New research suggests they appreciated geometry and symmetry.
Early humans appreciated geometry and symmetry and were intentionally crafting spherical shapes around 1.4 million years ago, according to an analysis of ancient stone balls.
The team reconstructed the steps required to create these spheroids and found the patterns on the artefacts were crafted as part of “a preconceived goal to make a sphere”. Antoine Muller, a researcher at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s The Institute of Archaeology, said: “The main significance of the findings is that these spheroids from ‘Ubeidiya appear to be intentionally made, with the goal of achieving a sphere.Ancient spheroids were part of the daily lives of early humans nearly two million years but what exactly they were used for has remained a mystery.
