1. draw a quick sketch of a tool or cave painting that early humans might have created. label its purpose.

Explanation:

Early humans transitioning to farming faced new challenges like crop - failure risks and hard labor. But it also brought benefits such as a more stable food supply and the ability to settle in one place. For the tool sketch, early humans made stone - hand axes for hunting and butchering.
