    Paleolithic Era

    This era is known as the Paleolithic. The oldest evidence of organized villages, include camps with storage holes, dates to the Upper Paleolithic. With the growth of cave paintings, fossils, and bone or wood carvings and engravings, creative work thrived. Additionally, the earliest evidence of human fishing has been discovered in artifacts dating back 125,000 years from Buya, Eritrea, as well as other locations like Blombos Cave in South Africa.

    Lower Paleolithic

    The Lower Paleolithic began with the appearance of the first stone tools in the world. From the dawn of humans to the creation of mixed tools, the Lower Paleolithic Period spans time. Most of the tools used during this Lower Period were basic choppers and scrapers from the Oldowan Tradition, so known because of the location in Africa where they were found. Most humans were scavengers and simple.

    Upper Paleolithic

    The production of flint tools saw important technological advancements as well. Bone, antler, and skins were worked in racloir. Along with the fishhook, oil lamp, rope, and eyeball needle, advanced darts and harpoons also existed during this time.
  • Period: 10,000 BCE to 2200 BCE

    Neolithic era

    The Neolithic age is characterized by the beginning of a settled human lifestyle. People learned to cultivate plants and domesticated animals for food, rather than rely on hunting and gathering. No one wrote in the Neolithic era. The pillars of their homes, burial grounds, tools, and crafts are only a few of the remnants they left behind because they lived in settled communities.
  • Period: 10,000 BCE to 8000 BCE

    Mesolithic era

    The Mesolithic era is the transitional phase between the Paleolithic age and Neolithic age. After hunting in the afternoons, Stone Age men would focus on various kinds of tasks. In order to make new tools like axes, knives, and hammers. They may also collect nuts, berries, and natural plants for survival. During the Stone Age, both men and women would either boil their food in a clay pot or roast it over an open flame. Men and women of the Stone Age would come together around the fire to sing.
  • 8000 BCE

    End of Mesolithic era

    Towards the end of the Mesolithic Age, people began growing crops and practising animal domestication, which is the controlled cultivation, management, and production of domestic animals.
  • 7000 BCE

    Lower Neolithic era

    Settlements have grown more permanent, with single-room circle homes matching those of the Natufians. However, mudbrick was used for the first time in these homes. There was probably a stone tower and a stone wall around the town. The wall was used to keep animals contained, to defend against floods, or to shield the area from neighboring groups. Also, several of the enclosures imply the storage of meat and grain.

    Upper Neolithic

    People lived in small groups, tribes, and communities around the world. Some were in the Stone Age, while others were transitioning to the Bronze Age.
