A long, long time ago, before there were cities, schools, or cars, people lived in a wild, open world.

They did not have houses like we do now. They did not have stores, phones, or lights.

Fire also helped them cook food.

When food was cooked, it was softer and easier to eat,

which gave them more strength to explore and learn new things.

Without any shops to buy things, early humans had to make all of their own tools. They looked at hard stones and learned

how to shape them into sharp edges. They made simple knives to cut meat and wood. They also
