Phyllite is between slate and schist in the spectrum of metamorphic rocks. Discover more about its properties and characteristics.
In the beginning, there was design. Before any other human discipline, even before the dawn of mankind its self, design was a practice passed down from generation to generation of early humans. Today, everything that has been designed–space ships, buildings, pyramids, weapons, clothing , artwork, everything–can be traced back to a single designed object. The first designed object: the Acheulean hand
As we all know the word TECHNOLOGY refers to the ability of Human Beings to make things that sustain them and give them some control over their environment. These played a major role in human development from early times. The technology which is available during the beginning of human understanding and development is consisted primarily of the ability to make tools. By creating such tools, humans coped up easily in their environment and also a means of survival. The first tools which is discovered during the development were made by grinding two stones together to make a sharp edge on one of them. Flint, which is a very hard stone was used by early people to make tools. Hand Axes of different kinds made by chipping away flakes to make a pointed tool with one or more cutting edges were the most common. Eventually axes were set into wooden handles, making them easier to use. By attaching wooden poles to spear points and hardening the tips in fire, humans created spears that gave them the ability to hunt and kill large animals. Over a very long period of time, tool technology evolved. Wherein the movement toward even smaller stone points and blades. Microliths were tiny stone blades that could be mounted in wooden or bone handles. Damage blades could then be required by replacing a new one, prolonging the life of the tool itself. Bones and antlers were also used for making a great variety of tools. Bones could be also used ti make harpoons in catching fish. Near the end of the Paleolithic Period, there is an evidence of even more refining tools, especially bone needles. Needles formed an animal bones could be used for making nets and baskets and even sewing hides together for clothing. The first tools used served a variety of purposes. Humans used stone weapons to kill animals and butcher their meat. Other sharped edged tools were used for cutting plants, digging up roots from the soil, and cutting branches for building simple shelters. Scraping tools were also used to clean animal hides for clothing and shelter.

As the early Hominids moved from the tropics into colder regions, they needed to adjust to new often harsh regions conditions(see previous video about it-Survival During the Stone Age). Perhaps the most important to their to their ability is to adapt the use of fire. The systematic use of fire made it possible to provide a source of both light and heat within the cave to the structure which they live. The development of tools and the use of fire are the two important technological innovations/discovery during the Paleolithic period, reminds us how crucial the ability to adapt was to human survival. The most recent Ice Age began about 100,000 B.C. and reached it's coldest period between 20,000 and 10,000 B.C. Sheets of Thick Ice covered large parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. Early Hominids experienced natural fires caused by lightning and learned the benefits of them. It was the Homo Erectus during these times who first to learn the use of Fire. Archeologists have discovered the piled remains of ashes in caves that prove that Paleolithic people used fire systematically as long ago as 500,000 years. As per discovered in the Homo Erectus Site at Choukoutien, in Northern China. Choukoutien cave entrance in Northern China During these times Archeologists have discovered hearths, ashes, charcoal, and charred bones. All of these were about 400,000 years old. The said cave is located/faced northeast, it would have been a dark place without the use of fire. Fire as a source of light inside the cave Fire gave warmth and undoubtedly fostered a sense of community for the groups of people gathered around it. Fire was also created for protection of early humans to scare wild animals away. They also use fire to cook food, wherein they have discovered that food cooked by fire is easy to chew, and it is better in tasting than eating raw foods. The creation of fire using two woods in the form of friction. Scholars believe that the discovery of fire which is for starting of fires occurred independently throughout the world. Archeologists lack of evidence on how early peoples started fires. Another form of creation of fire through using stones.(Friction) They have been able to examine the methods used by ancient people. On the basis archeologists assume that the earliest methods for starting fires were probably based on friction, such as rubbing two pieces of wood together. Dry Grass and leaves could be added as the wood began to smoke(see third illustration above). Eventually, paleolithic peoples devised sturdy, drill like wooden devices to start fires. Other early humans discovered that a certain stone which is called Iron Pyrites, when struck against a hard rock, gave off a spark that could also create fire. Iron Pyrites Paleolithic peoples used their technological innovations such as making tools and the use of fire to change their physical environment. By working together, they found a way to survive. In this case obviously Paleolithic peoples played a crucial role in human history. _____________________________________________________________ DONATE TO ANCIENT HISTORY---

You can find out a lot about an arrowhead you have found, if you know what to look for. Here are some tips.
The ability to make a Lower Paleolithic hand axe depends on complex cognitive control by the prefrontal cortex, including the 'central executive' function of working memory, a new study finds. The results knock another chip off theories that Stone Age hand axes are simple tools that don't involve higher-order executive function of the brain.
The history of human evolution has been rewritten after scientists discovered that Europe was the birthplace of mankind, not Africa.
