		Excavations by Potts, Huang, and their team from the Smithsonian and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have shown, however, that large bifaces were made in South China around 800,000 years ago.
		This symmetrical and bifacial approach to tool-manufacture is characteristic of the Acheulean industry found from India to England and south to the Cape of Good Hope after 500,000 years ago.

		Additional hominid fossils have come to light in the lower and the upper (later) levels of Olduvai, including a skull of Homo Erectus dating from about one million years ago.
		By this time the inhabitants of the Olduvai camps were making more sophisticated stone artefacts of Acheulean type, including carefully shaped stone hand axes that served as more effective multipurpose implements than chopping tools.
