Bone tools were developed around 2.5 million years ago, with evidence found in Africa. Flint tools started to be used around 2.5 million years ago as well, notably by Homo habilis. Spear throwers, also known as atlatls, were developed around 30,000 years ago and were used to increase the velocity and distance of thrown spears.
Bone and fllint tools, as well as spear throwers, were developed as early as the Upper Paleolithic period, around 40,000 years ago. These tools represented significant advancements in human technology and allowed for more efficient hunting and survival strategies.
Flint is commonly used to make arrowheads, spear points, and knives due to its hardness and ability to hold a sharp edge. It fractures in a predictable manner, making it easier for ancient craftsmen to shape into tools.

Technology can mean anything that is developed to undertake a task. With this in mind humans as far back of Neanderthal man have developed technology such as hammers, spears and even flint tools
Flint, obsidian, chert, and quartz are commonly used rocks for making spear points in prehistoric times due to their hardness and ability to be shaped into sharp points. These rocks were readily available and could be easily fashioned into tools for hunting and defense.

Flint tools were commonly used during the Old Stone Age, also known as the Paleolithic era. This period predates the New Stone Age, also called the Neolithic era, where more advanced tools and techniques were developed for agriculture and settlement.
Homo sapiens sapiens used a variety of tools made from stone, bone, and wood. Some of the commonly used tools included hand axes, knives, scrapers, and spear points, which were essential for hunting, preparing food, and making clothing. The development of these tools played a crucial role in the survival and advancement of early human populations.
