  4. 1. During the Old Stone Age, (usually known as The Paleolithic Era) are known for their knapped stone tools and bone tools to form weapons for hunting animals or eating utensils made from wood. By the end of the Paleolithic Era, the Neolithic developed some of these tools and more.

    2. They needed the tools to kill animals to eat and need the utensils to eat the animals WITH, in a way it made their lives more simple (not as simple as ours, per se)

  5. During the Paleolithic Era, Nomads were the first to make simple tools and weapons. Nomads were also the first to master the use of fire as well as develop a language.

    These inventions greatly affected the way people lived during this time period. Simple tools were used to make various utensils as well as weapons. The use of fire greatly impacted the way people lived because they never used fire before and now they had a form of heat which obviously helped their civilization heat things as well as prepare different foods etc.
