Write any six features of Stone age
Answers
The phrase stone age covers a massive amount of time, 3.3 million to only a few thousand years ago (decades ago in a few remote parts of the world), so long it covers several different species of human
The Lowe paleolithic (3.3 million years ago to about 400 thousand years ago) saw the first stone tools, flakes at first but later teardrop shaped tools called hand axes, they user fire about 1 million years ago and probably made sharpened wooden spears,
Next is the middle paleolithic (400 thousand to 40 thousand years ago) in this period stone spear points became common and what called behavioral modernity began and early homo sapians and possibly homo neanderthalensis where developing greater abstract thinking abilities and the beginnings of art, evidence of religion and spiritual beliefs, and personal adornment in the form of jewelry
Early homo sapians spread to the rest of the world from Africa and the upper paleolithic (40 thousand to 10 thousand years ago) and developed blade core technology, which is a way to make brake long thin flakes from a peice of stone, these blades can be made into different tools, they also made beads and other ornaments and made sculptures of mammoth ivory and other materials, they made bone and antler needles to sew skins into coats, pants and other garments, and where at least as advanced as hunter gatherers in recent times
The Mesolithic was a short period between the ice age and the rise of agriculture, people used bows and made microlith tools, (tiny blades stuck into a slot), to make arrow and spear heads and sickles for harvesting wild grain
By 10 thousand years ago in the Middle East people where domesticating wild grain and animals, this agriculture spread to Europe and pottery and ground stone axes where invented in the western world, they made fabric from sheep's wool and flax and farmed and raised livestock, they began to make copper and bronze tools around 5 thousand years, and the stone age was considered to be over (although they made some stone tools in the bronze age and they used stone tools in remote parts of the world as much as a few decades ago)
