These 90,000-Year-Old Wooden Tools Weren't Even Made by Humans

Some of the oldest tools ever discovered.

Archaeological excavations in Northern Spain have turned up something incredible. Two wooden tools that, at 90,000 years old, are the oldest of their kind ever found.

What's especially cool is that these tools weren't made and used by Homo sapiens, but our older cousins - Neanderthals.
