Well no one knows for certain, as it depends exactly when "human kind" evolved.

I would have probably been a tool which provided some kind of assistance in order to perform a task or offer protection:

Some of the top priorities would have been:

  • Sharpened stone implements such as knife blades for skinning animal's, or sharpening sticks. Arrow and spear tips came much later.
  • Clothing and foot protection
  • Medicinal items
  • Shelter related items

Bearing this in mind and if you subscribe to the evolutionary route from chimp/ monkey to man recent studies into animal behaviour have shown that chimps do in fact use basic tools to accomplish tasks more easily (stones for smashing, sticks for picking).
