What do the artifacts tell us about the lives of early humans?

Artifacts go back to millions of years ago when the first Hominids took steps on this earth. Artifacts tell us lots about what one needs to know about someone else. Artifacts tell us what someone liked doing. if someone was into hunting they might own a horse spera. If someone liked to craft you might find a pot. Artifacts are clues to the past. Early humans must have had lots of possessions which tells us what kinds of people they were. Early humans could have expressed themselves through some artifacts that would have told us about there lives. The earlier hominids would not have known how to do as much as the newer ones because as humans evolved the brains grew larger giving them more knowledge on everything.
Early Humans such as homo habilis probably didn't own as many artifacts as the newer neanderthals. Over time people would start making new tools and artifacts such as bows, necklaces, clothes and other discoveries. If I was back when early humans lived i would spend my day making tools, skinning animals or searching for small prey and from doing those jobs I would leave behind some equipment which would later be found as an artifact. Early hominids such as homo sapiens may have left behind cave paintings about animals telling us they hunted those animals. Artifacts tell us lots about early humans such as what gods they prayed to, what religion they were, what they ate and even whether or not they were man eaters.
