    The document summarizes the early human history in the Philippines from the Paleolithic Age to the Porcelain Age in five sections. It describes evidence that Homo erectus and Homo sapiens inhabited the Philippines as early as 65,000 BCE during the Paleolithic Age. The Neolithic Age saw the development of polished stone tools, large shell collection, agriculture, and a sedentary lifestyle. The Iron Age followed, where iron, copper, gold, and bronze were used for farming, weaving, seafaring, accessories, and warfare. The Porcelain Age witnessed the emergence of pottery made through paddle-and-anvil techniques, sometimes featuring artistic designs. Ancient graves from this period contained buried remains
