Some may believe that those living during the “Stone Age” would not be able to move from continent to continent‚ however‚ it is quite possible that did. There are many reasons that can help support the idea that early humans moved around quite easily in their time. I believe explaining where‚ why‚ and

Using tools has been interpreted as a sign of intelligence‚ and it has been theorized that tool use may have stimulated certain aspects of human evolution-most notably the continued expansion of the human brain. Paleontology has yet to explain the expansion of this organ over millions of years despite being extremely demanding in terms of energy consumption. The brain of a modern human consumes about 20 Watts (400 kilocalories per day)‚ which is one fifth of the energy consumption of a human body
