AI overview

The Mesolithic is the archaeological period between the end of the last Ice Age and the beginning of farming, when people in Europe and the Middle East still lived as hunter-gatherers. It matters because it represents a crucial transitional time in human history when societies were adapting to a warming climate and eventually developing the agricultural practices that would transform human civilization.
