<prompt> Fingqa isihloko: Amathuluzi amatshe alahliwe enziwa abantu bokuqala aye akha ukhaphethi omkhulu engxenyeni ethile yoGwadule iSahara kulokho ososayensi abathi kungase kube indawo yokuqala eyenziwe umuntu. Izazi zemivubukulo ezisebenza eningizimu yeLibya zithole ukuthi izingxenye ezinkulu zomthambeka ongamakhilomitha angu-350 ubude zakhiwe ngamathuluzi amatshe awile. Bathola amathuluzi afinyelela kwangu-75 endaweni engamamitha-skwele owodwa nje kuphela emithambekeni yaseMasak Settafet, eduze kwaseFezzan, eLibya. Skrolela phansi ukuze ubone ividiyo. I-Massaq Settafet escarpment ngenhla eduze naseFezzan Libya ingaba indawo yokuqala emhlabeni eyenziwe umuntu. Futhi baye balinganisela ukuthi kungase kube namathuluzi aphakathi kuka-500,000 nezigidi ezinhlanu adalwe abantu bokuqala ikhilomitha ngalinye eliyisikwele lase-Afrika. Lena inani elilingana nalelo elalisetshenziselwa ukwakha i - Great Pyramid yaseGiza eGibithe. Kunzima ukuba ososayensi basho ngokunembile ukuthi abantu baqala nini ukwenza amathuluzi ngoba izinsalela zokuqala zibukeka njengezinto zemvelo kunokuba zibe yizinto ezenziwe umuntu. Amathuluzi amadala kakhulu awaziwayo amathuluzi amatshe ase-Oldowan ase-Ethiopia, aneminyaka engaba yizigidi ezingu-2,6 ubudala. Isikhathi sobuchwepheshe bamathuluzi ase-Acheulean - kuze kube yiminyaka eyizigidi ezingu-1.76 edlule - sasinezikhali ezinkulu zamatshe ezenziwe nge-flint ne-quartzite. Ngasekupheleni kwalesi sikhathi, amathuluzi ayelokhu ethuthukiswa futhi kamuva alandela lokho okubizwa ngokuthi ubuchwepheshe beLevallois, okwabona ukwakhiwa kwezikhwama, ama-slicer, izinaliti ezinamathiselwe futhi ezipholisiwe. Eminyakeni engaba ngu-50 000 eyedlule amaNeanderthal enza futhi asebenzisa amathuluzi e-filakisi acwengekile futhi akhethekile futhi kukholakala ukuthi kwakulesi sigaba lapho amathuluzi ayenziwa ngamathambo. Njengoba impucuko yabantu yayithuthuka, kwasetshenziswa izinto ezinjengezingwegwe zokudoba, izinkinobho nezinti zamathambo. Kuye kwatholakala amanxeba emathanjeni ezilwane okuthiwa aneminyaka eyizigidi ezingu - 3,4 ubudala - cishe ngesikhathi okhokho onjenge - nkawu obizwa ngokuthi i - Australopithecus afarensis - owaziwa ngokuthi uLucy - ayezulazula e - Afrika. Abacwaningi abenza lolu cwaningo bathi abakutholile kungase kuphoqelele ukuba sicabange kabusha ngendlela esichaza ngayo umlando wesintu nomthelela esibe nawo...  <response>: Abavubukuli baseNyuvesi yaseCambridge bathola inani elikhulu lamathuluzi amatshe emhlabathini eMassak Settafet eduze naseFezzan eningizimu yeLibya. Bathola isilinganiso samathuluzi angu - 75 emetheni ngalinye eliyisikwele lomhlabathi. Amathuluzi kucatshangwa ukuthi enziwa eminyakeni engu-500,000 edlule ngePleistocene. Ososayensi bathi kungase kube yisibonelo sokuqala sezwe elenziwe umuntu. Imigodi nemigodi eyayishiywe ukumbiwa kwamatshe yasiza ekuheheni izilwane kule ndawo. Abacwaningi balinganisela ukuthi okhokho babantu bokuqala kungenzeka bashiya amathuluzi amatshe afinyelela ezigidini ezinhlanu ekhilomitha ngalinye eliyisikwele lase-Afrika.
