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
