Neolithic vs Paleolithic
Introduction: The Neolithic and Paleolithic arrive from the stone age period they are two separate time period each sharing some aspects from the other and varying from each other. The Paleolithic is a prehistoric period of human history and stand for “old stone age. This time period cover most of its primary tools and and cave paintings. The Neolithic stand for “new stone age” the develop more in craft/technology and basic aspect of live. They can be compare and contrast in various ways but it was the Paleolithic the paved the way for the neolithic era. Among the various ways they are alike and different in some ways, one move from place to place and their society consist of hunter-gatherers (paleolithic) and the

They began building villages to settle down, no more mammoth-bone houses. The area became fertile to grow crops, they made irrigation that cause plants to growth. Neolithic people had it easier than Paleolithic in many aspects. Neolithic culture was evolutionary compare to Neolithic.Because it develop many aspects for society for example: private property, people own their own land, animal domestication, force animal to settle down and breed them, one important element was the burial of people, began to bury the death which became a religious believed to the underground and separate the death from the living. Develop trading exchaging and marriage play an important role because now two people join family, and join goods. They had more water available,crops, houses, they expanded their land.this led to social hierarchy where people began to disthinguis social status based on what they own. They still wore animal clothing just like that Paleolithic. Art style had changed Neolithic discover mural painting (wall painting)l. There architecture method used to build houses was known as the post and lintel
Romana Haider ANTH 1400: Digging thee Past Chapter five How were societies organized? Archeology itself is different from cultural and social anthropology. With social and cultural anthropology it is easier for them to study people and their way of life.
Mesopotamia was the first complex civilization to be developed. Civilizations have been well known by their means of subsistence, types of living, settlement forms, forms of government, economic systems, literacy, social stratification, and other cultural behaviors. E: Geography influenced the rise of civilization because it has to be able to maintain many people. Many civilizations started different bodies of water, because if they want to live, they have to consume water.
Intelligence would blossom more under the Neolithic Period than Paleolithic Period. I would like to be in an era where more innovation occurs and therefore, I would choose to live in the Neolithic
At the end Paleolithic Era means Old Stone Age. The first humans didn't have the technology we have today so they use stones and wood to created their first technology
Technology was in the sense of equipment and tools brought over on boats by the explorers. It dependent on the origin of the explorer on what equipment was brought. The plow to help uproot the ground to plant the numerous plants and vegetables brought over. The Native Americans were not civilized as the Europeans and they lacked a lot of tools to mass produce buildings, houses, boats, and farm the lands. Diseases brought from the settlers such as smallpox killed many Native Americans.
The lower Paleolithic, the middle Paleolithic, and the upper Paleolithic. During this time period, tools were a very essential
They began building houses for themselves which were primarily composed of reeds or mud bricks. Granaries, built by the people in Mesopotamia, were the place where they stored extra grains from their
One pivotal development that lead to humans developing civilizations from hunter-gatherer groups was the Neolithic Revolution. The Neolithic Revolution was a time where humans started developing agriculture. Agriculture is crop development and animal farming for food and animal product. The Neolithic Revolution is important because the development of agriculture allowed many people in a given area to focus on skills other than farming. This is what allowed many people to develop skills such as writing, pottery, tool development, and changes in gender roles.
4) The Stone Age was the first known period where humans began using rock and other nonmetallic materials such as bones and leather to create tools. 5) Recognized as the Old Stone Age, the Paleolithic is noted to be the time period when humans began to evolve. 6) After the
Ever since the emergence of mankind, humans have always prioritized their search for food and water. Even today the need for sustenance is still prominent; however, methods for producing it have evolved over time. The Paleolithic people went about scavenging, hunting, fishing, and gathering on their quest for food. The Neolithic Revolution marked a transition from such practices into the “cultivations of crops and the domestication of animals.” (Strayer, pg.12) Even after thousands of years, although techniques have changed, the basic concept of agricultural cultivation has still remained similar.
Archaic period sites across Mesoamerica resemble the same building methods and technology used by other groups spread throughout the Southwestern and Southeastern regions of North America. Artist 's depiction of an Archaic period village.[224] Paleo and Archaic era groups carried influenced technologies from these groups with them as they migrated into the Mesoamerican region. These were the hunter-gather groups that were beginning to settle and merge into archaic settlements. These groups learned and developed near similar technological concepts and ideas within their own cultural practices.
The location of the groups is different from each other in a few ways one being the northeast people lived around Wisconsin while the northeast lived around texas, They had some crosses in the land but mainly were not in the exact location. There are many differences between the plains and the northeast, like housing and location. At the same time, things like their gender roles and food sources are
Yet other historians believe that certain challenges (possibly environmental) forced humans to develop an organized and civilized society. Overall, however, all theories agree on the fact that civilizations were a response to sustain the needs and beliefs of growing human societies. For example, these establishments allowed for an emphasis on a distinct religious structure, a social division based on affluence, as well as an economy that focused largely on trade with neighboring peoples. Such aspects would not have been present in prior small agricultural settlements, since they are much smaller (in size comparison) and less complex. 2.
Individuals or groups of people have always had one thing in mind and that is surviving. Surviving means able to expand themselves without losing their traditional social structure and trying to fit in a larger network. Keeping track of who you are and come from holds the cultural meaningful by holding the group together. The Neolithic Revolution has been able to evolve and become a crucial part of being human by lineage exogamy, patrilineal, and matrilineal descent, and kinship and new reproductive technologies. Lineage exogamy means that lineage members must look for their marriages partners in other lineages.
The tools were used for agriculture, hunting and food preparation. The tools were made from different kinds of stone, being called the Stone Age. During the Paleolithic period, humans were hunters, depending on what they could find to survive. It could be studied from imperishable objects of now-extinct cultures, that were made from flint, stone, bone and antler.
