Moreover, what was invented in the Stone Age?
Beyond weapons and basic necessities, Stone Age people invented new technology for farming, particularly in the Neolithic Age when they became a more settled people. One of the most important inventions was irrigation canals, which helped them water and grow crops en masse.
Accordingly, what inventions did the first humans make during the Stone Age?
Paleolithic people were the first to create clothing, usually out of leather or linen, and even created needles with eyes for sewing. Most Paleolithic inventions and technologies were in the form of tools and weapons, like bows and arrows.
In the early Stone Age, people made simple hand-axes out of stones. They made hammers from bones or antlers and they sharpened sticks to use as hunting spears. Watch the video to see how these were made. Raksha Dave finds out how our ancient ancestors made tools and weapons from flint.
