La Gravette, France –
This happened 70,000 to 12,000 years
ago. According to National in La Gravette,
France, the common people who stayed there
were the Neanderthals. The Neanderthals
survived in Conte cliffs. In La Gravette,
France the Neanderthals did not hunt much.
The shelter of the Neanderthals was a cave.
The tools they used were wood to make fires
so they could stay warm and for lighting
purposes. The skills Neanderthals did have,
were not very good talents, one of which
included building a fire. Not that they were
bad skills, but they could have had more helpful skills. They used clay to
make different things. They also used sewing needles for sewing clothes.
I found this information in National Geographic.
Border Cave, South Africa-
In Border Cave the climate
was hot. Early people hunted the eland near the Border Cave.
Discoveries have been made showing how the early humans used their
resources. They used them by covering the hard cave floor with grass to
sleep on and making campfires for cooking and for a light source. The
findings in Border Cave dated back to about 40,000 years ago. (Our
