Explanation:
1. The Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age is an archaeological term used to describe specific cultures that fall between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic Periods.
The use of small chipped stone tools called microliths and retouched bladelets are the key factor to identify the Mesolithic as a prehistoric period.
Mesolithic people likely continued the art forms developed during the Upper Paleolithic Period, including cave paintings and engravings, small sculptural artefacts, and early megalithic architecture.
The most extensive collection of Mesolithic rock art has been found on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. These paintings consist of human and animal figures in scenes of hunting and early agricultural activities, such as collecting honey.
A Mesolithic pendant excavated in England bears striking similarities with contemporary pendants produced in Denmark. Whether this points to intercultural contact or travel across vast expanses is unclear.
2.Key Terms
Microlith: A small stone tool.
Mesolithic: A prehistoric period that lasted between 10,000 and 5,000 BC.
Megalith: A construction involving one or several roughly hewn stone slabs of great size
The Earliest People
Climate Change
You will be surprised to know that a major part of the Stone Age was during the Ice Age. Ice was all around and there was negligible vegetation on the earth. After global warming; the Ice Age came to an end about 12,000 years ago. End of the Ice Age meant clearance of a vast tract of land. This also meant an ambient temperature for the growth of plants. More green plants resulted in better availability of food for animals and humans. This was the period when many modern-day mammals must have proliferated. More animals meant better availability of meat
After the Ice Age; the plants of the grass family began to grow in most parts of the world. You must be aware that rice, wheat and corn belong to the grass family. It means that a major portion of our food comes from the grass family. This was the period when people may have started using cereals and grains.
Where Did People Live?
palaeolithic sites on the map of India
Fig: Palaeolithic Sites
This map of India shows some important sites where people lived during the Stone Age. Some major places where people lived during the Old Stone Age are:
Bhimbetka (Madhya Pradesh)
Hunger (Karnataka)
Kurnool Caves (Andhra Pradesh)
Two common factors for these sites are as follows:
These places are near a river: The presence of a river means that the availability of water was not an issue.
These places are somewhere in the Deccan Plateau: The Deccan Plateau has plenty of stones. Thus, the materials for making stone tools were available in plenty
3. The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau that covers most of South India. It is triangular, surrounded by three mountain ranges. It extends over eight Indian states (principally, Telangana, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu).
4. The earliest member of the genus is Home habilis which evolved around 2.8 million years ago. Homo habilis is the first species for which we have positive evidence of the use of stone tools. They developed the Oldowan lithic technology, named after the Olduvai Gorge in which the first specimens were found.
