What were the tools used to create these pieces of art in the Lower Paleolithic period?
Because stone tools are abundant near river valleys, the population preferred to live near the water source. The first stone tool fabrication began during this period and was known as the Oldowan tradition, which refers to a pattern of stone-tool manufacturing by Hominids. The earliest tools were thought to be splintered stones called eoliths.
Cleavers, choppers, and hand axes were the most common tools used during the Lower Paleolithic era. These tools were primarily used to cut, dig, and skin prey.
What are some of the main characteristics of the Lower Paleolithic period?
The Lower Paleolithic period lasted until B. C. Its locations in India have been discovered in Punjab, Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, among other places.
The Lower Paleolithic Age was primarily found in Western Europe and Africa, and early humans led nomadic lives. Although no specific human group was responsible for the Lower Paleolithic period, many scholars believe that it was contributed by Neanderthal-like Palaenthropic men (Third stage of hominid evolution).
