As hominids evolved over time, so did their tool usage and complexity. Early hominids like Australopithecus afarensis used basic tools like rocks and twigs for gathering food. Later Homo habilis species were able to make sharper stone tools for hunting and gathering. Homo erectus controlled fire and used stone axes and knives, allowing them to hunt at night. More advanced Homo sapiens crafted projectile weapons like spears and developed language for complex cooperative hunting. The Cro-Magnon people created specialized tools like fish hooks and rafts, demonstrating sophisticated tool usage. Modern humans Homo sapiens sapiens then precisely crafted advanced tools and engaged in activities like farming,

2. Each Hominid used tools in a way As the hominids developed, the tools developed Hominids needed tools to survive They needed tools to eat and catch food no matter how basic the tools were Rocks, twigs, and fire are some examples of things that could be tools, or made into to tools

3. First to use tools Very basic tools, such as twigs, or rocks They could only use tools they found, they could not make tools They did not hunt with the tools, they gathered Reconstruction of Australopithecus Afrenisis Twig used to poke things

4. They made tools for a purpose Simple 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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 France They also made rafts and canoes for travelling

8. 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 jewellery They 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
