A: The Neolithic era means “new stone”‚ divergent from the “old stone” of the Paleolithic era. Scientist had discovered that tool and stone production wasn’t the only thing that distinguished the Neolithic era from the Paleolithic era. The early stages of agricultural society are referred to as the Neolithic era. Over the years‚ agriculture

and hunting them for food. In other words‚ their days as nomads were not necessary anymore. This era also called for more modern tools‚ these tools help make agriculture easier such as the stone axe. They also developed the technique of sculpturing with clay and stone which was better than sculpturing with stone or reindeer horns like the Paleolithic people did. On the other hand‚ when taking a closer look at the disadvantages it was not all so great. As people where entering the Neolithic Era they

ice glaciers melted and agriculture began‚ bringing in the Mesolithic era‚ which lasted between 12 thousand B.C to 8 thousand B.C. Even though the Palaeolithic had the longer era and discovered and created stone tools‚ Mesolithic people had more advanced tools than the previous stone age. Using materials such as: deer antler‚ animals bones and little pieces of flint‚ known as microliths. Evidence shows that the antlers of the deer were used for tools that possibly have been used for digging. Animal

During the Paleolithic‚ Mesolithic‚ and Neolithic Age many things were lost and gained from the conversion of the hunter-gatherer life style to the agricultural life style. During the Paleolithic and Mesolithic Age it was mostly hunter-gatherers where people were nomadic and traveled from place to place to hunt for their food. The Neolithic changed into an agricultural way of life where they raised livestock and grew crops for their food. With the conversion from the hunter-gatherer lifestyle

This site contained large and micro blades of obsidian and chert along with the numerous bifacially worked artifacts such as points‚ scrapers and end-set points which suggest that this site was occupied by middle stone age hunter-gatherers. However‚ based upon the sparse faunal assemblage of mostly forgeable sea creatures (i.e. various mollusks: clams‚ periwinkle shells‚ sea urchins)‚ I imagine these peoples were less hunter and more gatherers.

These stone tools were used for their various farming activities such as cutting‚ digging‚ scraping‚ etc. In conclusion‚ while the hunter-gatherers managed to survive using basic tools‚ the farmers created a new superior toolkit which fundamentally altered human history.

Paleolithic tools such as flint axes‚ cutters and scrapers had to be obtained from nature. Art that was painted on cave walls‚ depicting everyday life‚ was produced towards the end of the Paleolithic age. A gradual transition from hunter-gatherer to agricultural economies began at the start of the Neolithic age. During this time food was still gathered from the wild but they also cultivated wheat and barley and raised sheep‚ goats and pigs for food. The Neolithic farmer began to build permanent mud-brick

Village Dwelling Humans If you analyzed the society of pre-sedentary humans to those who lived in villages‚ you’d find several connections that link the two‚ and how they evolved into that of society today.
