Sia ? 4 years, 9 months ago

Australopithecus were the first to use tools. About 35,000 years ago, we came across the evidence of are markable improvement in the method of hunting animals. It became clear from the event that a special type of spear was used to hunt animals. The tools used by early man can be categorised into three types. They are discussed under following heads:

  1. Hand-axes: They were used for pouncing. In the beginning, they were used without a handle, but later on wooden handle was attached to it. It was made possible to use them with much force.
  2. Chopper: They were made of heavy stones worked to a sharp edge in one direction only, and were most probably used for chopping meat.
  3. Flake implements: They were used as knives and scrapers for finer works. For thousands of years of man’s early history the only remains that we find are crude stone tools. These tools are often found lying along the terraces of rivers, or in the huts or caves where early man used to live and roam in search of wild animals. These tools made by him served many purposes such as skimming of dead animals. cutting their flesh, etc.

About 35,000 years ago new kinds of tools such as spear throwers, bow and arrow came into being
