Hunting Would Have Been a Secondary Consideration in the Earliest Years of Hominid Evolution
The first stone tools were not hunting implements. They were weapons. More specifically, they were agricultural implements specifically used for pest control, directed against very large food competitor species as part of a hominid community's
larger strategy to survive the annual, predator infested, deadly dry season.
Hunting would have evolved gradually as an extension of pest control communal territorialism. In other words, pest control agriculture evolved first. Hunting using tools/implements would have followed. So, agriculture using pest control implements (
originally just sticks and stone wielded against herds of large mammal food competitors species) evolved first. Using these same implements hunting behaviors evolved/emerged gradually. So hunting was NOT the focus of the earliest stone tools.
Maintaining access to fresh food (mostly fruits and nuts) and fresh water through the depths of deadly (predator infested) monsoon generated, dry seasons was the main means of survival for the earliest hominid communities. Communal territorialism
was the main purpose of the earliest stone tools. Hunting would have been a secondary consideration.

What a steaming pile of utter nonsense from the delusionally insane
crackpot that refuses to read any books, including dictionaries, because
the contents threaten his delusions.
You got nothing!!!
So says the uneducated, unemployable and delusionally insane crackpot
with a multiple personality disorder that makes him post everything
twice and who refuses to read any books, including dictionaries, because
the content of books threaten his delusions.
