I have posted this on : -- https://www.academia.edu/40664984/The_Acheulean_hand_axe_a_toolmakers_perspective

It has important implications for a number of Wikipedia articles but I need advice from an experienced Wikipedia editor.

Abstract One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in palaeoanthropology surrounds the hundreds of thousands of carefully shaped stone tools that have been found all over the world, known as “hand axes” or macroliths.

Whatever their purpose, the design remained unchanged for at least two million years, making it by far the most successful design of all time.

Considerations of the design, material choice and distribution of these artefacts along with climate, diet and associated fossil remains provide clear evidence that the hand axe was not only critical to the survival of the human species and its precursors but was also instrumental in shaping many of the physiological and anatomical adaptations that so markedly differentiate us from all other primates, from our raised instep to the shape of our teeth and from the structure of our kidneys to our sweat glands.
