Epipalaeolithic And Its Niche
The Epipalaeolithic was hunter gatherers that existed at the end of the last ice age before Neolithic . These hunters created their own niche by the concentration of wild plants, and small cultivation. Their niche was in the Near East with a high population density until a abrupt climate change occurred. The niche was transferred into a argiculutral niche because it could be sent with changes to the Old World. This was influenced by massive population increase and had huge impacts on local people, animals, and plants. The hunting, gathering , and farming is the niche. Their niche is constructed because of behaviour and environment. Hunting is the niche because of the competitor removal involves taking out competitors whose niche overlap

    In a period of complete change beknownst to us as the Neolithic Revolution, some groups of nomads deserted their “normal” way of life and began to settle down in villages and use agrarian methods to make a living for themselves. Two examples would be the Chumash of Southern California and the San of South Africa. Although the Chumash and the San both led a gathering and hunting way of life, they are ultimately two completely different civilizations, embodying unique political organizations, social structures and hierarchies, distinct economic foundations and individual sets of differing values.…

    The era of foragers, also known as the “Paleolithic era” deals with the lives of hunter-gatherers, who had survived for over 240,000 years. Their nomadic lifestyles of traveling and hunting has created a huge impact to the environment and their sophisticated technology, such as sticks and stones allowed them to settle adaptively across the globe with different climates. Succeeding foraging is the agrarian era, that lasted for almost ten thousand years. In this era, advancement with agriculture and pastoralism were a necessity as it allowed cities, states, and empires to form. Complex societies, especially hierarchy, followed along. The modern era is described to be the fastest out of the three eras proved that tremendous in population, innovation, and productivity in less than a millennium was possible. The industrial revolution was the next level of domination after agriculture and since has shaped the world through today where better sophisticated technology (such as the steam engine that allowed quick supply of cheap energy) was able to expand to all regions. After the main text, this book ends with the resource pages, periodization chapter, and the index. (need…

    At first the indigenous migrants lived in small bands hunting and gathering. Wooly mammoths still roamed North America and bison roamed the plains. These migratory bands were known collectively as Paleo-Indians. They contributed to the extinction of the large mammals through hunting. Archaic is the term used to describe the hunting and gathering cultures that descended from the Paleo-Indian groups.…

    The Pleistocene faced massive evolutions and changes. The Bering land bridge helped large species such as the mammoth, bison, deer and all their relatives to cross over to the Americas. The ancestors of the human species made its big appearance, but most importantly there was the catastrophic extinction event of many species near the end of the Quaternary period. The event had a great effect on the species roaming on Earth. The Quaternary extinction event was caused by factors such as global climate fluctuations which pushed many to adaptation and others to extinction. It’s also plausible that hunters contributed to the Quaternary extinction by causing local extinctions. After the last ice age, the ecosystem was greatly impacted and a new diversity…

It all started with the Paleolithic period and continued through the first civilizations. The Paleolithic period which was is better known as the Stone Age, carried on until about 14,000 years ago. While the first civilizations were the first representations of the civilizations that we live in today. Throughout the Paleolithic period and early civilizations, many factors of civilization have changed, but at the same time, many have stayed the same and were still used in the early civilizations as well as today.…
