Homo habilis is considered the first inventor in humanity because he left the first traces of real tools. By striking a pebble against a very hard rock, he obtained a sharp- edged tool we call a chopper, as well as flakes that were like knives. These allowed him to cut up carcasses, open. nuts and break bones to extract the highly nourishing marrow inside.
