prehistoric setting

A prehistoric setting refers to a period before written history, when humans and their ancestors lived in diverse environments using basic tools and simple social structures. This era includes the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), where early humans relied on hunter-gatherer lifestyles, and subsequent periods like the Neolithic, marked by the development of agriculture and permanent settlements. The prehistoric setting focuses on fields like archaeology and anthropology, reconstructing how early humans adapted to their surroundings, created tools, and developed cultural practices, all without written records.
