What is Paleolithic and mesolithic

Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age):

The Paleolithic Age is the earliest period of human history, lasting from about 2.5 million years ago to around 10,000 BCE. During this time, humans were primarily hunter-gatherers and depended on nature for food. They used rough, unpolished stone tools and lived in caves or temporary shelters. Fire was discovered and used for cooking and protection. This period shows the beginning of human culture and survival skills.

Mesolithic Age (Middle Stone Age):

The Mesolithic Age followed the Paleolithic Age, roughly from 10,000 BCE to 8,000 BCE (in some regions longer). It is considered a transitional phase between hunting-gathering and settled life. People started using microliths (small, sharp stone tools), and there was improvement in hunting techniques. They also began domesticating animals, fishing, and forming small settlements. This period marks the gradual shift toward agriculture.
