Earliest Tools Known: CAVE DWELLERS are people who occupy caves or dwell beneath cliff overhangs. Archaeologists who have studied tools, food debris, and human bones in such sites have ascertained that men have occupied caves since earliest times.
Earliest Examples. In Africa the earliest inhabited caves are Swartkrans and Sterkfontein in the Transvaal province of the Republic of South Africa. These date from the end of the lower Pleistocene time, about one million years ago. Here the bones of the fossil man Australopithecus and various stone tools he might have made have been found together with the fossilized bones of other animals. Some of the animal bones have been broken in such a way as to suggest that early man had learned to split them to extract the marrow.
HAND AX, one of the definitive stone implements associated with the Paleolithic culture (Old Stone Age). The earliest tools known are the crudely chipped pebble tools associated with the Oldowan stage of Africa and southern Europe, dating from a million or more years ago. Hand axes appear to be a direct development from these and are representative, therefore, of the first Paleolithic tool specializations.
Then looking at your plans, make sure there are some rative elements that link different areas to create visual iony. You could, for example, use the same carpet color ughout the house, or leave all doors as unpainted wood, i just a little careful planning, you will be able to achieve rmonious decorative scheme and a balance of moods styles for your own home.
The right tools for the job greatly simplify the task in hand and ensure the best possible results. Some tools are expensive, but you must weigh their cost against the savings you will make by not paying someone else to do the work for you. Always buy the best tools you can afford; good, well-cared-for tools will last, so think of them as an investment.
Sharp scissors, chisels, and knives give a clean cut and are safer to use than blunt ones. For general use, do not buy a prepackaged tool kit. These often include a number of tools you will never use. Be selective and choose tools according to the work you plan to do.
