    Between 2.6 million and 200,000 years ago, early humans developed stone tools like flakes and handaxes to help with hunting and butchering animals for food. Around 400,000-200,000 years ago, innovation in stone tool technology began to accelerate as blades and tools made from new materials like bone, antler, and ivory emerged and were crafted for purposes like hunting and agriculture.

    Looking back at Human Biocultural

    And Social Evolution

    The earliest stone tool making developed by at least 2.6


    million years ago. The oldest stone tools were known as sharp
    stone flakes that were struck from the cores and offer useful
    cutting edges. These early tools were most likely used to help
    humans butcher animals and hunt for food. Between about
    400,000 and 200,000 years ago, the pace of innovation in stone
    technology began to accelerate very slightly. By the beginning
    of this time, handaxes were made with exquisite craftsmanship.
    Blade tools made of stone were created, but the emphasis
    shifted away from stone to artefacts made from materials such
    as bone, antler and ivory. Spears and other tools were crafted for hunting and agricultual purposes.
