In the German city of Schöningen, a 300,000-year-old skillfully crafted boomerang was found. This is the oldest boomerang ever found, showing that hominids of the time had the knowledge and skills necessary to create complex tools.

The boomerang is made of spruce wood and is 77 centimeters long. It is pointed at both ends and has a curved shape. This boomerang was found underwater, which helped retain its shape and structure.

Researchers who studied the boomerang believe that it was used for hunting. They assume that hunters threw the boomerang at the feet of animals to stop them, and then ran to the prey and finished them off with spears, according to an article in the scientific journal Plos.org.
