Description

The comic titled "A Short History of Tool Use" is divided into four panels.

Panel 1:

• A stick figure is using a small, jagged tool to hit or break a rock on the ground.

Panel 2:

• Another stick figure stands pulling on a large chain that is attached to a tall, pyramidal structure made of bricks. The chain is depicted prominently.

Panel 3:

• The same figures are now at the bottom, and the chain is less structured, appearing to zigzag significantly.

Panel 4:

• The final panel shows a circular shape created by the chain, with a stick figure pulling on it, showcasing how the form has evolved.

The overall theme illustrates the progression of tool use from simple stone tools to more complex chains and structures.
