Abstract in brief

Identification of cut marks on a 1.45 million-year-old hominin tibia from Kenya is a rare finding in paleoanthropology.
Researchers created a 3-D model of the marks using dental molding material and advanced scanning technology.
The study confirms these marks are consistent with butchery marks from experimental data, making them the first identified on any early Pleistocene hominin fossil.
