What did people use 5000 years ago?

Around 5000 years ago, people primarily used tools made from stone, wood, and bone for hunting, farming, and crafting. They cultivated crops like wheat and barley and domesticated animals such as sheep and goats. Pottery for storage and cooking became common, and early written forms of communication, like cuneiform in Mesopotamia, began to emerge. Societies were forming around rivers, leading to the development of early civilizations.
