Flints and tools

Flints are types of hard, brittle stone, often used by early humans to make tools because of their ability to be chipped into sharp edges. Tools made from flint include arrowheads, knives, or scrapers, which served for cutting, hunting, and other tasks. The process involves carefully striking the flint to produce a sharp, durable edge. Flint tools were essential for survival and development, enabling early humans to prepare food, craft items, and defend themselves, representing an important step in technological advancement.
