Although no hominid fossils were found at the Majuangou site, Potts and others said they assumed the toolmakers were Homo erectus, one of the more immediate ancestors to modern humans. The stone tools appeared to be used for hammering, chopping and scraping.

Until now, the first tool-maker was widely believed to be Homo habilis, based on a set of 21 fossilized hand bones found in Tanzania that date back 1.75 million years.
Java man and Peking man are examples of Homo erectus. First tools were made by Homo habilis.
These were primitive tools like chipped stones etc. However, after Homo habilis, Homo erectus came on the scene with a larger brain and greater intelligence. The increased intelligence associated with an increased brain size enabled these early humans to make more advanced stone tools, known as Acheulean tools, including the hand axeses.
