Such decisions included where they would go, how long they would stay, what to do if somebody were to break group rules, etc. The group was able to make such decisions as a group because of the limited number of people…

Hunting and gathering was thought to be the main strategy used by human societies to collect food about 1.8 million years ago, and from its re-appearance about 0.2 million years ago. It remained the only way of collecting food until the end of the Mesolithic period about 10,000 years ago. Beginning in transition between the Middle to Upper Paleolithic period, some hunter-gatherers groups began to specialize, concentrating on hunting a smaller selection of larger game and gathering a smaller…

The origin of agriculture is estimated to have occurred about 8,000 to 10,000 years ago in the Neolithic era. The social life of that time began to stabilize after the period of adaptation of the Mesolithic in terms of customs and traditions, and progressively moved away from the nomadic life of the hunter-gatherer. Basically they were dedicated to grazing, domestication of animals, making of fabrics, modeling of ceramics and cultivation of the earth. It was nevertheless a time of revolutionary…

According to english-heritage.org, “The earliest structures known in the immediate area are four or five pits, three of which appear to have held large pine ‘totem-pole like’ posts erected in the Mesolithic period, between 8500 and 7000 BC.” In other words structures have been around the site of Stonehenge for likely over 9000 years. Of course, this pays no resemblance to the Stonehenge we know today. Also according to…

life after the collapse of a towering kapok tree in the Amazon. The Amazon rainforest is a massive ecosystem that scientists are still trying to uncover today.
