Stone Age

Many people think that early humans are stinky and hairy. They are known as cavemen. They are actually known as Paleolithic and Neolithic people, and they were very smart. They lived in the Stone Age to the New Stone Age. The Paleolithic people lived from 100,000 B.C. to 10,000 B.C. and the Neolithic people lived from 5,000 B.C. to 2,500 B.C. The many similarities and differences the Paleolithic and the Neolithic people have in common are very interesting . To begin with, the Paleolithic

The Paleolithic and the Neolithic age were similar and different. The Paleolithic people had many stuff in common, But they also didn’t do the same methods of stuff. Keep reading to find out! The Paleolithic people were nomadic while the Neolithic started villages and stayed in one place. I knew they were nomadic because it told me “Paleolithic people were always on the move.

During these times, Africans were seen as primitive and savage. They were inferior and less evolved in comparison tot heir Western counterparts. For the most part, they believed that Africans had made little, if any, progress since some humans left the continent and established

such as the food they ate, the weapons they used and their hunting lives were documented. Therefore, A large portion of Paleolithic art was created to express ideas to teach the future generations of hunters and gatherers. Not only would the stone age people express what they were hunting through drawings, but they would also keep an inventory as well. For example, they would tally how many animals were killed that day. They used it as future reference for animal migration patterns. This was helpful

early phase of the Stone Age; and encompassed a steady development of stone tools, antler and bone artifacts, engraving on bone and stone, and paintings on the walls of caves and rock structures. There was not much structure built or agriculture done in this period as the people lived a nomadic lifestyle, migrating with the herds of animals they hunted for food. Neolithic: The Neolithic period lasted from about 9000 b.c. to about 8000 b.c. It was the last phase of the Stone Age; and encompassed the

The Paleolithic era began about 2.6 million years ago; this was considered the Old Age. The Neolithic era began about 10,000 BC where it was named the New Age. There were several differences that existed between the men who lived in these two ages. The Paleolithic man consisted of nomads who hunted and gathered their food to survive. Their hunting tools consisted of chipped and dull stones and wooden weapons. Their shelter consisted of huts and skin tents, and they were characterized as a tribal

Human existence has lasted over several million years and in that time there has been countless advances in the way we live. Human history has had many diverse periods of time, one being the Stone Age. During the Stone Age there were two major subdivisions, the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. The Paleolithic, which lasted until about 10,000 years ago, had a significant separating factor from the Neolithic, ending in 2000 B.C.E. This factor was the way in which the people in these periods acquired

The Anatolian Neolithic settlement of Catal Huyuk, which means forked mound, dates between 7000 and 5000 B.C.E. was one of the world’s first towns and the oldest civilizations on earth. Located in the Konya Plain in central Turkey, Catal Huyuk was considered the wheat-growing region. The main mound covered 32 acres and stood 57 feet above the plain with a distance of 3,000 feet above sea level. The population was estimated at upwards of 5,000 people, which was based on the site and the cluster

time brought about some of the earliest stone tools and the famous cave paintings that have helped humanity learn more about our past. Following the Paleolithic Era was the Mesolithic and Neolithic Eras, which both brought us more advanced stone tools and the beginning of the use of copper. After the Mesolithic and Neolithic Eras was the Bronze Age, which saw the advent of bronze tools and weapons. The following period of time is referred to as the Iron Age; where the invention of iron tools and sling

The Paleolithic Man is more of the ‘cave man’ that we know of today, most of them were lived as hunters/nomads and took shelter in caves and/or skin tents. On the other hand, during the Neolithic Era (or the New Stone Age), the Neolithic Man lived in permanent settlements made from stone and mud, they grew crops and domesticated animals. It was during the Neolithic Era that communities and societies were developed and ‘houses’ were created, an example of this is the Catal Hoyuk in modern day Turkey
