CAS AN 101 Chapter Notes - Chapter 9: Brain Size, Mousterian, Lower Paleolithic
Document Summary
Important terms to remember from chapter 9: acheulian - the paleolithic age saw the development of numerous tools that made life easier and the development of the human race more advanced. One example of this is the acheulean, which related to an entire industry devoted to the creation of the hand ax, and that quickly be- came a part of the lower paleolithic culture throughout europe. This type of industry dates to between 1. 5 million and 150k years ago. Basically, paleoanthropology uses this concept to describe our modern day species of. Homo sapiens, as us having our roots in a people group that had an appearance that was con- sistent of many of the same features now seen in humans today. It is said that anatomically modern humans actually evolved from archaic homo sapiens at some point during the middle. Paelolithic age, which dates to roughly 200,000 years ago.
