Essential Questions
How did people obtain food during the Paleolithic Age? What problems resulted from this method?What discovery signified the beginning of the Neolithic Age and what changes came about as a result of this discovery? Slide3
I. Stable Food Supply
Paleolithic Food
The Paleolithic people were hunter gathers, meaning that they eat mostly meat, fish, shellfish, leafy vegetables and fruits from wild plants, nuts, and insects in
varying portions.
Neolithic Food
No longer depended on hunting and gathering.
Domesticated animals
Raising and using them for their own purposes.
Ex. Sheep/goats/cattle for meat. Milk from goats/cattle. Mules to carry heavy loads & pull plows.
Plant seeds and harvest crops.
Over time learned which seeds produced most crops in area where they lived.
Domestication of animals + farming = agriculture =stable food supply Slide4
II. Shelter
