How was technology long ago?

Answer 1

The earliest technologies were developed by our prehuman ancestors, more than a million years ago. They were based on sticks, bone, and antler. The technologies for controlling fire were later also developed by our prehuman ancestors, and likely helped in the development of food preparation technologies that improved the diet enough to allow the growth of the large human brain leading to the evolution of modern humans. Technologies based on the way different types of stone fractured lead to the "stone age". Technologies based on melting and working the alloy bronze lead to the "bronze age". Technologies based on melting and working the metal iron lead to the "iron age".

Even chimpanzees have simple technologies based on sticks and rocks, the common ancestor between humans and chimpanzees was about 3 million years ago. So likely the ancestors of that common ancestors had developed technologies based on sticks.

Note: a technology is not just the tools but also the knowledge of how to make, use, and maintain such tools as well as the development of any required infrastructure to support said technology.
