Paleolithic

Chauvet Cave, which lies in France, is one of the ancient caves that is classified to the Paleolithic period. The cave is special due to the paints which were found inside it. These paints are the oldest paints ever discovered. It has made scientists pose lots of questions and draw tentative conclusions about it. Chauvet Cave was found in 1994 by three cave explorers. The reason of classifying this cave to Paleolithic period is that after the scientist had studied the materials, they found it…

though where the face should be appears to be covered by this hair. There also is a few other details in the statute such as having a belly button and having a defined pubic area. The meaning and function of this object can be understood 2. In the Paleolithic painting the humans are rather simple with the figures being purely an outline with very little detail to it. The animals on the other hand are given a bit more detail to them in their fur though still being simple looking and being given…

sapiens” (p.171). Reason being because, of classified fossils that were recorded fossils was piece of skulls and jaw bones. Fossils was not the only major part of human evolution. The Paleolithic period was also a big part of human evolution, it is broken up into three different measures lower, middle, and upper. The Paleolithic Periods The first period was the lower period which go back about 100,000 to 500,000 years ago. Homo erectus were the first species that made stone tools…

hybridization. Almost all of Paleolithic artifacts appeared in more than 1000 sites of were Oldowan or Mode I. The artifacts indicated the Mode I technique had lasted for a long period and the cultural elements were introduced by the humans at some sites. Therefore, it could be included that there was a small number of cultural exchanges with the West in the Paleolithic. In the Neolithic Age, the geographic variations were decreased compared with those of the Paleolithic period. Some common…

In the article, "The Lower Paleolithic of the Near East" by Ofer Bar-Yosef discussed during the Plio-Pleistocene the Near East formed a safe terrestrial bridge for animals to cross over through Africa, Asia, and Europe (Bar-Yosef, Ofer, pg. 212). The Near East will continue to be considered as the only evidence for the hominids migration into other regions outside of Africa (Bar-Yosef, Ofer, pg. 212). The successful adaptation of hominids into Western Asia resulted into their mobility…

Is Paleo Diet Paleo diets are based on a basic assumption if our ancestors really did not eat it, we shouldn't eat either. So to fight versus the illnesses triggered by our modern-day diet regimens, we ought to return back to our paleo diet. Paleolithic diet consists generally of fish, lawn fed meats, veggies, fruit, fungi, origins, sea meals, nuts and also seeds. Dairy products, grains, sugar, processed meals and also oils, vegetables, alcoholic beverages and also carbohydrates are not part…

in the scientific community quite some time ago. Popular area focused on this topic was the effect of Spear use by Eurasian Neanderthals and early modern humans. Neanderthals are commonly known for roaming the earth during the same time as Upper Paleolithic modern humans. Due to the extinction of Neanderthals and our continued progression an important argument is the difference in predatory capabilities between the two hominids. Both actively used spears during their hunting exploits, however…

The thesis of Nelson’s 1990 essay about the “Venus” figurines of the upper Paleolithic era is that anthropology is itself recirculating unfair and poorly thought-out gender norms in its imposition of meaning onto the figurines. Her most important points are less about the Venus figures themselves, and more about the role of gender. Even within academia, she observes a trend involving the recirculation of imposing gender norms onto artifacts without any real evidence for it (Nelson 12). Nelson…

America. While many believe Columbus was the first to discover North America in 1492, he had actually been beaten to the punch by more than 12,000 years by the Paleo-Indians. During the Paleolithic revolution about 40,000 years ago, a life based on hunting, and gathering appeared in Europe, Africa and Asia. As Paleolithic hunters in Asia began to push further and further into the arctic tundra while perusing bigger game, they eventually crossed Beringia a massive land bridge connecting the two…

instinctive, and built into the sociology of our brains; but why is that? In paleolithic times, people relied on one another to survive; otherwise know as survival in numbers. If an individual was different from others, they could had been looked on as an abnormality; shunned from the others in the group, and death was a possibility. Although this is a worst case scenario, it was a definite possibility in the paleolithic age. After thousands of years of evolution, this autopilot to conform is…
