Document Summary

How do we think: what do we think about getting what we want, understanding the way things work. 2. 4 million years ago, oldowan tools: fortuitous and ad hoc simple tools: (cid:862)as is(cid:863) fo(cid:396) pou(cid:374)di(cid:374)g, (cid:271)ut also the (cid:373)a(cid:374)ufa(cid:272)tu(cid:396)e of sto(cid:374)e tools - sharp flakes of rocks that can hold an edge. Found at sites of butchered animal bones: approx. 1. 8 million years ago (homo erectus), acheulean bi-faced tools: this required careful selection of starting material, considerable bimanual dexterity and some sense of (cid:396)e(cid:272)u(cid:396)sio(cid:374) ie (cid:862)tools that (cid:373)ake tools(cid:863), approx. 200,000 years ago (homo sapiens), levallios tools show a vocabulary of tools and processes gives variation. Levallios tools require a temporal structuring of behaviour and the creation of intermediate solution prior to the final solution. It is k(cid:374)o(cid:449)(cid:374) that b(cid:396)o(cid:272)a"s a(cid:396)ea (cid:1008)(cid:1008) a(cid:374)d (cid:1008)(cid:1009) are language areas: there is a close link between manual dexterity and the manual way that we express language.
