Living in stone age

The stone age people are one of the earliest humans. In Scotland there are still some stone age houses obviously there was no electric . They had big brains and small bodies. 10 ,000 years ago humans began to grow crops of wheat and other grains to eat, and keep animals for there milk and meat. They covered their caves in paintings, they made different colours of red, orange and yellow by mixing clay and minerals with either cave water, animal fats, vegtable fats, blood or urine to make black they use charcoal.Stone age isn’t the only period of time there was lots more like iron age, ice age and the bronze age.The cold climate during the ice age made clothing essential. Hunter gatherers may have stayed in caves but probably not for long.

Early humans may have used art as a way of helping themselves in their struggle for survival. Stone age people eat raw meat and sometimes they use charcoal to cook also men and boys find food and girls and woman pick berries and go fishing. The stone age was a time in history when early humans used tools and weapons made out of stone. Between 7 and 6 million years ago , a group of apes began to walk on two legs.

It was the latest from when the first stone tools were made, by OUR ancestors, about 3.4 million years ago until, the introduction of metal tools a few thousand years ago. The stone age was 20,000 years ago.
