Question

Compare and contrast the culture of mesolithic and Neolithic period?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Mesolithic was a period in the development of human technology between the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods of the Stone Age. In the Palaeolithic, people were pure hunter-gatherers. In the Neolithic they were farmers in settlements with domesticated animals and wheat, with over 500 kinds of tools and with pottery.

Answer 2

Answer:

Between the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras of the Stone Age was the Mesolithic, which saw the emergence of human technology. People were strictly hunters and gatherers in the Paleolithic. They had about 500 different types of tools, were farmers in towns with domesticated animals and wheat, and used pottery.

Explanation:

The key differences between them are:

1. The Mesolithic were hunters, while the Neolithic were farmers.
2. The Neolithic and Mesolithic periods began around 7000 and 3500 BC, respectively.
3. Since Meso means middle and Neo means new, the Neolithic was the more recent or more recent of the two stone ages.
4. While Mesolithic humans mostly consumed meat, Neolithic people ate more grains and other agricultural produce.
5. Neolithic period shows the beginning of metal works and pottery making. Stone-based tools were used during the Mesolithic era.
6. A change from caves and huts to huts and residences occurred throughout the Mesolithic Age. Since they had established themselves and were no longer required to be mobile, most Neolithic people lived in lengthy, mud-brick dwellings.
7. The Mesolithic, also known as the Middle Stone Age, was a prehistoric cultural period that existed between the Paleolithic, which is characterized by its broken stone tools, and the Neolithic, which is characterized by its polished stone tools.
