchu Rollier

Dr. Dan Palchu Rollier is a researcher at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, who has contributed to significant archaeological findings in the area of tool-making by early human ancestors. Recently in the news for his involvement in a study revealing that ancient hominins, specifically Homo habilis, demonstrated advanced knowledge in crafting stone tools over a period of 300,000 years, he highlighted the complexity and skill involved in their tool-making practices. His work suggests that these early humans were adept at selecting the best materials for their tools, which were crucial for their survival during dramatic climate changes in East Africa.
