that seems accurate, the fossil records are backdated by depth of sediment, yet as far back as the ice age the upper crust was churned more than can really be estimated. So the idea of apes being similar at the 4.3 million year marking is one hypothesis, lets see if we can disprove it with some form of archaeology. Here, tools from humans at 3.3 million years:

how do they date them? in the same manner. So if that is even all accurate, which seems contrived as you all may guess, then how is it that in the course and iteration of each one hundred thousand years, each species of animal hasn't adapted and created tools? Why don't all things use tools, you can say the human hand gives us a gripping power that affords us building but as you can see, rodents, snakes, octopus, other apes, and far more can manipulate the environment, not to mention avians and other species with strong gripping abilities.
can't say any of that is bulletproof but you get the idea.
