Tools and Language

Why were tool-making and language important for the development of human culture?
These things were important because they allowed us to develop further and interact with each other in a deeper level. We were able to communicate basic feelings with out real language but developing language allowed us to further communicate our feeling and allowed us to explain in more detail how to do something, how are day was, etc. Having language also helped us pass down information to generation. For example tools that were made in a particular way were passed down with language. This leads us to tool making and how it helped the development of human culture. Tools allowed us to hunt animals which then led to people talking about the hunt or drawing it. Tools allowed us to develop other things like cutlery, or a knife with a blade they allowed us to hunt animals bigger than us or faster. Tools also helped us develop things pottery to maybe store the tools. There are so many thing that can come out of a single idea and that is what happened with early humans.
