The prefix "paleo" means "old" while the suffix "lithic" means stone- "Old stone age". This was when humans were not yet into civilization, and were nomadic hunters and gathers. Civilization and the advanced achievements that would come of it (like agriculture, cities, music, art, literature, government architecture, engineering, ect...) would begin in Neolithic times. (New stone age) Technology would make a drastic incline by the end of the paleolithic era. Even then there was religion, spiritualism, and beliefs of magical superstition, and deities.
The paleolithic age is also called the old stone age.
No one really knows because there is no written record.
They are very weird if you made them up.
Something like Oga Ugga goo.
The first people of the America's arrived between 10 and 20 thousand years ago. This is within the period referred to as Paleolithic. Paleolithic means Old Stone Age.
The first people everywhere are known as Paleolithic, which is a term coined in the 1860s
It's a catch-all description based on what evidence we had then about the material culture for about 99% of human prehistory (that is, time before the writing and recording of history). That material culture, from the evidence known in the 1860s, was basically simple worked stone tools.
The Paleolithic is measured from about 2 and a half million years ago, when the first stone tools appear, probably made by hominins rather than by what we would consider to be people like us, right up to the end of the Pleistocene era, which is about 10,000 years ago.
During that time humans spread out of Africa to every continent apart from Antarctica. Obviously they developed not only sophisticated stone tools in that time , but also the use of fire, shelter, clothing, footware, - obviously, as they managed to survive as far north as Lapland, Alaska and Siberia - as well as body ornaments, painting and Musical Instruments.
"Paleo" is a prefix meaning old. Lithic is a suffix meaning "stone" or "rock".
Archeologists and anthropologists who study people and their cultures from long ago have devised a set of terms to divide the progression and development of human cultures as time progressed.
Most of the evidence that these researchers found buried in the earth ARE REMAINS OF THE TOOLS THAT THEY MADE.
Very little remains of wood and leather relics. Some bone, tooth and antler tools are found.
Many stone tools are found because they do not decay so easily. The precise progression in technology from one tool-making material to the next is neither clear nor agreed by some workers [students of the past].
Bamboo, for instance, is not found amidst some advanced cultures in the far east although there is abundant evidence that a culture of considerable sophistication was extant there.
In short, "paleolithic" means old stone tools.
