Paleoindian culture

The Paleoindian culture refers to the earliest human groups in North America, dating back around 12,000 to 8,000 years ago, shortly after the last Ice Age. These people were primarily hunters and gatherers, relying on sophisticated stone tools and projectile points to hunt large game like mammoths, mastodons, and bison. They are known for their mobile lifestyle, following animal migrations and using methods like hunting and scavenging. Their cultural practices laid the foundation for later Native American cultures, showcasing early human adaptation and ingenuity in a changing environment.
