Paleolithic History
The Paleolithic Era, also known as the Old Stone Age, spans from about 2.5 million years ago to around 10,000 BCE. It marks the beginning of human history, characterized by the use of simple stone tools, a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and small, nomadic groups. During this time, early humans developed language, art, and social structures. They relied on natural environments for food and shelter, showcasing adaptability to diverse climates. The end of the Paleolithic period saw the onset of the Neolithic Revolution, where agriculture began to transform human societies, leading into settled communities and more complex civilizations.
