Ancient tools reveal how early humans thrived in changing environments.
The article discusses how ancient people in the Three Gorges region of China used different tools to adapt to their environment during the Neolithic Age. They learned to use stones for woodworking and developed new tools for hunting and fishing. The discovery of fishing tools and farming implements shows how they evolved their techniques over time. The decline of farming tools in the late Neolithic Age was due to floods and changes in hunting preferences. Overall, the research highlights how our ancestors in this region used tools to interact with nature and improve their way of life.
