Tools were made to last and most likely made by professionals.

The Paleolithic are much more simple, one time use tools that were made to fit a lot of tasks. These tools were likely made by almost every individual since they are so abundant and so basic.

The differences between the two stone tool types represent the differences between the two eras, in my mind. One era, the Paleolithic, was much more nomadic. People moved a lot. They didn’t have time to make complicated stone tools to lug around. Instead they made quick and easy tools to say cut up some meat.

The Neolithic stone tools represent a different way of living. During this time people were more sedentary. With agriculture came time for leisure, divisions of labor and skill specialties. Special classes of people had to make the tools and they were damn good at it too. Look at the craftsmanship in the Neolithic stone tools.

Ultimately what I am getting at is the the Neolithic represents one of the most important transition periods during human evolution.

I see the smoothness is one difference, is there more and what is significant about that? I am curious. Thanks.
