Tools helped Stone Age people improve their lives by allowing them to do tasks more efficiently like digging, hunting, and farming. They made tools by shaping wood handles and attaching sharp stone blades using fibers and glue. Tools also helped groups defend themselves better. Farming further improved lives by providing a stable food source so people no longer had to constantly search for food and could settle in one place. Art from cave paintings provides insights into the animals, rituals, and environment during the Stone Age that help humans understand life at that time.

hadn't been created we might not be where we are today
