Lesson 1-2  Finding fossil man

But the firstpeople who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if theyhad any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends tohelp them to find out where the first ‘modern men’ came from.

Fortunately,however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this iseasier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, butthese have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago haveremained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared withouttrace.
