WHAT DOES LOWER PALAEOLITHIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lower Palaeolithic

Lower Paleolithic

The Lower Paleolithic is the earliest subdivision of the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age. It spans the time from around 2.5 million years ago when the first evidence of craft and use of stone tools by hominids appears in the current archaeological record, until around 300,000 years ago, spanning the Oldowan and Acheulean lithics industries. The Lower Paleolithic is followed by the Middle Paleolithic, which sees the appearance of the more advanced prepared-core tool-making technologies such as the Mousterian. Whether the earliest control of fire by hominids dates to the Lower or to the Middle Paleolithic remains an open question. Further information: Gelasian, Homo habilis and Olduvai Gorge The Lower Paleolithic begins with the Gelasian, some 2.5 million years ago with the appearance of the Homo genus, possibly developing out of australopithecine forebears. These early members of the Homo genus had primitive tools, summarized under the Oldowan horizon, which remained dominant for the best part of a million years, from about 2.5 to 1.7 million years ago.
