Answer:

• The Paleolithic Era (or Old Stone Age) is a period of prehistory from about 2.6 million years ago to around 10000 years ago.
• The Neolithic Era (or New stone Age) began around 10,000 BC and ended between 4500 and 2000 BC in various parts of the world.
• In the Paleolithic era, there were more than one human species but only one survived until the Neolithic era.
• Paleolithic humans lived a nomadic lifestyle in small groups. They used primitive stone tools and their survival depended heavily on their environment and climate.
• Neolithic humans discovered agriculture and animal husbandry, which allowed them to settle down in one area.
