Lower Paleolithic in Europe

The Lower Paleolithic is the earliest part of the Stone Age in Europe, lasting from about 2.6 million to around 300,000 years ago. During this period, early human ancestors, like Homo habilis and Homo erectus, developed basic stone tools for hunting and gathering. They lived in small groups, used fire, and began to migrate across Europe. This era marks important evolutionary advancements and the foundation of human culture, as it reflects early humans' adaptability and innovative use of resources in their environment.
