Explanation:
The Paleolithic or Old Stone Age originated around 30,000 BCE, lasting until 10,000 BCE, and is separated into three periods: the Lower Paleolithic (the earliest subdivision), Middle Paleolithic, and Upper Paleolithic.
Answer:
The first or the oldest prehistoric culture is known as Palaeolithic or the Old Stone Age. The term comes from the Greek word ‘palaios’ means old and ‘lithos’ means stone.
Therefore, palaios+lithos=Palaeolithic. Although our knowledge regarding Palaeolithic is very meagre and imperfect, still Palaeolithic or Old Stone Age is very important as it provides a clear cut sequence of cultural development throughout the entire Pleistocene period, all over the world.
It is considered as a crucial period for all round human evolution; development of cultures can be traced out distinctively in this periodThe time span of the Lower Palaeolithic was the maximum covering the whole of Lower Pleistocene and bulk of the Middle Pleistocene epoch. During this span many river valleys and terraces were formed. Early men preferred to live near the water supply, as the stone tools are found mainly in or adjacent to the river valleys.The Middle Palaeolithic period is differentiated mainly from the typological point of view where the presence or absence of hand-axes or biface is critically important. The core-tool cultures have totally been transferred to the flake-tool cultures in this level. Therefore, Chellean-Acheulean hand- axes are no more found. Instead, implements have been made on flakes that are knocked off from the nodule.The last part of the Old Stone Age gave rise to the Upper Palaeolithic culture, which covers approximately 1/10th of the time span of entire Palaeolithic period. During this short span of time, the prehistoric man made his greatest cultural progress.
