Exciting insights into the world of Stone Age tool makers

When you think of the Stone Age, you might picture mammoth-sized animals, rock paintings, and crude flint knives. In reality, learning how to make tools was already part of everyday life for children. Even before they could hunt or start fires, young Stone Age people practiced with softer types of stone and pieces of wood. Through repeated chipping and filing, a simple scraper or knife was created, which could be used to process animal hides.

In the case of these two children, you can see how important coordination and concentration were. A slight slip of the hand could render the blade useless. For generations, there were established rituals: older villagers helped the younger ones master the proper way of striking the edges. Thus, they received knowledge from their parents or grandparents – long before schools existed.

Stone tools were among the first technological achievements of mankind. They enabled the dismembering of game, the gathering of plants, and the creation of additional tools from bone and antler. Color traces on rock walls show us that even in this early phase, ochre or ochre pigments played a role.
