Prehistoric Art

          It was 4 million years ago that man started to walk on two legs. And back then we, like  monkeys do now, would have used sticks and rocks as tools. But we didn’t make tools. To  make a tool you have to think of a stick as a way to knock fruit of the tree even when there is  no fruit around. But eventually man started to think ahead. And began to create proper tools,  chipping away at sticks and stones to make more ideal tools, and it is at that stage that our  history will begin, in a period we call the Paleolithic Period, or Old Stone Age, which lasted  from 40,000 BCE to 8000 BCE.
