The document discusses several key developments from the Stone Age, including tool making, communication, and controlling fire. It explains that early humans first made simple tools like axes and carrying bags, then over time developed more complex tools like bows and metal tools. Communication started with gestures and grunts and evolved into simple words and language. People first discovered fire from natural occurrences like lightning and realized fire provided warmth, light, and could scare animals. They then learned to create fire by rubbing flints together to cause sparks. These developments were important as tools allowed for tasks to help survival, communication enabled cooperation, and controlling fire supported cooking, crafts, and working with metals.

2. The Making
of Tools
What tools early humans made Why tools were an advantage to
stone age people
Stone age people used a variety of different stones Tools were an advantage to early
to make tools. At first humans made simple tools people because tools allowed
like axes, drills, carrying bags and awls (tool for
making holes through leather or wood). Over
them to make fire, chop wood,
time, people started to make much more complex pierce holes, kill animals for food
tools like wooden hunting bows, flint spearheads and to make things like pottery and
and metal tools. jewelry.
Why it is an important development for human kind
This was such an important development for human kind because the simple
tools were developed into much more complex tools which have made the
brilliant technology we have today. Without the tools people made from the stone
age we would not have been able to have the fantastic goods and devices we
have today .

3. Starting to Communicate
How Communication Started
People might have started to communicate with
just simple hand gestures, facial expressions, or
even slight grunts. Later on they developed simple
words, which led to a real language.

4. The Making of Fire
How they came across fire
People probably first saw fire when lighting struck trees or
other parts of nature. They then all gathered round the
burning tree and realized that the burning thing let off heat
that kept them all nice and warm, then they saw it let off light.
Next an animal came past them and when it saw the fire the
animal ran off in fear. They really liked this new thing they had
found because it could let off light, keep them warm, scare
away animals, and it would allow them to cook food or warm
