For hundreds of the thousands of years, people living there made and used large stone-cutting tools called handaxes, left. At right are more sophisticated tools, found in the same area, which were carefully crafted and more specialized than the large, all-purpose handaxes. (Smithsonian - Human Origins Program via AP)
