Middle Palaeolithic

The Middle Palaeolithic is a period in prehistoric human history that lasted from about 300,000 to 30,000 years ago. It is characterized by the emergence of Neanderthals in Europe and early modern humans. During this time, humans developed more sophisticated tools, often made of flint, and began to exhibit behaviors like hunting, gathering, and possibly even art and burial practices. This period marks significant advancements in human culture and technology and represents an important phase in the evolution of human societies before the arrival of the Upper Palaeolithic, which saw even greater developments.
