You're arguing that complexity makes a tool a tool, rather then the fact that it takes abstract thought to use something outside of yourself to do something.

Eventually he did that, but what did he do before he honed his tools?

That's just my belief. There is litle or no evidence to the contrary.
It only takes 1% of DNA code to make that difference. Do you have any idea how large our DNA code is? 1% is a LOT of information.
