- TIME: From 2 millions of year to about 20.000 years ago

- They live in small groups called tribes.  They were nomads (travelled from one place to another to find food), so they didn´t have a fix house.

- FOOD: They were hunters and they also collect plants and wild fruits.

-HOUSE: They live in caves.... or in huts (like camping tents made with branches and animal skins).

-TRAVELLING: On foot. They carried their belongings on their backs.

- REMAINS and TOOLS: They decorate cavers walls with paintings. They used very simple tools made with stones, wood and animal bones and skins.

Tools were very simple (human shaped knives, arrowheads, made by hitting two rocks together).

They made spears and harpoons.

- TIME: From about 20.000 years ago to 5.500 years ago.

- FOOD:  Little by little they learn to cultivate plants and they start to domesticate some animals.

- HOUSE: Little by little some primivite people stat to build small primitive permanent villages with very simple houses.

- TRAVELLING: People started to domesticate horse which helped people to transport things.

When later primitive people invented the wheel, it was easier to transport things in the first carts. They also invented the sailing boats.

- REMAINS and TOOLS: The later primitive people used more developed tools, they start using metals and clay (a part from stones, wood, and animal skins,...).

   Some remains are clay pots, metal weapons, ... some stone houses..
