No, the first hominids to create tools were actually the ancestors of both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. The earliest evidence of tool-making dates back to around 2.6 million years ago, attributed to the species Homo habilis. Neanderthals emerged much later, around 400,000 years ago, and also developed advanced tool-making techniques.
Neanderthals are known to have used tools and to have developed some form of language. They also demonstrated the ability to control fire and engage in hunting activities, indicating a level of intelligence and resourcefulness in their survival strategies. However, they did not leave behind as extensive a record as modern humans, so the full extent of their inventions and discoveries is still being researched.
One characteristic of hominids that did not exist before humans is the ability to create and use advanced tools. This skill of crafting and utilizing tools is a unique trait that distinguishes humans from other hominids.
Neanderthals created tools, such as simple stone tools for cutting and hunting. They also used fire for cooking and warmth, and they created art, such as cave paintings and decorative items.
Neanderthals used tools made of stone, bone, and antler. Their tools included hand axes, scrapers, and spear points, which they made through a process called knapping by striking stones together to create sharp edges. These tools were used for hunting, food preparation, and other daily tasks.

The first stone age tools were made by Neanderthals.
For cutting, scrapping, chopping, or sawing plants, animals, and wood.
No. Neanderthals came before them, and used tools also.
The Homo habilis
The first stone age tools were made by Neanderthals.
Neanderthals likely had a sense of community through shared activities such as hunting, gathering, and caring for each other. Evidence suggests they lived in social groups, with individuals cooperating and forming strong bonds to ensure survival. Communication through language and possibly rituals also played a role in fostering their community bonds.
hand axes, spears, and other tools
Yes, Neanderthals were known to use stone tools, such as handaxes and flakes, for various activities like butchering animals, woodworking, and cutting plants. They are considered to have had a sophisticated tool-making ability similar to early humans.
We have no finds of artwork ascribed to Neanderthals. Tools, yes.
Neanderthals made a variety of tools for such tasks as chopping and scraping. These tools were made from stone.
