Their weapons didn't advance over the course of their entire history except (possibly) briefly after the encounters with Cro-Magnons. They used only a small fraction of fractions of the variety of tools and other artifacts that Cro-Magnons did. To counter their relative lack of tool sophistication, they had a far more robust, strong build.
I'd have thought that was the other way around -- they required
fewer tools because thet we more robust and stronger.
Like, a tiger doesn't need a rifle to hunt game, so why would it
develop one?
