No, Stonehenge was not constructed before the Paleolithic period. Stonehenge was built during the Neolithic period, with its earliest stones erected around 3000 BC. The Paleolithic period, which is characterized by the use of stone tools by early humans, occurred much earlier, spanning from roughly 2.5 million years ago to about 10,000 BC. Therefore, the construction of Stonehenge is post-Paleolithic, occurring after humans had transitioned to agriculture and settled communities.
