During the last Ice Age, Stone Age humans adapted to their environment in several ways:
-
Hunting Techniques: Humans developed more sophisticated hunting methods, using tools like spears and bows to hunt large animals such as woolly mammoths and reindeer. They often worked in groups to increase their chances of a successful hunt.
-
Shelter Construction: To protect themselves from harsh weather, they built shelters using available materials, like animal hides, bones, and wood. Some created temporary camps while following animal migrations, and others constructed more permanent dwellings.
-
Clothing and Tools: They made warm clothing from animal skins and furs to keep warm in the cold climates. Additionally, they created various tools for different purposes, such as scraping, cutting, and piercing, which helped them survive and thrive in their environment.
