Also known as Palaeolithic, Palaeolithic Age, Palaeolithic Era, Palaeolithic Period, Paleolithic Age, Paleolithic Period, Paleolithic Era

从人类能制造并使用工具开始，到距今约1.2万年前更新世结束的史前时代

AI overview

The Paleolithic was the earliest period of human history, lasting from the emergence of our species until around 10,000 years ago, when people survived by hunting animals and gathering wild plants. It matters because it represents the foundation of human culture and creativity, as evidenced by remarkable achievements like the oldest known figurative paintings created 40,000–52,000 years ago in Indonesia.

旧石器时代（英語：Paleolithic age）是石器时代的早期阶段，一般划定此时期为距今约260万年或250万年（能人首次制造出石器）至1.2万年前（开始普及），地质时代属于上新世晚期至更新世。其时期划分一般采用三分法，即旧石器时代早期、中期和晚期，大体上分别对应于人类体质进化的能人和直立人阶段、早期智人阶段、晚期智人阶段。旧石器时代之后为中石器时代。旧石器时代的人类通常以原始族群的形式聚居在一起，并通过收集植物和猎取野生动物维生。尽管在此时代内人类也使用木质和骨质工具，但旧石器时代的典型标志是使用了借由敲打石头制成的石质工具。尽管其他材料，如皮革、植物纤维等亦适合制成工具使用，但由于其性质使然，此类材料未能有更广泛的应用。在旧石器时代期间，人类在早期的能人和智人基础上向解剖学意义上的现代人大幅度进化。在旧石器时代后期(特别是中晚期)，人类开始了最早的艺术创作，并开始涉足宗教、精神领域，如葬礼和仪式。
