Question

Answer 1

Answer:

During this time the earth experienced warmer temperatures and the glaciers covering large portions of the northern hemisphere retreated, leaving behind the basic geological and hydrological features of modern Ukraine.

Several significant social and technological advances took place during this period. Flint technology developed to the point where small, almost standardized, geometrically shaped pieces could be made. The basic tool and implement inventory of Upper Paleolithic man continued to be used, albeit with an increase in the manufacturing of bone and wood items. The introduction of the bow and arrow and the domestication of the dog led to changes in hunting practices, particularly the smaller size of hunting groups. Fishing expanded as an important sustenance activity, attempts at domesticating animals (pigs) for consumption were made, and there was even some rudimentary agricultural activity. Mesolithic sites have also revealed evidence of the earliest efforts to make pottery in Ukraine.
