By: Matthias E.
Each Hominid used tools in a wayAs the hominids developed, the tools
developedHominids needed tools to surviveThey needed tools to eat and catch food no
matter how basic the tools wereRocks, twigs, and fire are some examples of
things that could be tools, or made into to tools
First to use toolsVery basic tools, such as twigs, or rocksThey could only use tools they found, they
could not make toolsThey did not hunt with the tools, they
gathered
Reconstruction of Australopithecus Afrenisis
Twig used to poke things
They made tools for a purposeSimple tools made out of rocks during the
stone age, they made them by knocking flakes off them to sharpen them
They hunted and gathered with the tools they made
They used tools for chopping, scrapping and cutting
They could also use fire, but did not know how make it Sharpened
rocks
Reconstruction of a Homo Habilis species
The Homo Erectus had a bigger brain according to the size of their cranium, allowing them make more complex tools
The homo erectus used stone axes, and stone knives and learned how to make fire, with fire they could use it for visibility at night, also for hunting
Homo Erectus were the first early humans to hunt
Stone knives the Homo Erectus used
The homo sapiens were smarter and stronger, allowing them to come up with more complex tools
Homo Sapiens used tools that can be thrown such as harpoons, spears, and sharp knives using stone to carve them
Homo Sapiens had developed a language allowing them to hunt bigger prey, they could work as a team
They also built shelters to protect themselves from the weather
The Cro-Magnon people were also very smart, so they could come up with better tools
They used many tools to hunt and used fish hooks, to fish
They were first found in FranceThey also made rafts and canoes for
travelling
Homo Sapiens Sapiens are modern humans, Us!
They made their tools very precisely They also weaved baskets from reeds According to scientists Early humans left behind stones, pottery, and
jewelleryThey also were the first hominids to farm As they are the same group that we evolved
from, as we evolved, we made major advancements in technology
