Technology and Change

 For the past few weeks of Term 3, I worked on researching inventions or discoveries during the Stone age Period. We were given choices to pick which era or period to pick from and the one I have chosen is the Stone age. 

 During the stone age period in history, there were some significant technological advancements. Some of the inventions during this time were cave paintings, axes, and clothing. These inventions are still seen and used today. 

An important invention seen during the Stone period was a stone axe. The axe is a primitive made of chipped stone. A blunt axe used for cutting stone. The hand-axe was perhaps the most popular tool of the Stone Age; used for cutting and scavenging purposes. Specifically, the Acheulean hand-axe of the Paleolithic Age predates most, if not all other tools. To make sharp edges on these hand-axes, flaking was used on the hard stone to chip away at it.  The axe overtime updated to much better creative to help humanity gather resource from nature such as chainsaw to gather wood from the trees. he is why this is an important invention in this stone period.

An important invention seen during the stone period was cave painting. Cave art is significant because it was what people in prehistoric times did in order to record history and culture. But, prehistoric cave art was also significant because it also served as a warning to people who were to come later. For example, they could show the way to kill a beast or warn them of a beast. Overtime painting evolved from a rough surface to the proper wall of art with vibrant cool. This is why this an important invention in the stone period. 

An important invention seen during the stone period was clothing. The Stone Age is the first period of human history, so Stone Age people were the first to create clothing. While they had a temperate climate throughout some of the Stone Age, they also went through some ice ages, making warm clothing essential to protect them from the weather. As clothes are now daily essential that humans need to go about in their daily lives.  

During the stone age period, these are some inventions that were discovered during the stone age period.  These are some of the essential and important inventions seen during that period example the axe, cave painting and the clothing. As the things mentioned above are the things widely used in this current day and age but in an advanced state. Since the invention of these creations dating back thousands of years, Gradually as eras come and go. These will keep on evolving as the human mind has no limits and that many possibilities may still lit up and be brought upon in today’s society.
