WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -For the roughly 190, 000 years of human existence prior to that, within the period called the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), all human societies were nomadic. This means that they did not have permanent addresses or build permanent structures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paleolithic humans lived a nomadic lifestyle in small groups. They used primitive stone tools and their survival depended heavily on their environment and climate. Neolithic humans discovered agriculture and domesticated animals, which allowed them to settle down in one area.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the Paleolithic period (roughly 2.5 million years ago to 10, 000 B.C.), early humans lived in caves or simple huts or tepees and were hunters and gatherers. They used basic stone and bone tools, as well as crude stone axes, for hunting birds and wild animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Paleolithic people were nomadic because they had to go where they could find food. This often meant moving when grazing animals moved on and seasonal temporary homes built out of whatever the natural environment offered, including animal hides, animal bones, branches, and brush.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Neolithic Era began when some groups of humans gave up the nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle completely to begin farming. It may have taken humans hundreds or even thousands of years to transition fully from a lifestyle of subsisting on wild plants to keeping small gardens and later tending large crop fields.

Detailed explanation-6: -At the beginning of the Paleolithic, hominins were found primarily in eastern Africa, east of the Great Rift Valley. Most known hominin fossils dating earlier than one million years before present are found in this area, particularly in Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.
