I present a critical review of the evidence on bone tools from Lower and Middle Paleolithic in Europe, and also on the so-called “less elaborated” tools from Upper Paleolithic and recent Prehistory. Such review and its results produce a number of relevant considerations to explain the appearance of the “bone industry” in Europe, in the beginnings of Upper Paleolithic. It also permits to suggest some hypotheses about the possible reasons behind this occurrence.
