article Paleolithic and Neolithic Societies is Dr. John H. Lienhard’s, Engines of our Ingenuity. In the article, Lienhard cites the discovery of Blombos Cave, which has led to the breakthrough that modern humans existed before the extinction of Neanderthals. The report also states similar facts to those in Paleolithic and Neolithic Societies, such as examples of developed weaponry, evidence of fishing, and advanced stonework. The first examples of art

The Stone Age was divided into two eras, The Paleolithic and the Neolithic. During the Paleolithic Era, humans mostly foraged for food, used crude tools, and depended heavily on the environment around them.

Introduction Throughout the course of our evolution hominids have engaged in, what today would be considered savage, inhumane practices, such as manslaughter, torture and mutilation (Lewis, Jurmain & Kilgore, 2013). These actions today are considered almost taboo in society, however anthropologists who study such behaviour and historians who have meticulously documented it are completely comfortable divulging their work to the scientific community. Based on this acceptance, one would expect the topic

Human evolution is the biological and cultural development of humans. A human is any member of the species Homo sapiens, meaning "wise man." Since at least the Upper Paleolithic era, some 40,000 years ago, every human society has devised a creation myth to explain how humans came to be.

Africa’ hypothesis, confirm that all modern humans stem from a single group of Homo sapiens who emigrated from Africa 2,000 generations ago and spread throughout Eurasia over thousands of years. These settlers replaced other early humans (such as Neanderthals), rather than interbreeding with them. The second hypothesis is Multiregional that Homo sapiens is the evolution from Homo erectus, and that evolution took place in many parts of globe independently.
