Tool making and Language

Tool making and language was a great thing in early humans. They needed tools for a lot of stuff. First for all food, water and shelter.Homo habilis made basic tools and also used them. They made tools special for digging. They used tools 800,000 years before than previously realized. The tool technology of Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis were same. Neanderthal made sophisticated(advanced) tools. They could get food with this tools because it made hunting easier because they could throw them. It made easy to get water because they could stop the river and transfer the water by that. It helped a lot for them to make a shelter(a house) because they could cut trees or other materials that can be used to make a shelter and that protected them from the bad weather.
Language helped the early humans to communicate. That helped them because they needed to have some conversations, to migrate, tell what they will do, give directions and tell them if they are going some where. Language would also help them to help each other fighting and hunting their food.

Who were hobbits?

The Hobbits.Correct name Homo florensis is a hominid that is about 38,000 to 18,000 old or either 12,00 years old. But scientists don't know for sure.Hobbits have a small brain that is nearly the size of a modern chimpanzee. The thing that confuses scientists is the fact that anatomically the Hobbit has a small brain but tools and evidence of intelligence have been found where the paleontologists.in 2003, excavated a cave called Liang Bua on the Island of Flores, Indonesia. There were stone tools at the site that dates back to 94,000 years ago.Fossils of eight individuals have been discovered. The most compete hobbit was a female that stead three feet six inches tall.
