Unit 1 (8000 B.C.E to 600 B.C.E) Key Concepts and IDs Unit 1, Chapters 1-4 1. Archaeological evidence indicates that during the Paleolithic era, hunting-foraging bands of humans gradually migrated from their origin in East Africa to Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas, adapting their technology and cultures to new climate regions. Within societies, artwork and tools were passed from society to society. This established culture. Culture includes living spaces, artwork, their clothing, and their values. (Page 6-7) When foraging groups were in colder climates, animal skin was used as clothing which was an advancement of the time. (Page 8)

Outline of prehistoric technology

The separation of the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages mark a great divide in the lives and cultures of prehistoric peoples. Many aspects of everyday life were modified to suit a new standard of living. Society, Economy, and Technology were greatly affected by the "Agricultural Revolution" that spawned the Neolithic Age. The Paleolithic Age, Greek for "Old Stone", is the era of the emergence of modern man. During this age, man was a hunter-gatherer species. Due to the plentiful sources of animals and plants, man could simply follow the herds and their migratory patterns. With no proprietary knowledge, each nomadic band was egalitarian as there was no distinction for a social ladder.
