It has given such proofs that paves the understanding of early human evolution. It is because many groups of scientists have been finding hundreds of fossilized bones and stone tools in this area which are from millions of years ago. Ewass Oldupa, the western area of the place, is a 28 miles long canyon which is famous for its hominin fossils. This important place has indeed kept up to the expectation and has gifted the scientists some more
A team of international archaeologists and paleoanthropologists unearthed a big amount of stone tools dating back 2 million years during the Early Pleistocene period in addition to fossilized bones and plant materials. The discovery was made at a site called Ewass Oldupa which is located in the western part of the ancient basin Olduvai Gorge (now called Oldupai) in the northern part of Tanzania.

Olduvai (now Oldupai) Gorge, known as the Cradle of Humankind, is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tanzania, made famous by Louis and Mary Leakey. New interdisciplinary field work has led to the discovery of the oldest archaeological site in Oldupai Gorge as reported in Nature Communications, which shows that early human used a wide diversity of habitats amidst environmental changes across a 200,000 year-long period.
