Are you sure you've provided the intended link? The paper is about the transition from Oldowan technology to the birth of the Acheulean Industry in Africa some 1.7 million year ago. And what is the relevance of your picture of a rock?I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who.

I just share this hand axe, (its a rock yes also a tool if you can't see it you may not hae the info about it) the document shows this type of tool, the material quartz used back then, the different tools used by oldowans then achulians etc, is a good document with lots of interesting info, also is the most accepted theory of our origins and the type and materials of tools used back then.

There is no such thing as “Oldowans” or “Acheuleans”. They weren’t people. They’re names we give to the style traditions of tool industries developed by ancient hominins and handed through the generations to be copied by and improved upon by the various branches of the hominin family tree at different times. Oldowan technology is found in much of Africa, South Asia, the Middle East and Europe… both as a result of people movement and technology diffusion. It’s emergence in Africa was probably the work of Australopithecus garhi, built upon by Homo habilis and Homo ergaster and then inherited by Homo erectus who became the pioneers (but not the only exponents) for its evolution into the Acheulean Industry. The same Acheulean technology was also copied by Homo neanderthalensis, from which the Mousterian Industry developed. You need to do a lot more background reading.
Your rock is not a hand axe or any other kind of tool. It’s jut a broken rock.

That's not a hand axe. It shows no signs of being manipulated by man. No pecking, grinding, or flaking. Intentionally created tools will show obvious signs of manipulation.

1. That is African technology, and although I am a Christian, and don't necessarily believe anything is that old, logic would tell me that by the time people came over to America, they would have learned how to make good, functional tools, not just rocks. Like Paleo Clovis for example.
2. There are many countless millions of rocks out there that could be used for something. Hand axe for example. But that does not make them so.
3. Like I said, please look up pictures of authentic American artifacts, and learn from them. I would advise visiting a Native American artifact show, or handling real artifacts for yourself somewhere. Once you see these things, and hold authentic things in your hand, you'll get a feel for them.
4. This is going to sound ridiculous, but watch a YouTube video on Flintknapping. As crazy as it sounds, it is a dandy way to learn how artifacts were made. There are videos on primitive tech, arrowhead making, axe head making, etc. It really is a great help in my opinion. When I took up flintknapping, it became clear what was artifact, and what was not, just because I knew how they were made."The education of a man is never completed until he dies." Robert E. Lee

Studies have shown postrockus would walk into an ancient symposium on elephants... And yell giraffee!!! Also known to direguard his adopted tribe, and not knowing who the leader is essentially causing banishment. Postrockus has been found in association of rudimentary pictures and expedient rocks. Dispersion is widespread and has been known to roam in packs.North Carolina
