Acheulean tools are approximately 1.4 million years old, and are full sized tools with one definite shape. They are symmetrical on both sides to make for easy cutting!

Mousterian Tools

Mousterian tools are about 200, 000 years old. They were hand held rocks that had been rounded to better fit the hand, with serrated sides for cutting!

Most modern man uses technology!

Great source for Hominid tools!

Tools Then....

Curtis373 — 2014-05-28 18:11:31 UTC

Early tools were sharpened rocks, used for crushing and scraping different items. As time progressed, the tools began to slowly gain shape, and also began to have cutting, and serrated edges on them.

Tools Now...

Modern man do to such amazing technology, now has an array of tools at his disposal, for almost any job in wich a tool would be needed, anything as simple as a small hammer, to anything as complex as a computer guided plasma cutter.

Curtis Anderson P.4 Comparing early man tools, to modern tools!

Tool use can be traced back to Hominids, 2.4 million years old. And using tools is what seperates us as the homo sapien species from the rest of the pack. However we haven't always had laser guided beams for cutting, or even screwdrivers. The oldest handy men used things as simple as rocks to aid them in survival! It is truly amazing to see how tools have evolved with man, and to imagine where they may continue to evolve to!
