Explain how evidence from fossil and stone tools supports current ideas about human evolution
Fossils show how much, or how little, organisms have changed over time. One of the problems with the fossil record is that it contains gaps.
Recall how stone tools are dated from the environment
They are dated from oldest to newest and to be made from something that is much older than the time during what it was made
Describe how stone tools created by human like species have developed over time
They have become easier to complex
Describe the fossil evidence for human like species that live at 4.4, 3.2 and 1.6 million years ago
