The document traces the evolution of tool use among early hominid species from Australopithecus afarensis to Homo sapiens sapiens. It describes how tools became more advanced over time, from simple stone tools to axes, traps, fishing hooks, boats, bows and arrows. Later hominids such as Homo erectus, Homo sapiens Neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens Cro-Magnon displayed increased hunting skills and more complex tools and technologies.
