PREHISTORY SUMMARY (6ºA)

The Paleolithic Age started about 1,000,000 years ago when the first humans appeared. These people were nomads, which means that they went from place to place to live. They lived in family groups in caves. They made tools with stones, bones and wood, and they made clothes from animal skins. They hunted animals, fished and gathered plant products. They used first fire and to keep warm. They also began speaking, and they painted pictures of animals, hand marks, etc. on cave walls.

The Neolithic Age started 10,000 years ago (in 8,000 B.C.E.) when people started practicing agriculture and raising animals. Neolithic people began living in little villages. They were sedentary, which means they stayed in one place. They made pottery, which is pots made from clay. They made clothes from plant fibres and wool. They used megaliths, which are big blocks of stone, to make monuments.

The Metal Ages began 6,000 years ago (in about 4,000 B.C.E.) when people started using metals such as copper, tin, bronze and iron to make tools and weapons. They invented the wheel. They started living in towns and the first cities.
