Abstract
The coevolution of man's neural structures and his tool
traditions has been a constant point of investigation since the
time of Charles Darwin. Author looked at evidence
demonstrating this positive correlation and readdress this point
of study with some new evidence from archaeological sites in
Africa that have yielded both hominid crania and tools. He also looked at the possibility of hand
preference as early as the australopithecines and early members
of the species Homo habilis, who some feel is human earliest
ancestor, as opposed to Australopithecus africanus.
