Unit 1 Rise of Civl PPT 1 With Vocab Reduced

During the Paleolithic Age, early humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers who followed migrating animals and food sources. They used simple stone tools, developed fire and language, and lived in caves or temporary shelters. As the last Ice Age occurred around 100,000 BCE, thick ice sheets covered much of the land and the seas were lower, allowing early humans to migrate across a land bridge between Asia and North America as they adapted to the changing climate and followed animal herds.
