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.

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.
The Neolithic Age
The Neolithic period was part of the Stone Age, a time period in which hominids primarily used stones as tools and weapons. Dating from approximately two million years ago to 3000 B.C., the Stone Age consisted of three time periods..
The slide was made as part of academic tasks.
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.
The stone age
1) Early humans like Homo sapiens emerged 100,000-400,000 years ago in Africa and were nomadic hunter-gatherers who used simple stone tools to find food and shelter.
2) Starting around 10,000 BC, humans began farming and domesticating plants and animals, leading to the Neolithic Revolution. Villages like Catal Huyuk in Turkey grew to house thousands as people specialized in jobs like farming, weaving, and pottery-making.
3) The Neolithic Age from around 8000 BC to 3000 BC saw further agricultural advances as people engaged in practices like slash-and-burn farming and raising livestock. Permanent settlements replaced nomadic lifestyles.
Bronze age
The Bronze Age was a period of human history between the Stone Age and the Iron Age defined by the widespread use of bronze. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin that was harder than copper alone, allowing it to be used for weapons and tools. The Bronze Age occurred at different times in different regions, ranging from around 3300 BC to 1200 BC in Egypt and 3000 BC to 700 BC in China. This period saw advances in agriculture, trade, and specialized labor.
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 palaeolithic period
The document discusses the three periods of the Stone Age:
1. The Paleolithic period was the earliest period when the first stone tools were invented. Humans during this time were hunter-gatherers who did not practice agriculture.
2. During the Mesolithic period, tools like bows and arrows were developed to help hunt deer.
3. The Neolithic period marked the beginning of farming.
Prehistory
This document summarizes prehistory from the Paleolithic era to the Metal Age. It describes how early humans evolved from hunter-gatherers to settling in agricultural communities. Key developments included controlling fire, crafting sophisticated stone tools, domesticating animals, inventing pottery, and beginning to trade. During the Neolithic, humans established permanent villages and constructed megalithic monuments like menhirs, dolmens, and stone circles. The Metal Age saw the rise of copper, bronze, and iron tools and technologies, enabling early cities to form with hundreds of inhabitants.

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.
CIVILIZATIONS OF THE WORLD
The document discusses the 10 oldest civilizations in the world. It begins by defining civilization as an advanced stage of social development and organization reached by a society. It then lists the civilizations chronologically from oldest to most recent. The three oldest are the Mesopotamian civilization, Indus Valley civilization, and Ancient Egyptian civilization. It provides brief descriptions of each civilization's origins, locations, and some key aspects of their cultures and achievements.
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.
The stone culture
The document summarizes the Stone Age periods of human development. It was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. The Paleolithic period began 2.6 million years ago and lasted until around 10,000 BC. During this time, the earliest humans developed primitive stone tools and lived in small societies as hunter-gatherers. In the Neolithic period, from around 10,000 BC, humans transitioned to domesticating animals, farming, and living in villages. They also began experimenting with crafts like pottery and weaving. Later periods included the Copper Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age, where tools transitioned to being made from bronze and iron rather than just stone.
Early humans
Early humans lived off the land, eating fruits and fish and raw meat since they were unaware of fire. They stood upright, unlike apes, and lived in groups in trees or caves for protection from wild animals. Their clothes were made from leaves, animal hides, and grass to protect from heat and cold. They used stone tools like hammer stones and flakes, as well as wooden and bone tools, to hunt large animals and access new foods. A key development was the discovery of fire through rubbing stones together, which allowed cooking of food and keeping warm. The invention of the wheel, initially using tree trunks as wheels, revolutionized transportation by allowing pulling of carts and connecting isolated groups.
Stone age - Indian culture ppt
The document summarizes the Stone Age periods in India, including the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic eras. It notes that the earliest humans in India date back around 1.38 million years ago based on archaeological sites. During the Paleolithic period, humans began using stone tools. The Mesolithic period saw the development of microlithic tools. Finally, the Neolithic period marked the beginning of settled agricultural societies in India around 6,000 BCE, with early villages forming and domestication of crops and animals.
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.
Prehistory
Human evolution began around 5 million years ago with early human ancestors like Australopithecus afarensis in Africa. Homo habilis who lived around 2 million years ago were the first to make complex tools. Homo sapiens emerged around 200,000 years ago in Africa and spread across the world. Prehistoric human development involved progressing through the Stone Ages including the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods defined by their tool usage and subsistence strategies like hunting and gathering or agriculture. During the later Metal Ages of the Copper, Bronze and Iron Ages, humans transitioned to metal tools and the rise of early civilizations.
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.
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.

Unit 1. prehistory
Prehistory began over 2.5 million years ago with the emergence of the first humans and ended around 3500 BC with the development of writing systems. During this time, humans evolved from hunter-gatherers to early agricultural societies. Prehistory is divided into periods including the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. In the Palaeolithic, humans lived nomadic lifestyles and created tools from stone, bone, and wood. The Neolithic period saw the development of farming and permanent settlements. Metals like copper, bronze, and iron were introduced and new technologies led to social changes and early trade networks and cities.
The pre historic era
The pre-historic era is divided based on the availability of written records. It includes the Pre-historic period with no written records, the Proto-historic period with written records of other cultures about a culture but not of that culture itself, and the Historic period with existing written records. Pre-historic times are further divided based on the materials used, including the Stone Age which is divided into the Paleolithic Age, Mesolithic Age, and Neolithic Age. Some important Paleolithic sites in India include Bhimbetka, Kurnool, and Hunsgi which provide evidence of early humans and their stone tool usage. The Mesolithic period saw increased humidity, grasslands and agriculture. The Neolithic period featured polished
Neolithic Time Essay
Early humans during the Stone Age lived as hunter-gatherers, hunting wild animals and gathering plants for food, they created simple tools and weapons made of stone to aid in their survival, and they lived nomadic lifestyles, constantly on the move in search of resources as they lacked agriculture.
Stone age
The document summarizes the Stone Age periods of human prehistory. It was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. During the Paleolithic period, humans used stone tools and weapons for hunting and gathering. The Neolithic period saw the development of agriculture and domesticated animals. Tools became more specialized and polished stone and pottery were used. The Stone Age ended around 6000 BC in some areas but lasted until 4000 BC in others as humans discovered metallurgy and more advanced technologies.
Prehistory
The prehistory period spans from the emergence of hominids to the invention of writing. It includes 5 periods of hominid evolution marked by changes in the body like increased brain size, use of fire, tool-making, language, art and religion. During the Paleolithic, hominids were nomadic hunter-gatherers living in tribes and outdoors in huts or caves, dominating fire and using stone tools. The Paleolithic is divided into three stages: Lower, Middle and Upper Paleolithic. The Neolithic brought agriculture, animal domestication, new techniques like pottery and polished stone, and permanent villages with houses made of materials like mud or stone, where people lived in clans.

Man first appeared on Earth around 70 million years ago as apes that lived on trees. Over time, they were able to stand and walk upright, using their forelimbs as hands. The Old Stone Age began around 2.6 million years ago, when early humans used stone tools for survival and protection. During the New Stone Age, from around 6000 to 1000 BC, humans developed more advanced tools and started keeping domesticated animals. Metals like copper, tin, zinc and iron were discovered and used to create stronger alloys like bronze, advancing civilization during the Metal Age.

From roughly 10,000 years ago, humans transitioned from hunting and gathering to food production. Early humans used simple stone tools for tasks like catching insects and other small animals. Around 10,000 years ago, some groups began cultivating plants and domesticating animals, marking the beginning of agriculture and the Neolithic period. Key developments included the domestication of crops and animals in places like the Middle East, and innovations like grinding stones and the wheel, which revolutionized tasks like pottery making.
Unit 1. Prehistory
1. Prehistory is divided into the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. During the Stone Age (Paleolithic and Neolithic periods), humans lived as hunter-gatherers and began farming, respectively.
2. The Neolithic period saw the rise of permanent settlements as people transitioned to an agricultural lifestyle. Megalithic structures like dolmens and stone circles emerged.
3. During the Metal Ages, people developed new technologies using copper, bronze, and iron. Trade increased and complex societies with specialized labor developed, leading to the formation of early cities.
Prehistory
1. Prehistory is divided into the Stone Age, Neolithic, and Metal Ages based on advances in technology.
2. The Palaeolithic period saw early humans as hunter-gatherers who lived nomadically in tribes and used stone tools. They created cave paintings and portable art.
3. In the Neolithic period, the development of agriculture and livestock domestication led to permanent settlements and the rise of the first villages as people became sedentary producers. Tools were polished stone.
4. The Metal Ages saw the rise of copper, bronze, and iron tools, bringing technological advances and social changes including new trade routes, specialized labor, and a more hierarchical society with wealth inequality. Megal

Sustainable development
Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The environment and economy are interdependent and development must not ignore environmental impacts. The Brundtland Commission emphasizes protecting the future by leaving an equal or better quality of life and environment than past generations through conservation and avoiding additional costs or risks. Economic growth has put pressure on limited environmental resources, and sustainable development offers a solution to balance development and environmental protection.
EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION
This document provides an overview of key aspects of ancient Egyptian civilization:
1) Egyptian civilization flourished along the Nile River valley with agriculture as the economic backbone. Weaving and glass production were also important crafts.
2) Kings were known as pharaohs, with Tutankhamun as one famous example. Mummies were preserved corpses and pyramids served as tombs housing mummies.
3) Hieroglyphics was their form of sacred writing recorded using papyrus leaves. The Egyptians also made advances in science, mathematics, and timekeeping through innovations like the solar calendar, sundial, and water clock.
INDIA &ECONOMIC PLANNING
This document discusses the objectives of India's economic planning: growth, modernization, self-reliance, and equity. It defines economic growth as the increase in output across primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors of the economy. Modernization aims to use machines and technology to increase productivity, accuracy, and efficiency while reducing manual labor and risks. Self-reliance seeks to achieve self-sufficiency through developing basic industries and energy using domestic resources. Equity means ensuring all citizens have access to basic necessities like food, shelter, education, and clean water through a just distribution of wealth.
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
Fundamental rights are basic human rights guaranteed to all Indian citizens. This document outlines the six main fundamental rights protected by the Indian constitution: right to equality, right to freedom, right against exploitation, right to freedom of religion, cultural and educational rights, and right to constitutional remedies. It provides details on the specific rights protected within each category such as equality before the law, freedom of speech, prohibition of child labor, cultural rights of minorities, and the right to move the supreme court to enforce these fundamental rights.

This document provides information about the three organs of government in India:
1. The legislature makes laws and consists of the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha houses of parliament.
2. The executive implements laws and consists of the central government led by the president and state governments led by governors and chief ministers.
3. The judiciary interprets laws and resolves disputes, led by the Supreme Court, high courts, and subordinate courts like district courts.
The three organs must work together constitutionally for effective governance.
HARAPPAN CIVILIZATION
The document summarizes key features of the Harappan civilization. Major excavation sites that revealed this civilization were Harappa and Mohenjodaro. Key features included the use of burnt bricks to build all structures, including homes, streets, wells, and a drainage system. Larger structures included granaries for storing grains and a "Great Bath" at Mohenjodaro thought to be used for religious ceremonies. The civilization declined around 1700 BCE possibly due to flooding, invasions, deforestation, or epidemics.

The document discusses three topics: old age homes, women's harassment, and the use of intoxicants. It provides reasons for old age homes such as children working away, fewer families, safety concerns, and healthcare needs. It also lists problems faced by women in society like crimes, atrocities, lack of education and job opportunities. Finally, it outlines causes of intoxicant use such as physical and mental health issues, increased crime, family problems, economic crises, and accidental deaths.
Forms of codensation 3
Condensation is the change of water vapor into liquid water and occurs when warm air cools and loses its ability to hold water vapor. There are several forms of condensation, including dew, which forms on cold surfaces at night; frost, which forms tiny ice crystals below freezing; fog or mist, which are tiny droplets suspended in the air in low visibility; and clouds, which form around dust particles in the atmosphere and can be classified by form and height into cirrus, stratus, cumulus, and nimbus clouds.
Indus Valley Civilization
The Indus Valley Civilization was one of the earliest urban civilizations that flourished between 3300-1300 BCE along the Indus River valley. Two major cities, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, were centers of this advanced civilization, which engaged in extensive trade, used wheeled vehicles and sea-faring craft, and developed a sophisticated system of weights, measures, and an as yet undeciphered writing system. The Indus Valley people practiced agriculture and domesticated crops like wheat and barley. Remains also provide evidence of well-developed arts and crafts.
Mahathma Ghandi
Mahathma Gandhi was an Indian activist who led the Indian independence movement against British rule using nonviolent civil disobedience. Born in 1869 in Gujarat, India, he trained as a lawyer in London and first employed nonviolence in South Africa in the struggle for Indian civil rights. After returning to India in 1915, he organized peasants, farmers, and laborers to protest excessive land taxes and discrimination. As the leader of the Indian National Congress starting in 1921, Gandhi launched several nonviolent campaigns for independence and social causes. Known as Bapu or "Father of the Nation," his birthday on October 2nd is a national holiday in India commemorating his leadership in achieving independence through nonviolent means
Mughal state
The Mughal Empire was a Persianate empire that ruled large parts of South Asia between the 16th and 18th centuries, establishing an administrative structure with the emperor at the top, provincial governors below him, and a military system based on granting land in exchange for military service. Key aspects of the Mughal state included its combination of Indian and Persian administrative elements, a patrimonial bureaucratic system with little distinction between state and household officials, and revenue collection, law and justice, and social classes structured around the nobility, military leadership, and common people.
Mughal state
The Mughal Empire was a Persianate empire that ruled large parts of the Indian subcontinent from 1526 to 1707. It was founded by Babur, a Timurid leader of Turco-Mongol descent. The Mughals governed through a highly centralized administration divided into provinces, districts, and villages. The emperor was the head of state and fountain of law, while the mansabdari and jagirdari systems organized the Mughal military and administrative structures. The Mughal state combined elements of Indian administration with Persian models of governance.

- 3. STONE AGE The stone age can be divided into ThePalaeolithic Age - Old Stone Age The Mesolithic Age –Middle Stone Age The Neolithic Age –New Stone Age The Chalcolithic Age - Copper Age
- 4. PALAEOLITHIC AGE Palaeolithic age was the longest part of stone age. It can be further divided into lower,middle,upper palaeolithic age. The palaeolithic men used rough and rude stone implements. Their main occupation was hunting and food gathering. Palaeolithic men did not settle on one place for a long time • Cave paintings are the source of information about the early human life.

- 16. NEOLITHIC AGE • In the period subsequent to the Mesolithic Age, man began to use polished stone tools. • This period is called the Neolithic Age. • The beginning of cultivation was the major progress in this period that dates around eight thousand years back. • The change from food gathering to food production is a landmark in the history of human life. • Environmental changes, scarcity of food, population growth, etc. are pointed out as the major reasons that led to cultivation. • Man began to cultivate and settle down in the river valleys. • Gordon Childe, the historian, termed these changes as 'Neolithic Revolution
- 17. • In the Neolithic Age, human beings began to rear animals for food. • They began a settled life for the purpose of cultivation and domestication of animals. • Wheat, barley, jute, different kinds of tubers, paddy, plantain, etc. were the major crops of that age.
