Sumario:[EN] Olduvai Gorge, in northern Tanzania, is one of the most relevant paleoanthropological sequences in the Old World, and has yielded an unparalleled wealth of findings for some of the early stages of human evolution. Olduvai was the first site where evidence of a very early stone tool technology was found, the Oldowan, and it was also where the first fossils of Homo habilis and Paranthropus boisei were discovered. This paper presents the project led by CSIC at Olduvai, a project that has conducted fieldwork at Olduvai since 2008, and has produced relevant archaeological results for the study of the Homo habilis to Homo erectus transition, between 1.7 and 1.4 million years ago.
