Middle Paleolithic Era

The Middle Paleolithic Era, occurring roughly 300,000 to 30,000 years ago, is a key period in human prehistory. It is marked by the development of sophisticated stone tools, particularly the Levallois technique, which allowed early humans, including Neanderthals and early modern humans, to create sharper, more effective implements. This era also saw advancements in culture and social structures, with evidence of early forms of art, burial rituals, and communal living. It highlights a significant phase in human evolution, showcasing the growing intelligence and adaptability of our ancestors in diverse environments.
