| dc.description.abstract | African indigenous science and technology like the western science and technology has unfolded since the dawn of human history. According to Shishima, the first evidence of tools used by African ancestors is interred in valleys across Sub-Saharan Africa. In recent years, a greater volume of African countries have embraced technology as a driver of development, example of Kenya's Vision 2030 and Rwanda's rapid Information and Computer Technology (ICT) growth (1). Shillington explains that, modern man first developed in the Great Rift Valley of Africa, the first development of tools is found there as well: The Homo habilis, residing in East Africa, developed the first tool making industry, the Olduwan, around 2.3 million BC. Homo ergaster developed the Acheulean stone tool industry, specifically hand-axes, in Africa, 1.5 million BC. | en_US |
