Each Conclusion Produces New Questions

There are no Homo sapiens fossils that date back to 2.6 millions years ago, but there are fossils with human-like characteristics from this time period. That suggests that the creatures represented by those fossils may have made the tools.

However, these creatures are different from us, leading to another question:

Who are they and how are they related to us?
