Over Million-Year-Old Human Tools Found Near 'Hobbit' Island, Sulawesi:

A team of archaeologists from Indonesia and Australia has unearthed what could be the oldest human-made tools ever discovered in the region, on Sulawesi island near Flores—home to the extinct ‘Hobbit’ species, Homo floresiensis. The tools found at the Calio site date back over one million years, providing strong evidence that early humans crossed major oceanic barriers far earlier than previously thought.
