      • Cro-Magnons were among the most innovative of Stone Age tool makers. They produced a range of stone tools (Mode 4 technology), notably blades (Aurignacian culture), tanged tools (Gravettian culture), bifacial arrow and spear points (Solutrean culture), and Mode 5 technology geometric microliths (Magdalenian culture).
  1. It is still hard to say precisely where Cro-Magnons belong in recent human evolution, but they had a culture that produced a variety of sophisticated tools such as retouched blades, end scrapers, “nosedscrapers, the chisel-like tool known as a burin, and fine bone tools (see Aurignacian culture).

The early humans of 2 million years ago did not have fire-making skills, so they waited until they found something burning from a natural cause to get fire. A nightly...

    Archaeologists have found Stone Age tools 25,000-50,000 year-old all over the world. The most common are daggers and spear points for hunting, hand axes and choppers for cutting up meat and scrapers for cleaning animal hides. Other tools were used to dig roots, peel bark and remove the skins of animals. Later, splinters of bones were used as needle...
