Describe life during the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age)

Earth’s beginnings can be traced back 4.5 billion years, but human evolution only counts for a tiny speck of its history. The Prehistoric Period or when there was human life before records documented human activity roughly dates from 2.5 million years ago to 1,200 B.C. which was during the old stone age. Earlier people lived in caves, huts or tepees and were hunters and gatherers. They used basic stone and bone tools, as well as crude stone axes, for hunting birds and wild animals. They cooked their prey, including woolly mammoths, deer and bison, using controlled fire. They also fished and collected berries, fruit and nuts.
