Answer 1

The correct response is: Both time periods are part of prehistoric times.

While both the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods contributed to human history significantly, the other options do not accurately represent similarities between the two. The Paleolithic period (often referred to as the Old Stone Age) is characterized by hunter-gatherer societies and the use of simple stone tools, while the Neolithic period (or New Stone Age) is marked by the development of agriculture, the establishment of permanent settlements, and advancements in pottery and tool-making. Though clay pots became important in the Neolithic era, they were not a feature of the Paleolithic period. Similarly, permanent homes are a hallmark of the Neolithic era rather than the Paleolithic.
