Stone Age

During the Paleolithic Era, people were nomads and Paleolithic was known as old stone age. People were nomads in which they moved from place to place in search of food and shelter. They also made simple tools using bone, wood, and stone. They use fire and make clothes from animal skin (hide). Women also gathered berries and Men hunt for buffalo. They love in groups of 15-20

New technology in the Neolithic Revolution had an immense impact. Life in the New Stone Age mainly depended on agriculture, which led to the invention of the plow and fertilizers, making jobs in plant cultivation more efficient. Furthermore, around 5000 B.C wheels were invented, making transportation much faster and easier than before. Weapons were also improved; in the Paleolithic Era their arms were made of wood and stone, but in the Neolithic Revolution man started making their weapons out of stone. This enhanced weaponry helped people protect their villages’ valuable resources. (Documents #4 & 6)

In conclusion, the lives of the people living in the Paleolithic and the Neolithic time period were different in many ways and a like also. Through the improvements in technology, education, and culture they were able to enhance the quality of life throughout these two periods. As man's mind increased, it led into the new age, and the start of what may be civilization, as we know

The Paleolithic age and all the aspects of its culture were full of amazing inventions and discoveries. The people of the Stone Age created a whole new way of living. The Paleolithic period was believed to first begin in Africa as we started to evolve“ (McDougal, World History: Patterns of Interaction, 2004). The Paleolithic age lasted from about 2.5 million to 8000 B.C” The hunter-gather lifestyle was a big part of the Paleolithic culture. In this culture, there was an equal division of labor between the men and women. To find food prehistoric people would use the hunter-gather method to find food in their natural settings, this lifestyle was also called the nomadic lifestyle. The men would hunt animals and the women would gather food such as berries and other plants. The nomads equally shared the responsibilities of their families including the care their young. Small family groups were common in the Paleolithic age do to the travel and constant search for food. There was no set government in the Paleolithic period, the Neolithic period, however, was strikingly different than the old stone age.

Although it has been assumed for a long period of time that early Paleolithic people have a very uninteresting and uniform history, studies have shown that many cultures of the time have demonstrated many different ways of expressing beliefs, relationships with others, and ways of getting food by hunting and gathering.

In a period of complete change beknownst to us as the Neolithic Revolution, some groups of nomads deserted their “normal” way of life and began to settle down in villages and use agrarian methods to make a living for themselves. Two examples would be the Chumash of Southern California and the San of South Africa. Although the Chumash and the San both led a gathering and hunting way of life, they are ultimately two completely different civilizations, embodying unique political organizations, social structures and hierarchies, distinct economic foundations and individual sets of differing values.

Hunter/Gatherers secured their own food supply and moved from place to place as needed to maintain it. They clothed themselves in the furs of animals that they had killed for food. They got the name, Stone Age, from tools made from stones.

Interconnectedness Interconnectedness is the state of being connected with others. Throughout the years interconnectedness has had both positive and negative affects on society. This essay will speak about the Neolithic Revolution, Crusades and Black Death. The Neolithic Revolution had a very positive effect on society because it made food more easily accessible. The Crusades also had a positive effect on society because people were able to share the knowledge they had gathered of the years.

Prior to the “Agriculture Resolution”, humans who migrated out of Africa lived by traveling in groups from one location to the next which is the technique used to exploit seasonal food supplies. Tools like bows and arrows, fishhooks and needles were used in order to live. But with the agricultural resolution, there was a large change brought about with people beginning to settle in areas which eventually built villages and the introduction of new technologies, including pottery, wheeled vehicles and writing. With the switch of from the hunter-gatherer lifestyle

First, I would like to discuss the strategy of hunting and gathering, the sole strategy until twelve thousand years ago. Hunting and gathering is a form of subsistence dependent upon wild plants and animals for the majority of the calories of the diet. While its name underscores the importance of hunting in this lifestyle, this is misleading as the majority of caloric needs in societies practicing this strategy are met by gathering wild edible plants and berries.

These two periods have many differences and over the years technology has improved and made a very big impact on the lives of people today. The period between these two stone ages have seen the forms of art, images and the changes of people and animals in their everyday

Going from gatherer to farming occurred gradually, the decision was made by the availability of game and gatherables, and the pressures of population to how much is going to be grown

Paleolithic people and Neolithic people were very different hominids, and they have many interesting facts about them. One interesting fact about the Paleolithic people is that they rarely ever traded with anyone. Paleolithic people lived 2 million years ago and lasted until 8000 B.C.E. An interesting fact about Neolithic people is they built their houses out of adobe and they were permanent houses. Neolithic people lived in 8000 B.C.E and lasted until 3000

Today, the writing of ancients and archeologists has given us insight about the foods that were eaten, and the manner in which they were prepared. Their climate, soil, and terrain of the region exposed that it was especially good for growing grains, legumes, beans, olive trees, and grape trees (Moulton 3). Grain was their primary ingredient for making flour, which was used in the most common foods eaten. Including varieties of bread, porridge, biscuits, and cakes. They

During the civilizations of Stone Age, it was believed that the first techniques of using cooking vessels have been used. Among this, there were the improvements to basic roasting, and the use of clay or large leaves in order to preserve the moisture of the cooked food.
