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.
