and so did Cave Man.
But did they always live in caves
and set up homes in caves? From the bestselling novel “Clan of the Cave Bear” to the 1981 movie “Caveman“,
pop-culture tends to misrepresent prehistoric people as cave dwelling brutes. But even
the most speculative recreations of early human society are based on a few essential
facts. For instance, cavemen made their homes in caves, right? Well, not exactly. According to archeological evidence, prehistoric human ancestors
such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo erg aster were nomadic .Rather than
settle in one place for long periods of time, they were constantly on the move in search
of food and shelter. In other words, the term “caveman” is a bit misleading, since our
stone age ancestors did not set up permanent homes in caves. Then why are prehistoric people so often referred to as cavemen? There are several
reasons. First, much evidence of prehistoric civilization is found in caves because the
natural shelter helps preserve artifacts. The earliest cave dwellers date to the Paleolithic period, around 2.5 million years ago,
and evidence suggests that these ancient nomads used caves as temporary shelters
during their seasonal wanderings. The caves often lay on valley slopes and provided
excellent views of animal migration routes. . Even Neanderthals, who lived in relatively
cold regions of ancient Europe, used caves only for temporary shelter. . But permanent dwellings came about
only with the invention of agriculture and animal husbandry. Before those world-changing
inventions, prehistoric people were forced to follow their food away from the warmth
and shelter of the cave.Extensive Reading1.The underlined word “nomadic” in paragraph 2 can be best explained as ?
