The Stone Age

By Rashon, Fahrad, Nathaniel, and Kevon

            The Stone Age is part of the history of the world that encompasses the first wide spread use of technology in human evolution and the spared of humanity from the savannas of east Africa to the rest of the world.

  It ends with the development or agriculture, the domestication of certain animals and that smelling of copper or to produce metal. It is termed prehistoric; since humanity has not get startled writing the traditional start of history i.e. records history The Stone Age receives its name from the fact that most human tools preserved from that area are made of stone. Although undoubtedly tools of wood and animal parts such as bone and sinews were also in use these were rarely preserved.

                  

           Stone age hunting and gathering

 

        One of the markers of historical progress has been the ability of a people or culture t0o work metal and its alloys. Primitive people used hard things to cut and slice and to tip their arrows, the most suitable material being stone and animals bones. Prior to the discover that would serve better such cultures are typically divided into Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic for old stone, middle stone and new stone.

 

                                Stone Age Food

 

During the Paleolithic period of the Stone Age, humans were hunter-gathers whose diet foods included both the animals and plants that were part of their natural environment. Fossil evidence from groups of hunter-gatherers suggests that the daily diet was derived primarily from animal based foods. In particular, they enjoyed animal organ meats like the liver, kidneys, and brains - meat-foods that are extremely rich sources of nutrition. Stone Age humans didn't consume much dairy food, nor did they eat high carbohydrate foods such as legumes or yeast-containing foods, or cereal grains.

The people of ancient Egypt built mud brick homes in villages and in the country they grew some of their own food and traded in the villages for the food and goods they could not produce. Most ancient Egyptians worked as field hands, former craftsmen and scribes. A small group of people was nobles to gather, these different group of people were nobles together, these different groups of people made up the population of ancient Egypt.

      Some sections of the ax surfaces are almost as smooth as some silicon wafers used to make computer chips, says Peter Lu, a physicist at Harvard University. "Somehow, Stone Age people . . . were able to make something smooth enough that you could pattern a circuit on it," he says. In an attempt to discover how the polishing was done, Lu obtained four ceremonial burial axes from the tombs of  two Neolithic Chinese societies—the Liangzhu culture and the Sanxingcun culture—that once inhabited parts of southern China near what is now Shanghai. The stone axes had been dated by others to between 4000 and 2500 B.C.
