Stone tools are implements made by shaping stones to create sharp edges. Early humans, such as those from the Paleolithic era, used these tools for various tasks, including cutting, scraping, and hunting. The development of stone tools marks a significant advancement in human technology and survival.
These tools can be classified into two main categories: flakes and cores. Flakes are small pieces struck from a larger stone, while cores are the original stones from which flakes are removed. The use of stone tools reflects the ingenuity and adaptability of early humans in their environments.
