With dinosaurs wandering freely - eating all the good fruit, terrorizing smaller mammals and eloping with many an unsuspecting daughter, Prehistoric Man learned quickly that without some form of protection he would be forever doomed to subservience under the various dominant reptilian species. Hence, Man became a Maker of Tools.

abstract	With dinosaurs wandering freely - eating all the good fruit, terrorizing smaller mammals and eloping with many an unsuspecting daughter, Prehistoric Man learned quickly that without some form of protection he would be forever doomed to subservience under the various dominant reptilian species. Hence, Man became a Maker of Tools. Seeing trees as an abundant material for the crude construction of weaponry, Man began utilizing thick shards of wood splintered from the trunks of trees. Not having the complex vocabulary of the modern day, he dubbed this most basic of implements simply "shiv". Although now constructed primarily of plastic or steel, use of this weapon can still be observed today in many of the civilized world's correctional facilities. Prehistoric Man was understandably rather impressed to discover that, upon plunging his shiv into the neck of the dinosaur his only daughter had so brazenly married, the offending reptilian would cease its respiratory practices, succumb to gravitational forces and promptly expire. The creature was then immediately promoted from "that bastard cock-smoking son in law of mine" to "lunch". As the years passed, Man became prolific in the industry of Timber Shivering. A rudimentary trade, this involved felling a tree and then bashing it with a large rock. The wood cracked and splintered, the irregular and sharp pieces collected. These were then used as shivs to aid in the practices of self defense, hunting and resolving marital disputes.
