This document traces the evolution of tool use among early humans from Australopithecus afarensis to Cro-Magnon humans. Australopithecus afarensis did not make tools but used found objects like sticks. Homo habilis were the first to create simple tools for hunting and gathering. Homo erectus controlled fire and made stone knives and axes. Neanderthals were strong and used fire to smoke food. Cro-Magnons were intelligent hunters who preserved food with salt and smoke and created advanced tools like bows, arrows, needles and fishing rods. The evolution of tools had significant effects on human activities like eating, cooking, food storage and migration patterns.
