Homo habilis
The human species that may have been the first to use crude tools is Homo habilis. This species is known for its early use of stone tools, dating back approximately 2.8 million years ago. Homo habilis is considered one of the earliest members of the genus Homo.

where did archaeologists find what may have been the first tools used by humans

im thinking it is theHomo erectus that's what i put on my test anyhow
I think it may have been Margaret Mead
Difficult to pinpoint an exact first species - there may be morre than have already been discovered.
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.
Homo habilis had only basic tools, and they did not have purposely designed weapons. Their tools took the form of rocks chipped to make sharp edges and possibly sharpened sticks and bones. It is very hard to tell with certainty how these tools may have been used, and most studies focus on food gathering and processing. We do not know if these tools were used for fighting.

The first tools were most likely made of stone. Stone is an abundant natural material, which can be found almost anywhere on earth. It is very strong, but can be broken into sharp pieces. For example, you could use a piece of stone to skin an animal. There is also archeological evidence to support claims that early tools may have also been made of animal bone. Particularly those tools used by Australopithecines (often referred to as the missing link in human evolution), as evidence of both stone and bone tools have been located with these ancient human ancestor's remains.
The first hominid species to move out of Africa and extend across Europe and Asia, including Indonesia. They created and used tools from the Oldowan and Acheulean technology. It has also been suggested that Homo erectus was the first to use rafts to cross water, to function in hunter-gatherer societies, and possibly used fire (I say possibly because the Homo erectus site of Zhoukoudian has some debate about whether or not fire was used). Also, Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens are descendents of Homo erectus, so Homo erectus gave rise to our species.
