EVOLUTION AND PREHISTORIC PERIOD

The Stone Age is divided into three Periods: Paleolithic (or Old Stone Age), Mesolithic (or Middle
Stone Age), and Neolithic (or New Stone Age), this era is marked using tools by our early
human ancestors (who evolved around 300,000 B.C.) Let us Start With the first to the last

Paleolithic Period (roughly 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 B.C.): early humans lived in caves,
but they must migrate every day because of climate change. They used stones to get food like
fruits and animals also they made some beautiful early art, and some early humans shared a
planet with several now-extinct hominin relatives, including Neanderthals and Denisovans. Also,
in this period they discovered Fire which they saw was dangerous when touched.

Mesolithic Period (about 10,000 B.C. to 8,000 B.C.): humans now use small tools, now also
polished and sometimes crafted with points and attached to antlers, bone or wood serve as
spears and arrows. They now lived permanently in camps or beside rivers or other bodies of
water. And Agriculture was introduced in this period which made more humans live in
villages permanently.

Lastly the Neolithic period (roughly 8,000 B.C. to 3,000 B.C.): ancient humans stopped from
being in a hunter/gather mode, but they began to be an agriculture and food production mode
also they made new tools and more better tools and in the future some armor. New kinds of
art were made like pottery sewing and weaving were invented in that time.

The Bronze Age and Iron Age

(about 3,000 B.C. to 1,300 B.C. for Bronze Age and roughly 1,300 B.C. to 900 B.C. for Iron
Age) The Bronze age had Bronze and Copper they were used for weaponry and more harder
tools and stone was replaced by metal. This time period brought advance architecture and
better art making than before, this age is where the invention of the potter’s wheel, and
textiles. Clothing consisted mostly wool items like as skirts, kilts, tunics and cloaks. The
Iron Age had a lot of discoveries to heat and forge Iron and it was more precious that gold.
All that happened in the Iron Age was all war nonstop since mankind used this wrong.
