[@forestdwellerresearch6593]

I think one overlooked aspect of stone tools is reusing and repairing. There is no reason why...let's say a master Solutrean flintknapper would not reuse a Mousterian tool. It was still simpler than preparing a core and fabricating flakes and blades to make tools from...and they all had to be practical like that.

[@13lilsykos]

It's a practice we seem to have lost over the years, especially recently.

[@FacesintheStone]

Completely overlooked is the fact that stone was the media to store information. Just like we like to remember where we came from, the things that we did-Ancient people were no different. How do you think we got the way we are? Before paper, before books or written language- there was Stone 🗿

[@RASTAMMA88]

Good stuff bro. Appreciate the efforts

[@noobnaab4647]

As a modern bowhunter, baffles me how they would have like 10 arrows on there quiver, with diferent weights, low precision imo, and even so they was able to eat and kill stuff.... Amazing

[@sanjivjhangiani3243]

I believe that primitive people tend to trust in their ability to stalk and ambush their prey rather than in marksmanship. So, you might be able to take down a deer, for example, from a greater distance than these early hunters, but they would be able to get closer to the animal with their well-honed tracking skills.

[@noobnaab4647]

@@sanjivjhangiani3243 for sure my friend, they would be masters of the wind also.... You think that they could use some kind of bait? So many hunting goes around bait and feeders, you think its that old? Cheers! Many thanks on nice reply

[@oakstrong1]

Whenever I see arrow heads from the same dig, it seems to me that they are roughly the same size and shape, made out of the same stone - so my guess is that the arrows are roughly the same weight, or at least close enough for an experienced hunter to estimate how to use one to their best advantage. Either you learn to be very good or you die off from hunger and don't pass on your genes, while the successful one will have many mates. Obviously it's not just about shooting but tracking and stalking, knowing the habits and movements of a herd, maybe down to an individual prey. We live in a modern world, we don't have as much time to devote on studying on wild animals.

[@noobnaab4647]

@@oakstrong1 brother i have years of sitting with my butt on the ground looking with binos for the hillls hunting pigs, totally relate... You think early man would also use bait? Many thanks on nice reply, cheers!

[@eamonahern7495]

I've heard a theory that one of the reasons so many ancient stone tools have been found is because they were an instinctive behaviour like birds building nests. There were many tools made but not every one was used, at least not multiple times at first.

[@fightingasnail]

maybe they made them for fun? like we still paint even tho we dont need it to survive idk tho

[@eamonahern7495]

[@ellenzluticky6211]

Very Awesome, Thank you

[@SamBrownBaudot]

Thanks for the excellent summary. It's always a hard choice, knowing what to include when you're summarizing from 3 million years down to 10 minutes; I felt that the use of arsenical bronzes between pure copper and the development of tin bronze deserved a mention in passing. Around the 8:56 mark when you're describing the transition from smelted copper to tin bronze, I'd love to have heard a half sentence slipped in, something about how people noticed that natural deposits of copper mixed with arsenic were stronger than pure copper, and learned to achieve an even better bronze by deliberately mixing tin in place of arsenic. That step of noticing that in impure mix was superior to pure copper, and then deliberately imitating it to make something even better felt worth a couple seconds of the 10 minutes, to me.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

[@rachdarastrix5251]

Keep in mind most of the artifacts you will find from 0:00 to 2:08 is probably actually something that I have made. I haven't really been able to advance beyond this due to being born into a world where I am already out competed by a more advanced species, from which I got the computer I am using to post this comment. Although I do sometimes buy wire tape from them in order to attach my stone work to sticks. I also buy all my clothing from them because I am not yet advanced enough to make my own, and I also use an electric oven to make it into kelmed stone because I am not yet advanced enough to make fire.
