Late Upper Palaeolithic

The Late Upper Paleolithic is a period around 40,000 to 10,000 years ago when humans developed advanced tools, increased artistic expression, and more complex behaviors. During this time, people made finer and more specialized tools from stone, bone, and antler, and created art such as carvings and ornaments. It marked a significant shift toward modern human behaviors, including broader use of the environment and improved hunting techniques. This period is seen as a bridge between early humans and the later development of agriculture and settled societies.
