  By far the greatest part of human history has been taken up by peoples whose principal tool was the stone hand-axe. But until now, we knew very little about what the hand-axes were actually used for. Taking an original approach - in learning to make the tools themselves and trying them out - the authors made some astonishing discoveries about the technical abilities of our primitive ancestors. And their experiments provided new insights into theories of brain evolution and human development.
