What are differences between the Paleolithic, and Neolithic time periods?
Can you tell me about the differences between the Paleolithic and Neolithic time periods?
Sure! The Paleolithic period, also known as the Old Stone Age, lasted from about 2.6 million years ago to 10,000 BCE. During this period, humans were primarily hunters and gatherers, and they used stone tools. In contrast, the Neolithic period, also known as the New Stone Age, spanned from about 10,000 BCE to 4,500 BCE. During this time, humans began to practice agriculture and domesticated animals, leading to the development of permanent settlements and greater social complexity.
