    1) Name two new inventions or methods that were introduced during either the Paleolithic or Neolithic time period.
    - The Paleolithic is characterized by the use of stone tools, although at the time humans also used wood and bone tools. Other organic commodities were adapted for use as tools, including leather and vegetable fibers

    2) How did the invention or method you chose affect the way people lived during that time period?

    - During the Paleolithic, humans grouped together in small societies such as bands, and subsisted by gathering plants and hunting or scavenging wild animals. This helped them, however, due to their nature, these have not been preserved to any great degree
