Evidences of S&T During Pre-Historic Times

The document discusses science and technology during pre-historic times, which was marked by the use of stone and bone tools. It was divided into three periods - the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. During these periods, early humans were nomadic hunter-gatherers who used stone tools. They discovered fire and created art. As time progressed, tools transitioned from stone to bronze to iron, and civilizations began to form. Ritual killings may have occurred during the Iron Age, as evidenced by bog bodies. Overall, the document traces the major technological developments from the earliest human ancestors to ancient civilizations.
