Tools are important because they need to kill animals with their tools. They need tools to cook the meat. They also need tools so they could cut their meat. They also need cut the fur from animals so they could use it for clothes. I think that the clovis point is the most important because they would need to use it for killing mammoths and megafauna. I think they would eat their and use their fur and that is important.

Tools were important because they would cut the scrapes that the animals left them. The needed fur to go from Africa to North America. They used End Scrapers to cut the hide from the animal. They also used a bone point to launch at the animal during hunting. These tools were very important to the early man.

I learned that they have to make tools from what they find in the ground. I also learned that they had to be careful from the wild animals. They also had to migrate to get more food to feed the family. They had to make tools to kill the animals that they want to eat. Every person had a job to get the food. When they lived in the past it was harder.

Spears were helpful because they can through the spear from far distances.

I think early man mad it through life with just fire and their tools. They probably made it through life better than me. The early man had homemade tools and we have new tools. The tools we have everyone uses for different purposes. We use a gun to protect ourselves and kill bad guys. We use a hammer to connect wood and to hang stuff into the wall.

Tools were important to early man because they were short on food so they used tools to hunt for food. They got a surplus on food when they stared using food. Now these days eveyone who hunts they use tools now. The tool I think was most useful was the arrowhead. It was important because they could throw it from a long ways away. The tool was very sharp at the end so it killed the animal when it hit it.
