Hot or cold, wet or dry, underground or high up, humans have the flexibility to survive in all of those because we have a feedback loop between environment and tool-making. But you need the limbs to do toolmaking, and the capacity to move into niches where tools can be made.

The more I thought about it the more I'd actually say toolmaking would probably more accurate because you can have the best artist in the world but if you hand them badly made paint, badly made brushed and canvas the result will not be as good.

I appreciate the madness of the attempts we all make to "fix" this though. There's no right answer, just perhaps better means to thread the needle.
I'm deep in the toolmaking furnace about this on a few projects. Gonna lose my whole mind trying to better target broad meaning with narrow purpose.

A cleaner interaction.
One less click.
Better focus behavior.
A clearer failure state.
Good toolmaking includes work whose highest compliment is:
