Looking for very long-term graphs of human/proto-human technological
progress--ideally something beginning with Oldowan tools and running

increasing rate of progress.
Can anyone point me to such beasties? The more, the merrier.
Thanks for any help

Maybe this could help you, but not so much; it is the one I have in a hurry.
It is from "Le geste et le parole", by Andre Leroi-Gourhan.
I recommend reading his books, about human industries from Australantropos (4
MYA) to Homo Post Sapiens
