Paleolithic environment

The Paleolithic environment, also known as the Old Stone Age, was characterized by a largely natural landscape shaped by climate and geological processes. During this time, Earth experienced significant fluctuations between ice ages and warmer periods, affecting ecosystems and climate. These environments included forests, grasslands, and tundras, providing diverse habitats for early humans and animals. Vegetation and animal distributions changed with the climate, influencing where early humans lived and hunted. Overall, the Paleolithic environment was dynamic and continuously evolving, shaping the ways early humans adapted to survive and thrive in their surroundings.
