* The Emireh point from the Upper Paleolithic is almost the same as one found in Châtelperrón, which is likely to be contemporary, although they are slightly shorter and also appear to be fashioned from a blade and not a bladelet.

Recent archeological evidence also indicates that winemaking may have originated in the Paleolithic, when early humans drank the juice of naturally fermented wild grapes from animal-skin pouches.

Late Upper Paleolithic societies also appear to have occasionally practiced pastoralism and animal husbandry, presumably for dietary reasons.

Humans also probably consumed hallucinogenic plants during the Paleolithic period.

Gimbutas did identify the diverse and complex Paleolithic and Neolithic female representations she recognized as depicting a single universal Great Goddess, but also as manifesting a range of female deities: snake goddess, bee goddess, bird goddess, mountain goddess, Mistress of the Animals, etc., which were not necessarily ubiquitous throughout Europe.

Paleolithic art is also present.

Marija Gimbutas ' Kurgan hypothesis is opposed by Paleolithic Continuity Theory, which associates Pit Grave and Sredny Stog Kurgan cultures with Turkic peoples, and the Anatolian hypothesis, and is also opposed by the Black Sea deluge theory.

The paleolithic diet ( abbreviated paleo diet or paleodiet ), also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a modern nutritional plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various hominid species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic era — a period of about 2. 5 million years duration that ended around 10, 000 years ago with the development of agriculture.

In common usage, such terms as the " Paleolithic diet " also refer to the actual ancestral human diet.

Katharine Milton, a professor of physical anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, has also disputed the evolutionary logic upon which the Paleolithic diet is based.

The specific plant to animal food ratio in the Paleolithic diet is also a matter of some dispute.

It is also important to note that the Paleolithic diet was lower in total energy, energy density, carbohydrate, dietary glycemic load and glycemic index, saturated fatty acids and calcium, but higher in unsaturated fatty acids, dietary cholesterol and some vitamins.

An Epipaleolithic ( latest Paleolithic ) period, also known as Mesolithic ( transition to Neolithic ) follows and is, in turn succeeded by a Neolithic ( New Stone Age ).

The archaeologist William Boyd Dawkins found MacRitchie's views also appealing, since in his Early Man in Britain and His Place in the Tertiary Period ( 1880 ) he considered Upper Paleolithic culture across Europe ( including Britain ) to have been founded by a proto-Eskimo or Lapp race, a view at the time which was popularised after the discovery of " Chancelade Man ", in southwestern France by Leo Testut in 1889.

These are also among the most ancient symbols, with the решето ( resheto, sieve ) motif dating back to Paleolithic times.

There are also competing theories on whether the Afro-Asiatic language family owes its expansion to the Neolithic revolution that originated in an area that includes the range of the Afro-Asiatic language, or was already widespread in the Upper Paleolithic era.

She has also highlighted the diversity of both ancestral and contemporary foraging diets, arguing that there is no evidence that humans are especially adapted to a single Paleolithic diet over and above the vegetarian diets characteristic of the last thirty million years of primate evolution.

There are also those who follow the " Raw Meat Diet ", otherwise known as the " Raw, Paleolithic Diet ", which is a raw version of the ( cooked ) Paleolithic Diet, incorporating large amounts of raw animal foods such as raw meats / organ-meats, raw seafood, raw eggs, and some raw plant-foods, but usually avoiding non-Paleo foods such as raw dairy, grains and legumes.

It is also the first monograph about the Upper Paleolithic of Britain at the national level and it remained the only one on the subject for half a century.

The peoples who used Sangoan tools were hunting and gathering cultures, also known as the Sangoan, who occupied southern Africa in areas where annual rainfall is less than 40 inches ( 1016 mm ) from the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period.

Sautuola, having seen similar images engraved on Paleolithic objects displayed at the World Exposition in Paris the year before, rightly assumed that the paintings might also date from the Stone Age.

The hominin specimens have also been associated with stone tools of the sophisticated Upper Paleolithic tradition typically associated with modern humans, who have nearly quadruple the brain volume () and 2. 6 times greater body mass.

The Paleolithic or Palaeolithic ( from Greek: παλαιός, palaios, " old "; and λίθος, lithos, " stone " lit.

Tool-making artifacts from the Palaeolithic period have been found in present-day North Hamgyong, South P ' yongan, Gyeonggi, and north and south Chungcheong Provinces of Korea., which dates the Paleolithic Age to half a million years ago, though it may have begun as late as 400, 000 years ago or as early as 600, 000-700, 000 years ago.

All generally accepted Paleolithic female figurines are from the Upper Palaeolithic.

The Upper Paleolithic ( or Upper Palaeolithic, Late Stone Age ) is the third and last subdivision of the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age as it is understood in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Middle Paleolithic ( or Middle Palaeolithic ) is the second subdivision of the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age as it is understood in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Lower Paleolithic ( or Lower Palaeolithic ) is the earliest subdivision of the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age.

Ahrenburg culture belongs to a Late Paleolithic and early Mesolithic ( or Epipaleolithic ) cultural complex that started with the glacial recession and the subsequent disintegration of Late Palaeolithic cultures between 15, 000 and 10, 000 calBC.

Yet, when a distinction is made, Epipaleolithic is used for those cultures that were not much affected by the ending of the Ice Age ( like the Natufian and Khiamian cultures of Western Asia ) and the term Mesolithic is reserved for Western Europe where the extinction of the Megafauna had a great impact on the Paleolithic populations at the end of the Ice Age ( like European post-glacial cultures: Azilian, Sauveterrian, Tardenoisian, Maglemosian, etc.

This marks the beginning of the Paleolithic, or Old Stone Age ; its end is taken to be the end of the last Ice Age, around 10, 000 years ago.

The Paleolithic is subdivided into the Lower Paleolithic ( Early Stone Age, ending around 350, 000 – 300, 000 years ago ), the Middle Paleolithic ( Middle Stone Age, until 50, 000 – 30, 000 years ago ), and the Upper Paleolithic.

Stones attached to sticks with strips of leather or animal sinew were being used as hammers by about 30, 000 BCE during the middle of the Paleolithic Stone Age.

John Lubbock kept these divisions in his work Pre-historic Times in 1865 and introduced the terms Paleolithic (" Old Stone Age ") and Neolithic (" New Stone Age ") for them.

Due to the innovation of a three-stage system for African archaeology by John Hilary Goodman and Clarence van Riet Lowe of South Africa in the early 20th century, translations of " Old ," " Middle ," and " New Stone Age " can no longer be used for Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic.

In African archaeology, which applies only from the Sahara southward, Lower Paleolithic is replaced by " Early Stone Age ," Middle Paleolithic is replaced by " Middle Stone Age " and Upper Paleolithic by " Later Stone Age.

Some anthropologists have suggested that hominids and early humans living in the Paleolithic Era may have practiced cannibalism.

* May 26 & June 2 – Geologist Joseph Prestwich and amateur archaeologist John Evans report ( to the Royal Society and Society of Antiquaries of London, respectively ) the results of their investigations of gravel-pits in the Somme valley and elsewhere, extending human history back to what will become known as the Paleolithic Era.

Straw houses have been built on the African plains since the Paleolithic Era.

The history of the world, meaning history of the human world, or human history is the history of humanity from the earliest times to the present, in all places on Earth, beginning with the Paleolithic Era.

However, the roots of civilization reach back to the period before writing — humanity's prehistory in the Paleolithic Era, or " Early Stone Age ".
