─Technology is the violent nature of our species

which would give me the possibility to cover the different manifestations of
violence as a detonator of technology, although also the psychoactive
substances are fundamental, since they stimulated the curiosity of the "most
developed animal" in the forms of intelligence on earth. I believe, then, that

Man used flint or silica to make the first weapons and tools in the
history of mankind (Paleolithic era), this was probably due to the
abundance of these rocks in nature. And because the hominids discovered

civilization as this rock was used for the generation of fire sparks. Obsidian
was also carved in prehistoric times before man used metal weapons, tools
and utensils. Rocks that appear as volcanic glass were preferred by
hominids that, with practice and skill, learned to obtain elongated flakes as
