Our Stone Age ancestors made a giant leap when they invented the stone axe somewhere between 250,000 and 1.2 million years ago. Someone at some point intuitively saw the value in attaching a sharp stone to the end of a stick, a process called ‘hafting’, and using leverage to increase power at the axe head.
This was a ground breaking tool that gave the user the ability to kill prey faster and easier than before, fight aggressors (or be a better aggressor), open nuts or seeds for food, chop wood for fire and shape wood in order to build better shelters.
The axe remains a commonly used tool across the globe today making it one of the oldest and most valuable inventions ever.
