In June 2021 a collection prehistoric stone tools from Kenya was displayed at a small museum in France. The collection is part of the Homo Faber (‘the one who manufactures’) exhibition going on until November 2021 at the National Museum of Prehistory in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, southwestern France.
Dated at 3.3 million years old, they are the oldest man-made objects ever found in the world. Their public display in a foreign country raises questions about Kenya’s commitment to the preservation of culture and scientific heritage.
