Explanation:

1.The Palaeolithic dates from about 2.6 million years ago and ended around 15,000BC with the Mesolithic in Western Europe, and with the Epipaleolithic in warmer climates such as Africa. The Palaeolithic age began when hominids (early humans) started to use stones as tools for bashing, cutting and scraping.

2According to the Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. ... The earliest creatures that predated human beings were probably well aware of fire. When lightning would strike a forest and create a fire, it probably intrigued and amazed them.

3.The importance of the discovery of agriculture in history is that it helped human beings develop settlements and civilizations and opened up more options for survival other than hunting and killing

4.THE WHEEL is often described as the most important invention of all time – it had a fundamental impact on transport and later on agriculture and industry. ... Soon, it became common for the wheels to turn around a fixed axle. Wheels with spokes, first made around 2000 BC, were lighter, enabling vehicles to move faster.

5.Neolithic sites found in India other than Buzahom are Lahuradewa in middle Gangetic Plains, Sarai Khola in west Punjab, villages at Piklihal in Karnataka and Mehrgarh in Pakistan.
