How to Make Stone Tools in a Survival Situation | Basic Instincts | WIRED

If you're in the wilderness and have nothing, perhaps the most important thing you need is a sharp, durable edge. Humans are among the weakest species on the planet and tools are what help us compensate for that lack of strength. Dr. Bill Schindler, a professor of archeology and anthropology at Washington College, explains how to construct some primitive stone tools that could be useful in a survival situation.

People really underestimate well, people. Some hiker killed a cougar with his bare hands when it was attacking him as he was hiking.

[@lucheng1945]

The thing is, people don't usually do that. The hiker was probably one of theose people who experienced hysterical strength. (Other examples include parents lifting cars to save children, etc) The sudden burst of adrenaline in response to life-or-death situations can give people super strength or endurance. However, these cases are the Exception. Normal, calm, everyday people cannot lift vehicles or fight wild animals like that, which is why is is not counted among our abilities :)

It's also neat that when you get into the neolithic, you see less flaked stone tools and more ground ones. If it needs to be really sharp or can be disposable, it's more likely to knapped or flaked, (fine cutting tools, projectile points, etc) but tools that have to last, rely on structural strength, and don't need to be razor sharp (primarily axes, adzes, etc) were often ground into shape. It was far more time consuming that chipping it out, but gave a much sturdier piece of hardware.

Crazy that 3.5 million years ago they figured out using rock slices but it took another million and a half years to make designed tools out of that
