Anthropologists have long put forth the defense

Anthropologists have long put forth the defense that apparatus making is one of the key practices that isolated our human predecessors from different primates. Another paper, in any case, contends that it was not device making that set hominins separated - it was the scaling down of instruments.

 

Similarly, as modest transistors changed media communications a couple of decades back, and researchers are presently tested to make them considerably littler, our Stone Age precursors wanted to make small devices. "It's a need that we've been perpetually looked with and driven by," says Justin Pargeter, an anthropologist at Emory University and lead creator of the paper. "Scaling down is what we do."
