What do the artifacts tell us about the lives of early humans?

The artifacts tell us that the early humans had more knowledge than we might think.  The cave paintings on the roof tell us about how they lived, hunted and other stories about their life. In the paintings you can see that the early humans used different tools to hunt or make a fire or to make the food. This means that they can use tools to help them just like our tools help us. I got interested by the spear thrower and how they used it.



I think that the spear thrower belonged to someone that might be a leader or someone else that the clan needed. I think that the tools they used for the cave paintings must be hard to paint with, don't you think? What tools did they have? Did they have tools for getting wood, did they have tools to get water to their clan or family?


The tools that the early humans used needed to be made of someone, right? The clan had properly two or five people doing the tools for the clan.They must have made the tools by hand because they did not have any machines in that time. We have  machines that do tools for us right now but they did not. I think it might have taken along time for the people making the tools.
