Turkana is the reason kenya is known as the home of human origins, as it's where some of the earliest human fossils and archaeological discoveries have been found.

Particularly the Turkana Basin, where significant archaeological finds, including Turkana Boy (Homo erectus) and the world’s oldest stone tools at Lomekwi, provide a unique window into early human technological and cultural development.
