All the hominins made tools A study of associations between stone tool evidence and fossil hominin remains shows that a wide range of species made stone artifacts.

We are part of a toolmaking and tool using family of primates. Many of our ancestors and relatives translated those abilities to the durable materials of stone and bone, starting more than 3 million years ago. Which species made them? Probably all.
