"How to Carve an Elephant" is a chapter in Making Silent Stones Speak:
Human Evolution and the Dawn of Technology by Kathy D. Schick and Nicholas
Toth (1993). A writeup on some archaeologists that showed that a dead
elephant can be carved up using the simple tools that were available 1.5 -
1.9 million years ago.
