Paleolithic Remains
Paleolithic remains refer to artifacts and fossils from the Paleolithic era, which lasted from about 2.6 million years ago to around 10,000 BCE. This period is characterized by the development of early human tools, such as stone blades and hand axes, used by our ancestors, including Homo habilis and Homo erectus. These remains provide insight into the lifestyles, diets, and social structures of early humans.
Archaeologists study Paleolithic remains to understand human evolution and migration patterns. Sites like Lascaux in France and Altamira in Spain contain cave paintings that reveal the artistic expression of early humans. Additionally, the discovery of remains like Neanderthal bones helps researchers learn about the physical characteristics and behaviors of ancient human species.
