Upper Paleolithic

The Upper Paleolithic is a period in prehistory that lasted from around 50,000 to 10,000 years ago. It marked significant advancements in human behavior, culture, and technology. During this time, modern humans (Homo sapiens) developed more sophisticated tools, like blades and art, including cave paintings and carvings. This era saw the emergence of complex social structures, hunting strategies, and the use of personal adornments. The Upper Paleolithic is crucial for understanding the evolution of human creativity and the beginnings of organized societies, as well as our adaptation to various environments across the globe.
