Acheulean technology

Acheulean technology refers to a style of tool-making used by early humans around 1.76 million to 130,000 years ago. It is characterized by the creation of large, hand-used tools called handaxes, which are carefully shaped with a symmetrical, teardrop form. These tools were versatile and used for tasks like cutting, chopping, and scavenging. The Acheulean represents a significant advancement in early human cognition and craftsmanship, showing improved planning and skill compared to earlier stone tools. It marks a key step in human technological development during the Lower Paleolithic period.
