Invention of tools
Later, people made devices from a hard stone called flint.
Paleolithic people learned that by hitting flint with another hard stone, the flint would flake into pieces.
Before this time, sticks, stones, and tree branches served as tools.
pieces had very sharp edges that could be used for cutting.
Technology, tools and methods to perform tasks-was first used by Paleolithic people.
Over time, early people made better, more complex tools.
Early humans used sharp-edged tools to cut up plants and dig roots.
Spears and bows and arrows made killing large animals easier.
Harpoons, or spears with sharp points, and fishhooks increased the number of fish caught.
They used scraping tools to clean animal hides, which they used for clothing and shelter.
By the end of the Paleolithic Age, people were making smaller and sharper tools.
Technology had a far-reaching effect. It drove the development of more advanced farming tools and influenced where people settled.
They crafted needles from animal bones to make nets and baskets and to sew hides together for clothing.
Changing to survive
In very cold climates, some people made shelters from ice and snow
In regions where wood was scarce, Paleolithic people used the large bones from dead woolly mammoths, or hairy elephant-like animals, to build frames for shelters. they then used animal hides to cover the bones
People constructed tents and huts of animal skins, brush, and wood
People living in warmer climates, on the other hand, needed little clothing or shelter. For the purposes of safety and comfort, however, many lived in caves and huts. These shelters provided protection against attacks by large animals.
Fire :fire:
Provided warmth in cold caves
scared animals away
Cooked food to digest easier and taste better
Provided light in the dark
Armed with spears, hunters could also use fire to chase animals from bushes to be killed
Language & art :silhouettes:
Early artists crushed yellow, black, and red rocks and combined them with animal fat to make their paints.
Paleolithic cave paintings have been found all around the world.
They used twigs and their fingertips to apply these paints to the rock walls.
Some of this art can still be seen today, even though it is thousands of years old.
They later used brushes made from animal hair.
Early people also expressed themselves through art.
Early people created scenes of lions, oxen, panthers, and other animals. Few humans, however, appear in these paintings.
New technology and more complicated experiences, for example, required new words.
Some scholars believe, however, that the paintings may have been created to record the group's history.
The spoken language of early people was constantly growing and changing.
They may have been created simply to be enjoyed.
We also use words to express our thoughts and feelings.
Language makes it easier for us to work together and to pass on knowledge.
