Définition

  • Human activities with objects over the past 2.5 million years have had a significant impact on human cognitive, linguistic, and social configurations. Although other animals, including mammals and birds, employ simple tools to achieve certain tasks (such as using sticks to extract termites from mounds), no other animal makes composite objects or objects that are creatively abstracted from natural forms to produce completely invented shapes and designs.
