For years, the cradle of mankind has been associated with the Rift Valley but this is likely to change after the recent discovery of early man’s tools in Nyeri and Laikipia counties.

After more than 20 years following hunches and connecting dots, archaeologists at the National Museums of Kenya have begun a study on the possible presence of early man in Mt Kenya and Aberdares regions.

The archaeologists have pitched camp in Ngobit, Laikipia County, site of a possible butchery for the hominids.

The study is led by Dr Francis Kirera, an anatomy professor at Mercer University in the United States, and Dr Ngalla Jillani, an anthropologist at NMK.
