Though for origin of species the Chinese and Tibetan forms need to be looked at...and other regions where parallel but unrelated development in aboriginal form needs to be studied...
Do you mean what was the origin of the Hatchet? This is a huge subject and would fill volumes... When did a stone with a hole in it fitted with a piece of wood become an Axe / Hatchet... What was the origin of the North American Indian Hatchet / The Indian axe/ other aboriginal forms...African types???... Its a big subject.
