Explanation:

1=Early humans lived in jungle and were afraid of bigger and stronger wild animals. Earlier they had no house to live in and they spend their time on the trees or hide themselves behind the bushes. But it could provide them security from wild animals, rain, winter and sun heat. So, they started living in caves.

2ans=Archaeological excavations at a Stone Age site in Israel have revealed the first direct evidence of the sort of plants that our distant human ancestors ate with their meat and fish. Their tastes were more adventurous than we might expect, with roasted acorns and sedges both on the menu.

3 ans=Early humans moved from place to place for various reasons: 1) In search of food and shelter, as they had no fixed place to live, as the present human beings, they always kept on moving. They stayed at a place where they found food and would move to another place after the food was over.

4 ans=By at least 500,000 years ago, early humans were making wooden spears and using them to kill large animals. Early humans butchered large animals as long as 2.6 million years ago. But they may have scavenged the kills from lions and other predators

5ans=Fire provided a source of warmth and lighting, protection from predators (especially at night), a way to create more advanced hunting tools, and a method for cooking food. These cultural advances allowed human geographic dispersal, cultural innovations, and changes to diet and behavior.
