Roy's list is too long. The Great Leap Forward did not include "outrigger canoes", for example. The Paleolithic toolkit immediately after the Great Leap Forward included most of the items on Roy's first list and very few of the items on his second list.

Their tool kit was extensive: knives, axes, scrapers, hammers, awls, needles, spears, harpoons, clubs, shields, armour, blowguns, and bows and arrows.
They also made kayaks, snow-houses and outrigger canoes and knew poisons such as hydrocyanic acid, curare, snake venom, hemlock, and alkaloids. They also used all the means which we use to preserve food: freezing, drying, sealing (in clay or bees wax).
