The dawn of man
What meaning did it create?
What ideas are behind this scene?

Lower angles used, shows importance and power.
Centre of attention, because he is smashing bones, shows he is dominant one/more evolved.
Centre ape has changed, acting telling us it's the first time he has smashed the bones, the idea of using tools for the first time.
Camera follows the bone upwards and then goes to a shot of space, puts millions of years of evolution in one cut, because the bone and the spaceship have the same shape (graphic match).
Evolution - idea we evolved from apes (ape - man)
The framing shows the dominant ape because he is in the centre. Uses close ups on that ape.
Black pole appears and when the apes touch it, it cuts to the bone smashing- could help them to evolve. Pole is black- mysterious, may come from space. Their destiny is going to space.
Black pole comes from space (alien technology), the apes touch it and they learn things, they evolve. This could mean their evolution is caused by something from aliens.
God could have sent the pole, as the sun shot, considering god is supposedly in the sky.
Unusual shots are usually major plot points. E.g. The sun shot.
