Homo sapiens were not the first creatures on earth to use tools. Earlier species of Homo, such as Neanderthals used tools several hundred thousand years before our species first entered the scene. There were other tool using hominid species that preceded them. Many animals use basic tools, and the fact that chimps use tools means it's very likely that our last shared ancestor used them too around 7 million years ago. Tool use may also have been seen before then in other animals.
Aside from conjecture, Cain is the first recorded individual who tilled the ground and would, of necessity, have contrived tools to effect ground preparation and harvesting processes.
Homo habilis and homo erectus both used tools. However, it's hard to be certain exactly when it all began because of the scarcity and randomness of fossilization.

The Homo habilis
YES
Homo Habilis was the first hominid to make tools, therefore scientists named it Homo Habilus, which means "handy man".
Homo habilis , which means 'handy man', was given in 1964 because this species was thought to represent the first stone-tool maker. Currently, the oldest stone tools are dated slightly older than the oldest evidence of the genus Homo.
idon't knowthey use technology (But you'd probably have a clue that they did if you recognized that Homo habilis means "handyman" in Latin.)H. habilis left behind flaked stone artifacts that indicate they were competent flint knappers. See link for the rest of this quoted paper.It was the first evidence of our modern genus and was named Homo habilis, which is Latin for "Able Man" (Homo=man; habilis=able). Homo habilis was named so because the artifacts found with the fossils were rudimentary stone tools that had been created from rocks.
they used many stone and bone made tools. they mainly used the hand axe and spear.
im thinking it is theHomo erectus that's what i put on my test anyhow
Homo habilis
The Homo habilis
Austrolopithecus were the first humans known to man and they did not use many tools at all because they were part of the hunter-gatherer group. Next came the Homo-Habilis, which means handi-man so they must have used some tools that gave them this name. After the came the Homo-Erectus, Homo-Sapiens, then us, the Homo-Sapiens Sapiens. After the Homo-Habilis started to use tools, they will have passed down the knowledge and structure of tools to the other species of humans.

Homo habilis ("Handy man"), one of our distant predecessors was so named because of his use of primitive tools. Habilis existed between 2.4 and 1.5 million years ago.

Australopithecus afarensis used stone tools, according to the California Academy of Sciences. Bones that are believed to be about 3.4 million years old show evidence that this hominin used stone tools to cut up meat.

Homo habilis was the earliest of these three hominids and perhaps the most ape-like of them, though it did not stop habilis from being the first known hominid to make and use stone tools. Homo erectus was their later descendant. Erectus was smarter, though their brains were still a little smaller than ours. Homo sapiens may be the cleverest of the trio, though we cannot undermine what habilis and erectus had accomplished-habilis discovered how to use and make stone tools, erectus spread across the world and learnt how to use and make fire. Note that the answer to this question is answered in terms of intellegence between the three species. However, the three species never interacted. Habilis died out around 1 million years ago. Erectus first appeared at around this time, but died out 70 thousand years ago. There is no known evidence of erectus and sapiens interacting.
They were known as the first sub human species to use rocks as tools and weapons. They were also known as handy man for their tool creations.
