    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earliest_tools

    Many such sites have hominin bones, teeth, or footprints, but unless they also include evidence for tools or tool use, they are omitted here. This list excludes tools and tool use attributed to non-hominin species. See Tool use by non-humans. Since there are far too many hominin tool sites to list on a single page, this page attempts to list ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool

    Tool use by animals is a phenomenon in which an animal uses any kind of tool in order to achieve a goal such as acquiring food and water, grooming, defense, communication, recreation or construction. [42] Originally thought to be a skill possessed only by humans, some tool use requires a sophisticated level of cognition. [43]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldowan

    The use of tools by apes including chimpanzees [12] and orangutans [13] can be used to argue in favour of tool-use as an ancestral feature of the hominin family. [14] Tools made from bone, wood, or other organic materials were therefore in all probability used before the Oldowan. [ 15 ]

  5. Pleistocene human diet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_human_diet

    Fire presents clear advantages to a species diet, in that cooking allows a greater range of foods to be eaten and improves the caloric content of both animal protein and plants. [13] Another hypothesis is that H. erectus used tools to slice up their food even before they started to cook it, making it easier to chew. [14]

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Control_of_fire_by_early_humans

    The control of fire by early humans was a critical technology enabling the evolution of humans. Fire provided a source of warmth and lighting, protection from predators (especially at night), a way to create more advanced hunting tools, and a method for cooking food.

  8. Outline of prehistoric technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_prehistoric...

    Anything prior to the first written accounts of history is prehistoric (meaning "before history"), including earlier technologies. About 2.5 million years before writing was developed, technology began with the earliest hominids who used stone tools, which they may have used to start fires, hunt, cut food, and bury their dead.

  9. Prehistoric technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_technology

    The Stone Age is a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used in the manufacture of implements with a sharp edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted roughly 2.5 million years, from the time of early hominids to Homo sapiens in the later Pleistocene era, and largely ended between 6000 and 2000 BCE with the advent of metalworking.
