The document discusses three periods of the Stone Age: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. The Paleolithic period began 2.6 million years ago and was characterized by primitive stone tools and humans living in small bands who gathered plants and engaged in fishing and hunting. Toward the end of this period, people developed spiritual and religious beliefs. The Mesolithic period occurred between the Paleolithic and Neolithic, and was a transition time marked by the development of microlith stone tools. The Neolithic period saw the domestication of animals, permanent housing structures, and evidence of crop farming and cultivation between 10,200 BC to 4,500 BC, ending with the start of the Bronze Age.

in the terms of architecture and lifestyle.
Neolithic revolution
The Neolithic Revolution refers to the transition of human societies from hunting and gathering to agriculture and settlement between 8000-3500 BCE. The development of agriculture began in Southwest Asia and allowed populations to grow as food supplies became more reliable and abundant. Sedentary living led to the establishment of permanent villages and towns, which saw further technological advances in tools, pottery, weaving and metallurgy. The first large settlements, such as Catalhoyuk and Jericho, displayed evidence of social stratification and specialized labor. By 3500 BCE, advanced river valley civilizations had formed along major river systems.

History of Stone Age
The Mesolithic Age occurred between 10,000-8,000 BCE. During this time, humans moved out of caves and began building huts. They invented new stone tools like bows and arrows for hunting and boats for fishing. Humans also began domesticating wolves, which eventually became dogs. Societies grew larger and people started making pottery and jewelry. However, humans still maintained a nomadic lifestyle, hunting and gathering food and then migrating to new areas once resources were depleted.
THE STONE AGE
The document summarizes the Stone Age periods in human prehistory. It describes the Palaeolithic Age as the earliest and longest period, characterized by hunting and gathering with crude stone tools. Cave paintings provide information on early human life. The Mesolithic Age followed, where smaller stone tools were used and hunting became more prevalent. In the Neolithic Age, humans began cultivating crops and domesticating animals, settling into agricultural villages in river valleys, marking a shift to food production. The Chalcolithic Age was a transitional period where both stone and early copper tools were utilized. Archaeological sites provide evidence of life and technological changes during the Stone Age periods.
Paleolithic times
The document summarizes key developments from the Paleolithic period including the emergence of stone tool technology, the movement of humans from caves to villages, and early forms of shelter, art, and symbolic communication. Stone tools allowed humans to cut, shape, and work wood, enabling the creation of projectile weapons, shelters, and other technologies. Cave paintings provided early expressions of beliefs and perspectives on life. Archaeological artifacts and remains like the Skara Brae houses in Orkney, Scotland provide clues about Paleolithic life and how societies were organized.
New Archaeology/Processual Archaeology
New Archaeology emerged in the 1950s-60s as a reaction against traditional descriptive archaeology. It aimed to use archaeological data to understand cultural processes and human behavior, particularly the causes of cultural change. The goals of archaeology became understanding past human societies and answering anthropological questions. New Archaeology introduced new theoretical paradigms, methods, and observations but remained a work in progress. It sought to explain the underlying historical processes behind cultural change and shed light on past human ecology, technology, economics, and social organization.
Prehistory by Laura noguera
Prehistory began over 1 million years ago with the origins of humans and lasted until the invention of writing around 5,500 years ago. During this time, early humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers in family groups. The Neolithic Period saw humans transition to more sedentary lifestyles, cultivating plants and domesticating animals around 10,000 years ago. Villages and new technologies like pottery and weaving developed. The Metal Ages began approximately 6,000 years ago when humans started working with metals like copper, bronze and iron to make improved tools and weapons, leading to more advanced settlements and the rise of early cities.

Paleolithic vs neolithic age
The document discusses the distinction between the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, also known as the Old and New Stone Ages. The Paleolithic period began around 2.6 million years ago with the advent of stone tools and lasted until around 10,000 BCE. It was characterized by nomadic hunter-gatherer societies using chipped stone tools. The Neolithic period began around 10,000 BCE and lasted until around 2,000 BCE, characterized by more settled agricultural societies using polished stone tools and domesticating plants and animals. Key differences included permanent dwellings, private property, more advanced tools and weapons, clothing, and the development of trade networks and organized religion/government in the Neolithic period.
Prehistory and early humans
This document provides an overview of world history unit 1 on prehistory and early humans. It covers 3 main topics: 1) Prehistory from the Paleolithic era to early hominids like Homo habilis and Homo erectus. 2) Developments in the Middle Paleolithic including Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. 3) The transition to the Neolithic era with the development of agriculture, animal domestication, and permanent settlements.
Oldowan acheulean
- The document discusses early stone tool technologies, beginning with Oldowan tools dated to 3.4 million years ago which were made and used by Australopithecus afarensis.
- Acheulean tools emerged around 1.8 million years ago and were more sophisticated, consisting of bifacial hand axes, cleavers, and picks. These tools spread widely and suggested more advanced cognition among humans.
- Acheulean handaxes are believed to have taken on social significance beyond just functionality, with elaborate examples perhaps serving to display skills or used in mate selection by early humans.
Stone age
The document summarizes differences between the Old Stone Age (Paleolithic Age) and New Stone Age (Neolithic Age). During the Paleolithic Age, people hunted and gathered food, lived nomadically in temporary shelters, and wore clothing made of animal furs. In contrast, the Neolithic Age saw the development of agriculture and domestication of animals, with people settling in permanent homes near crops and herding animals. Clothing incorporated wool from domesticated sheep.
Mesolithic age
The Mesolithic Age was a period of transition between the Old and New Stone Ages from 11,000-6,000 BCE. During this time, early humans began controlling fire, developing language, and moving from hunter-gatherer to more settled lifestyles. They began domesticating animals and plants, developing tools like bows and arrows and pottery, and forming early social structures and religious beliefs.
Paleolithic and neolithic
The document provides information on Paleolithic and Neolithic civilizations. During the Paleolithic, humans lived in small bands and subsisted through gathering and hunting. The climate fluctuated between warm and cool periods. In the Neolithic, humans began practicing agriculture around 6500 BCE, leading populations to increase and civilization to emerge. River valleys provided fertile soil for agriculture, and civilizations developed around irrigation systems, divisions of labor, calendars, forms of government, and writing. Culture and art advanced during this period as well.

Prehistory
Prehistory spans from the emergence of early human ancestors around 5 million years ago until the development of writing around 5,000 years ago. It is divided into the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Metal Ages. Early humans like Australopithecus, Homo habilis and Homo erectus lived by hunting and gathering. During the Paleolithic period, humans lived nomadically in caves or huts and made tools from stone. In the Neolithic, agriculture was developed, allowing humans to settle permanently in villages along rivers. The Metal Ages began as humans learned to use copper, bronze and iron to make objects.
Stone age
The document provides information about the Stone Age, which is divided into three periods: the Paleolithic Age, Mesolithic Age, and Neolithic Age. It describes some of the key technological developments of each period, including the use of stone tools in the Paleolithic, the development of microlith tools in the Mesolithic in response to environmental changes, and the emergence of ground and polished stone tools as well as early construction projects in the Neolithic due to increased reliance on plant harvesting and processing.

Paleolithic civilization
The document summarizes key aspects of Paleolithic civilization from 2 million BCE to around 10,000 BCE. During this era, humans lived in small hunter-gatherer societies and used only stone tools. The Paleolithic is divided into three periods: Lower (tool use began), Middle (tool making improved), and Upper (artistic and cultural developments emerged). Paleolithic humans migrated throughout Africa and Eurasia and adapted to fluctuating climates. They hunted animals and gathered plants for food, and had religious beliefs involving spirituality and burial rituals.
palaeolithic age
The document discusses cave paintings and tools from the Paleolithic period. It notes that cave paintings used various colors made from plant extracts and limestone powder. The paintings depicted animals like horses, deer, and lions. Animal fat provided lighting in caves before sunlight. Hunting scenes provided evidence of early human planning and dexterity. Paleolithic humans made stone tools and used bones, wood, and animal skins as weapons and clothing. Several important Paleolithic sites in India are mentioned.

Pre-History
The document discusses life during the Paleolithic period of pre-history. During this time, which began around 2.5 million years ago:
- Humans lived in small nomadic bands and relied on hunting, gathering, and scavenging for food. They made tools from stone to aid in hunting and daily tasks.
- Around 30,000 years ago, early humans began painting images of animals on cave walls, indicating the beginning of artistic expression. They also learned to control fire.
- By the end of the Paleolithic period around 10,000 years ago, tools had advanced and included specialized tools made from stone, bone, and horn. Humans began burying their dead.
49. stone age
The document summarizes the Stone Age period of human history. It was called the Stone Age because it was the period when early humans first started using stone tools, which helped them hunt and build shelter. Archaeologists divide the Stone Age into three periods based on tool sophistication: the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic Age (Middle Stone Age), and Neolithic Age (New Stone Age). During the Neolithic Age, humans transitioned to farming and domesticated animals like cows and sheep.
Bronze age
The Bronze Age lasted from around 2300 BC to 700 BC. During this time, bronze was widely used to make tools, weapons, and other implements as it was harder than previously used stone. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Cities without natural resources to obtain bronze were forced to trade with those that did have resources. The development of bronze tools and weapons advanced societies politically, economically, socially, and culturally. One influential Bronze Age invention was the chariot, a light two-wheeled vehicle drawn by horses that was used for transportation, hunting, and as a powerful military weapon.
Paleolithic Age
The document summarizes human evolution and life during the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age) from around 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 BCE. It describes the major hominin species including Australopithecus, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens sapiens. Paleolithic humans lived nomadic lifestyles in small bands, hunting and gathering for food. They used simple stone tools and harnessed fire. Later species such as Cro-Magnons produced cave paintings and sculptures, indicating religious and cultural developments.
Powerpoint stone age
The document outlines the timeline of world history from prehistory to modern times. It divides world history into two periods: prehistory, before writing was invented; and history, after writing allowed events to be recorded. Prehistory is further divided into the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. The Stone Age includes the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic Age, and Neolithic Age (New Stone Age). The Paleolithic Age saw early humans' absolute dependence on nature and use of stone tools. Agriculture and animal domestication began in the Neolithic Age.
Paleolithic age
The document discusses the Paleolithic Age from 2.6 million to 10,000 years ago, covering the Lower, Middle, and Upper Paleolithic eras. It examines the climatic conditions and ways of living during this period, including food and nutrition, shelter, tools, religion, beliefs, art, and music. The Paleolithic Age marked early human evolution and the development of stone tool technology.
Early humans mesolithic age
The Mesolithic Period, also known as the Middle Stone Age, lasted from around 10,000 BCE to 8,000 BCE and was a transitional phase between the Paleolithic hunter-gatherer era and the Neolithic Agricultural era. People during this time lived through hunting, fishing, food gathering and later began domesticating animals like dogs. They also discovered the value of grass seeds such as barley and wheat. Tools of this period included large hand axes, spheroids and microlithic stone tools, as well as those made from bone, wood, and animal tusks and horns.

Prehistory slideshare
The document summarizes prehistory from the Paleolithic Age to the Metal Age. It describes how early humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers in small tribes, using stone tools and discovering fire, art, and tools. The Neolithic Age began around 10,000 years ago when humans invented agriculture and domesticated animals, settling into villages and developing pottery, trade, and more advanced tools. The Metal Age started around 5,000 years ago when humans began working with metals like copper, bronze, and iron to create stronger tools and weapons, leading to larger populations and the rise of early cities.
Paleolitic and Neolitic
The document summarizes prehistoric human development from the earliest human ancestors around 5 million years ago until the development of writing around 5,000 years ago. It describes the major periods of the Palaeolithic Age (stone age), Neolithic Age (new stone age), and Metal Ages. During the Palaeolithic, early humans like Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens lived as hunter-gatherers. In the Neolithic, humans transitioned to agriculture and settled into villages. The Metal Ages saw the development of tools and objects from copper, bronze, and iron.
Prehistory 2
Prehistory refers to the time before written records. It consists of the Stone Age and Metal Age. The Stone Age is divided into the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. During the Paleolithic, early humans were hunters and gatherers, while in the Neolithic, humans transitioned to an agricultural lifestyle and settled communities. The Metal Age saw the development of tools and weapons from bronze and iron.

The Mesolithic Age was the second period of human prehistory between the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages. During this time, humans developed new microlith tool technologies that allowed for increased leatherworking, basketry, and more refined hunting tools. Agriculture and domestication of plants and animals began. Characteristics of the Mesolithic Age include the formation of forests after glacial melting, dependence on hunting and gathering, and initial domestication of some animals. Humans of this era, known as Homo Erectus, migrated throughout Asia and Europe, using advanced tools like axes and controlling fire.

The Paleolithic era involved nomadic hunter-gatherer societies who used basic stone tools, while the Neolithic era saw the development of sedentary agricultural communities, permanent structures like Stonehenge, and advances in tools and weapons. Both eras struggled to survive using primitive methods, but had distinct cultural differences in how they organized their societies and economies.
Early humans and the agricultural revolution powerpt
Early humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers from 2.5 million years ago until around 8000 BC during the Paleolithic Age. During this time, humans discovered how to make fire, developed tools and language. The last ice age from around 100,000 BC covered large areas in ice, lowering sea levels and connecting Asia to North America via land bridge. Humans adapted to the harsh conditions through changes in diet, shelter and clothing. The Neolithic Age followed between 8000 BC to 4000 BC, when farming and animal domestication began, allowing for settled villages and division of labor, marking the Agricultural Revolution.

prehistory-160107201447 (3).pdf
Prehistory spans from the emergence of early human ancestors around 5 million years ago until the development of writing around 5,000 years ago. It is divided into the Palaeolithic Age (hunting and gathering), Neolithic Age (beginning of agriculture and settlements), and Metal Ages (use of metals). Early humans like Australopithecus walked upright, while later species such as Homo erectus, Homo sapiens, and Neanderthals used tools and fire. In the Neolithic, agriculture emerged, allowing people to settle permanently in villages along rivers. Megalithic structures like stone circles and dolmens were also constructed during this time.
The prehistory luna, maria, cris
The prehistory period began several million years ago with the appearance of the first human beings and lasted until the invention of writing around 5,000 years ago. It is divided into two periods: the Paleolithic and Neolithic. The Paleolithic was the longest period, starting with the first humans and ending around 10,000 BC with the discovery of farming. During this time, humans were nomadic hunter-gatherers who lived in small groups in caves or simple shelters. The Neolithic began around 10,000 BC following the discovery of agriculture, and ended around 3,000 BC with the invention of writing. During this period, humans became sedentary, living in villages and farming the land, and developed new

The document discusses the Palaeolithic Age in Malaysia, providing details on location, characteristics, way of life, and archaeological evidence. The Palaeolithic Age occurred between 10,000-200,000 years ago and involved early human life forms that predated Homo sapiens. Palaeolithic people lived as hunter-gatherers, using stone tools for hunting and tasks. Archaeological finds show they created cave paintings depicting animals they hunted and figurines that may have been religious symbols. Palaeolithic communities lived nomadically in small groups following animal herds and taking shelter in caves.
INNOVATIVE WORK
This document provides an overview of the four main periods in prehistory - the Paleolithic Age, Neolithic Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. It describes some key characteristics of each period. The Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age) began around 2 million years ago and ended between 10,000-4,000 years ago. People lived nomadic lifestyles as hunter-gatherers. The Neolithic Age (New Stone Age) began around 10,200 BC and saw the development of agriculture and more permanent settlements. The Bronze Age followed and was characterized by the usage of bronze and early urban civilizations. The Iron Age began after and was marked by the widespread use of iron for tools and weapons

6.1.2 stone age
- 1. PALEOLITHIC MESOLITHIC NEOLITHIC It is the earliest Stone age period dating 2.6 million years ago. The age is distinguished by most primitive stone tools. Humans during the era grouped together in small “bands” and were involved in gathering plants, fishing and hunting. During the end of the age, people developed spiritual and religious beliefs as depicted in some of the excavations. It is the second period of stone age between Paleolithic and Neolithic. The start and end of the age vary by geographical region. It is a transition period from hunting and gathering as in Paleolithic to domestication as in Neolithic. The tools used were mode V chipped stone tools (microliths). It is the 3rd period of stone age and is often referred to as “New stone age”. Its time period is considered to be around 10,200 BC to 4,500BC , which ended with the beginning of “Bronze Age”. People lived in small tribes and were involved in domestication of animals. There is evidence of people living in permanent houses. There is also evidence of crop farming and cultivation during the period.
