So if early man accidentally found out that rubbing things together create heat which then results in fire >>
You also have to have early man's children watch him do it. So it could be carried on to the next generations.
It probably started when he idly banged a flint stone on a rock over dry leaves or twigs. When he saw that the smoke caused his kids to cough and tried to stamp it out with his bare feet, he and his kids discovered that fire burned. Later on when he banged them together again, the flint stone shattered, left a sharp edge, his kids discovered that the sharp edge cut their dad's finger, and the first tool was born.
IMO. All tools and weapons were accidentally discovered by curiousity and accident back then because there was nothing to learn from.
