Archaeologists found stone tools at two different sites.

AssemblageTools and features
AHand axes shaped on both sides
BSpecialised blades, points and scrapers, each made for a different task

Two interpretations were suggested:

  1. The makers of assemblage B had greater dexterity and ability to plan than the makers of assemblage A.
  2. The tools in assemblage B prove that their makers were a different human species from the makers of assemblage A.

Evaluate these interpretations. Which is better supported by the evidence? Explain your answer.
