    Visualize living in an area with lots of animals and plants that people hunt and gather daily. However, over a short period of time, there was a dramatic shift from hunting and gathering to food producing. Suddenly, people’s lives start to change and different lifestyles are formed. The Paleolithic Age, also called The Old Stone Age lasted from the beginnings of human life until about 10,000 BCE.

    Paleolithic Art is art that was produced about 32,000 to 11,000 years ago. The art of the Paleolithic period falls into two main categories: portable pieces, such as small figurines or decorated objects, and cave art. Paleolithic art usually depicting animals or humans, or nonfigurative, taking the form of signs and symbols. The art of the Paleolithic period was carved out of bone, antler, or stone, or modeled in clay. This art has been found in much of Europe, in Northern Africa, and in Siberia. Neolithic Art is the art and architecture of the prehistoric period stretching roughly from 7000 to 3000 BC. Neolithic art was primarily pottery and architecture. By the Neolithic age the advances in technology such as farming, weaving, the advent of pottery and the construction of structures such as Stonehenge, indicate that humankind begin to settle and develop their land.…

    To begin with, the differences between Paleolithic and Neolithic times is that Paleolithic uses biconical bone point, perigordian flint blade, prismatic blade core, soluterean willow leaf point, double row harpoon point as their tool kit while neolithic uses sheet with two hatchets, chisels in sheet, and horn hoe as their tool kit (document 1) . One of the differences is that Paleolithic "tool kit" is for haunting while Neolithic "tool kit" is for clearing land and farming. One of the main differences between the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods was in the main method people used to acquire food. In the Paleolithic, anatomically modern humans and their ancestors were mainly nomadic hunter gathers, which by then Neolithic people had developed farming, allowing them to live in settlement such as villages and towns. Diet also changed as a result of people eating more cereals and other farmed crops. Compared to the Neolithic, the Paleolithic people had less technology, they used basic stone, bone, antler tools and development such as art and other forms of higher culture only occur in the later stage of the Paleolithic. The differences between the paleolithic and neolithic period is that the the neolithic period is the new stone age, it covers the period about 9000 to 3500 BC, from which archaeologist have found polished stone tools, pottery, weaving, and evidence of live stock rearing, agriculture , and megaliths(huge stone…

    The Neolithic Revolution began around 9000 B.C.E. One of the first important developments of the period was the domestication of animals such as cattle, sheep, and pigs for food and labor. The arrival of agriculture also marked the beginning of this period. The transition into sedentary agriculture allowed more complex societies to form, eventually leading to the first civilizations. This period ended around 1000 B.C.E when these societies had reached a higher level of development. Agriculture had become much more commonplace by this point and civilizations had developed forms of government, language, culture, and technology.…

    With the beginning of human history comes the Stone Age—comprised of the Paleolithic and Neolithic Eras. The start of tool-making marks the former; the start of agriculture marks the latter. The first forms of tools in the Paleolithic Era were quite basic and rough, made from materials like wood, bone, and stone. Tools such as choppers for cracking bone and scrapers for preparing animal hide were used, and were then designed upon by later hominoids, from which weapons like clubs, spears, and knives were developed. These rudimentary tools functioned as the people’s means of survival. As a hunter-gatherer society, one killed and foraged for food and shelter. Tools were the catalyst. Fire was also a catalyst. It assisted alongside tools in hunting…

    The Neolithic Revolution existed as an elementary transformation in culture in the way people lived. It all started as an observation of planting a seed that spiraled into the development of agriculture. Once the realization of the planting of seeds was discovered the people began to form agriculture. The start of it was the slash and burn farming. The theory behind this was the soil would eventually lose all of it nutrients after a while, but if you burn everything down the ashes create a new soil that is good for farming. From there domestication of animals started. The goal was to domesticate animals into strong and obedient animals. Once they realized all the benefits of framing the people settled. This settlement meant commitment to…
