Revision 2034546 of "Paleolithic" on urwiki

The Paleolithic era is followed by the [[وسطی زمانہ پتھر|Mesolithic]]. The date of the Paleolithic–Mesolithic boundary may vary by locality as much as several thousand years.
During the Paleolithic period, humans grouped together in small societies such as bands, and subsisted by gathering plants and fishing, hunting or scavenging wild animals.<ref name="McClellan">{{سانچہ:Cite book|author=McClellan|url=https://books.google.com/?id=aJgp94zNwNQC&printsec=frontcover#PPA6|title=Science and Technology in World History: An Introduction|location=Baltimore, Maryland|publisher=JHU Press|year=2006|isbn=0-8018-8360-1}}</ref> The Paleolithic is characterized by the use of knapped [[حجر|stone]] [[اوزار|tools]], although at the time humans also used [[لکڑی|wood]] and [[ہڈی|bone]] tools. Other organic commodities were adapted for use as tools, including [[چمڑہ|leather]] and vegetable [[ریشہ|fibers]]; however, due to their nature, these have not been preserved to any great degree. Surviving artifacts of the Paleolithic era are known as paleoliths.
