Furthermore, in order to harvest more of these plant-based food sources, the use of ground-stone tools as well as other tools such as baskets and cordage made from plant fiber began to appear more frequently.

Human Culture Evolution:
This increased variety in their diets by eating from all levels of the food chain indicates the increased resourcefulness of humans in using tools, as well as the start of these groups settling down rather than being on the move.
