What animals lived in Stone Age?

Animals of the Stone Age include the cave bear, dire wolf, Glyptodon, marsupial lion, Mastodon, Smilodon and the woolly mammoth. Stone Age animals co-existed with early humans and their ancestors, who by the end of the Stone Age had spread across Eurasia and into The Americas.

Did people in the Stone Age move around a lot?

The answer is yes. The earth’s climate was very different. The world was a much colder place to live on than our modern world. Wild herds of animals roamed the land in search of food, which was scarce at that time. In order for Stone Age people to survive, they had to move with these herds of animals. Old Stone Age people were always on the move.

What are Stone Age animals?

Stone Age Animals are one of the most exciting topics that your Year 3, Year 4 or Year 5 child will learn about at primary school as part of KS2. The Stone Age started 2.5 million years ago and ended around 5,000 years ago. In this time there were many different animals which lived alongside humans.

Could humans survive the Stone Age without the ability to adapt?

Human history is one of extreme climate changes, and without the ability to adapt, we likely wouldn’t have survived as a species. This was particularly true in the Stone Age, the era before the advent of metal technologies when human societies tended to be smaller and more susceptible to traumatic upheaval.

What do Stone Age artifacts tell us about early humans?

Stone artifacts tell anthropologists a lot about early humans, including how they made things, how they lived and how human behavior evolved over time. Early in the Stone Age, humans lived in small, nomadic groups. During much of this period, the Earth was in an Ice Age —a period of colder global temperatures and glacial expansion.
