"PALEOLITHIC" means: "OLD STONE AGE"

Paleolithic

Today the earth is occupied by human beings, however it was not always that way here on earth. Interesting enough about half millions years ago, our species did not exist and up to about 100,000 years ago that species was limited to Africa and according to scholars there were only about 10,000 individuals. 

Our ancestors had limited technology of stones tools to confront the dangers of the World had to offer. How did our ancestors: Homo Sapiens, move from such a modest role in the scheme of things to a worldwide and increasingly dominant presence?

The phase of human history during which these migrations took place according to scholars was know as the "Palolithic era." The term means "old stone age" but it refers more to a food-collection or gathering and hunting way of life, before agriculture allowed people to grow food or raise farm animals. Interesting enough, this was only about 11,000 years ago and if you think about that, that was not long ago. 

I think still today, we need to look deeper into this area of our past. We are not complete with information about our human history. This era in time of our past is a very important par of Paleolithic peoples and the initial settlement of the planet, the creations of the earliest human societies. According to Strayer, some historians think because the "Paleolithic" peoples did not have their own writings; historians identify "real history" with writing and they dismiss the Paleolithic era as largely unknowable.  I just think we need to look more deeper and search more in this area........
