Question

Oldest tool maker is

• A. African man
• B. Java man
• C. Proconsul
• D. China man

Answer 1

The correct option is B Java man

Java man and Peking man are examples of Homo erectus. First tools were made by Homo habilis. These were primitive tools like chipped stones etc. However, after Homo habilis, Homo erectus came on the scene with a larger brain and greater intelligence. The increased intelligence associated with an increased brain size enabled these early humans to make more advanced stone tools, known as Acheulean tools, including the hand axes.

So, the correct answer is 'Java man'
