Between 3 and 2 million years ago, our eastern African ancestors became omnivorous. A biped primate with mostly vegetarian eating strategy changed and started to eat animal food, meat and fat coming from the carcasses of large mammals, developing at the beginning a scavenging behavior. This was only possible thanks to the development of one extrasomatic evolution, the cultural technology making lithic artifacts, flakes to cut and dismember the carcasses and percussion tools to break the bones and extract the marrow content. These earliest lithics were very primitive and rudimentary, dominated by pebbles, cores and flakes, corresponding to the named Oldowan or Mode 1.
