German Science

The earliest people came to Germany from Africa through West Asia probably about a million years ago. These were not modern people, but earlier almost-humans. From Africa, they brought with them the knowledge of how to make Acheulean stone tools, and the use of fire. These early people kept on making Acheulean stone tools until about 200,000 years ago, when they began to make more efficient Mousterian tools instead.

When the earliest modern humans left Africa and walked to Europe, they arrived about 50,000 BC, bringing with them newer African scientific advances like . Sometime around this time, maybe after leaving Africa for colder climates, they invented clothing.
