For a thousands of years there has been six different generation of humans or hominid. These past thousands of years there tools have made a lot of progress. It started from a sharpened rock to a stick.

Evolution Investigation

I'm going to contrast the tools and tool use by early hominids up to Homo sapiens.

1. Australopithecus Afarensis

Australopithecus Afarensis were the first hominid on Earth. They were not smart enough to make sophisticated tools. They would make tools out of bones that they would find around. So they would usually use the simplest and basic tools.

2. Homo Habilis

Homo Habilis were the second hominid on Earth. That would make there stone tools for chopping, scraping, and cutting, and that is how they hunted there food, using sharpened rocks and sticks. Hominids used a knife edge, a side scraper, hammer, and a scraper as tools to survive

3. Homo Erectus

Homo Erectus were the third hominid on Earth. They would make weapons including stone axes and knives. They say that they where the first true hunters. They could control fire and could migrate out of Africa.

4.Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis

They were the fourth hominid on Earth. They would make stone tools bone needles, and bone fish hooks. This is when they could finally sew clothes. The type of clothes were animal skin and the thread were made from other parts of the animals.

5.Homo Sapiens Cro- magnon

This is the fifth one on Earth. They were very skilled tool makers. Weapons or tools were stone axes, knives, spears, harpoons, wooden bows, and sharp stone tipped arrows. They would make rafts so they could sail across the oceans.

6. Modern humans

We are so advance in tool. It is the tools that we have today.

Conclusion

As you can see from the information that I have provided for you there is only one difference. The difference is that the tools got better over time.

Timeline of the tolls used.

This is an idea on what it would look like.
