Tool-use is seen today across a range of animal species, so it’s not hard to conceive of it being pretty ancient indeed in Earth history. Probably many millions of years old, in fact.
Also interesting here is that the 430k date means that the tools predated Sapiens, and was therefore down to a small handful of earlier human species.
