Isimila appears to have been a watering hole and a place to hunt for early hominoids.
Home to the only intact set of Stone Age tools, Isimila is also the site where many fossilized bones were found including those of a mammal related to the modern giraffe, but having a much shorter neck, and an extinct hippopotamus with unusual periscope-like projections.
