Prehistoric Oil Usage

Prehistoric oil usage refers to the early applications of natural oils by ancient humans. Before the advent of modern technology, people used oil from sources like animal fat and plant materials for various purposes. They utilized these oils for lighting lamps, as waterproofing agents, and in ritual practices. Evidence of oil and bitumen usage has been found in archaeological sites, where it was used in construction and as a binding agent in tools. This early understanding of oil's properties laid the groundwork for its later use in more complex applications as civilization progressed.
