Old Stone Age

The Old Stone Age, or Paleolithic period, is the era in human history that dates from about 2.5 million years ago to around 10,000 years ago. During this time, early humans primarily survived as hunter-gatherers, using simple stone tools for hunting animals, cutting plants, and making basic 생활품. They lived in small groups, were nomadic, and relied on their environment for food and shelter. This period marks the longest phase of human history and saw the development of basic social behaviors, early art like cave paintings, and significant biological evolution that led to modern humans.
