This is awesome. I must showvthis to my 11y/o. This very last summer I was showing him how ancestors were making simple tools by this technique to kill his boredom, but couldn't figure out how to make nice edge, not knowing about using softer tool to control chipping. Thank you 👍☺

Good for you - your comment is 8 years old as of mine here, so your 11 year old is now 19. Hope you're both doing well - you sound like a cool parent. It's amazing to think of our very distant ancestors that _all of us_ very nearly 8 billion people now descended from, beginning to create this very basic technology, that eventually blossomed into the laptops and smartphones we're using to communicate on this site, right now, to the point we're on the cusp of landing humans on another planet, ~60 million miles away at its nearest point. Even long, long, _long_ before them, three billion or so years ago, what's called the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) lived - and from that very simple, single-celled organism, literally all life on Earth descended from, was nearly wiped out several times by asteroid impacts, shifts in climate, super volcano eruptions, etc., only to survive, evolve, and eventually lead to all of human civilization, billions of years later.

We make the tools...and the tools make us...humanity. We are approaching tool cube, making tools than make tools of their own and beyond. Great video , excellence demonstration and clear explanations.

Thanks for sharing. I've read that tool-making, speech/language and social cooperation and rules co-evolved together.

This is fascinating, but I wish you'd show how the tools actually work -- I understand from my reading that these knives are so sharp they can cut through meat and bone as though it were butter (even though I also know they tend not to hold the sharp edge for very long?)

Very informative. I'm amazed at how quick the manufacturing process is; always pictured it being much more labor intensive.

Sandstone just requires a different technique. Rather than knapped, sandstone grinds very well. If you make a basic corded pump flywheel spindle drill, and affix a round flat gritty piece of sandstone to the base of it, then a secondary crossbar+peg to rest upon your knees below your pump bar, you have a rotary grinder that will let you put an edge on a piece of sandstone fast with lower exertion, you just position and angle your sandstone being sharpened with your feet, angled against the outer edge of your spinning grindstone from your pump drill. It's not as great for the kind of surgical edge a good conchoidal fracture gives, but the ease of resharpening makes it excellent for heavier and more durable axe and hatchet blades. And after enough use your round grindstone itself can then double as an excellent circular saw.

It’s really fascinating. Depending on your area the variety of stones that can be used for flintknapping is extremely staggering. In my area it is quartzite and quartz that was used the majority of the time. However in some areas of the United States you can find exceptional cherts and flints in your back yard creek. However these materials are rare that’s why our ancestors were nomadic hunter gatherers they had to travel long distances to get the sources of tool stone and move to find game and forage. I appreciate what they did, carrying a 80 lbs bag on your back full of spalls and cores hiking up and down a mountain to get these stones to where you want to go is difficult and exhausting.

I love evolution!' This is an astonishing fact that the time course between a very early stone tool until attaching a piece of wood to it, to make something like modern hummer took as 2 million - 200.000 = about 1 million 800.000 years until our ancestries figure that out? 1 million 800.000 years! Just imagine this length of time....

@steveXracer You clearly do not know what the definition of a scientific theory is. A scientific theory is as close to 100% scientific fact as one can get in science. I"m not going to argue the theory of evolution with a creationist, because that's a battle that can't be won. A creationist is a creationist, and no amount of scientific theory is going to change their mind because their beliefs are their beliefs, and they are as entitled to them as I am to entitled to my own. However, you are mistaking a scientific hypothesis for scientific theory.. It is a common misunderstanding. To say that evolution is the belief that everything came from nothing, just shows a very shallow understanding of the theory.

l have quite a few uniface tools including points, knives, scrapers and butchering tools. Question is, is there a time frame in history when uniface tools were "phased out" and biface gained preference? It has crossed my mind, having found uniface and biface at the same sites, that maybe the uniface was used by a more secluded group of people until they came into contact with other, more advanced, technologies. I just have not found much info on this. Great vid and thank you.

4:16 would have been learned resharpening the tool. The knives we think of would have been ceremonial knives or points.

The best.

The idea is that you want to abrade your edges to better send flakes across the surface and get out of the cortical stage of reduction.

Some of my ancestors were still doing this a few hundred years ago.

archealogists find the sharp edges he cut out and say that these are the tools the people of the 21st century used to live 😂😂

Great information thanks so much for sharing.

I was watching a video of the hadzabe hunter-gatherers, and there it was pointed out that before they got access to metals, they used to knap a blade on a piece of flint, with which they carved pointy barbed heads for their arrows out of the wood shaft itself. Now I wonder if they might have used other simple tools to do things like chopping wood. Sadly there doesn't seem to be much info since 1- probably not every hadza guy knows what did theyr grandfathers used back when there weren't any steel knives around and 2- probably not that many people are interested in knowing that... So is time for deductions and suppositions. I wonder now, can you use a piece of wood as your soft hammer? Although in Africa hadzas might have access to elephant tusks, I'm not sure how "readily" accessible it was for them.

Nicely explained. Thank you

Humans today could enter the wilderness naked and die from exposure and/or starvation within a few days. A thousand years ago, doing the same thing, they would be warm, comfortable, and have a full stomach within a few hours.

You plop a sufficiently large group of humans down in a new environment and you’ll soon have a smaller group that has gained the ability to survive in that environment. It’s not down to individual smarts. It’s learning from mistakes, yours and others. The fewer people you start with, the fewer mistakes you can make and have the group survive. So the person or people living comfortable a thousand years ago had previous generations to thank for figuring out what to eat and what not to eat. I think of that Into The Wild Guy who died from eating wild potato seeds (poisonous) and then starving because he was so sick from the seeds. Some criticize him for going out into the wilderness without sufficient knowledge and experience, but I think his mistake was going alone, as a group of one. If he had made a couple thousand clones, he could have learned what was safe to eat and what was not by trial and error testing.
