We know there were several other now extinct humanoid species we are closely related to, it's really not surprising they could use tools and I'd assume they could probably talk as well. Neanderthals survived for hundredes of thousands of years in then austere Europe, I doubt they could have done that without at least primitive tools.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
