    The document discusses three major periods in human cultural evolution: the Paleolithic period, Neolithic period, and Age of Metal. The Paleolithic period began around 2.5 million years ago and was characterized by nomadic hunter-gatherer societies using simple stone tools. During the Neolithic period beginning around 10,000 BC, humans transitioned to an agricultural lifestyle and settled into villages. The Age of Metal from around 4000 BC saw the development of bronze, copper and iron tools and weapons, as well as more advanced civilizations.

    As the environment changes, we continuously grow and find ways to make maximize our

    effort as we live. It is very evident in the different stages of human cultural evolution:
    Palaeolithic Period, Neolithic Period, and Age of Metal.
    Palaeolithic
     A term coined by archaeologist John Lubbock in 1865
     Derived from Greek word Greek word, palaios, which means "old"; and, lithos, "stone",
     happened 2.5 million years ago, is also known as "Old Stone Age".
     Due to the cold climate, much of the Stone Age is also called the Ice Age.
     People were nomads and able to use simple tools and weapons made of unpolished stone.
    The caves served as their shelter.
     The time when people discovered to use the fire.
     Human beings in this time were grouped together in small societies such as bands, and
    subsisted by gathering plants and fishing, hunting or scavenging wild animals.
     Also in this era, according to study of Dr. Jesus T. Peralta of NCCA, respect is given to
    age, and individual prowess and ability are recognized. There are no leaders that could be
    said to be above everybody else and whose commands are obeyed without question.
    Neolithic
     A term also coined by archaeologist John Lubbock
     Derived from Greek word “neo” which means new and “lithos” meaning stone or in
    short, the “New Stone Age”
     Happened for about 10,000 B.C
     The period where the Cro Magnon disappeared and the new people who are considered
    the modern man appeared.
     Neolithic Revolution is also called as the First Agricultural Revolution
     During this period, there was a wide-scale transition of many human cultures from a
    lifestyle of hunting and gathering to of agriculture and settlement kind of society which
    eventually led to population increase.
     People depend on domesticated plants and animals. They learned to create such crafts as
    pottery and weaving. They likewise developed boat as means of transportation and for
    fishing as well.
     From being nomads, human began to develop a sedentary type of society of which they
    built-up villages and towns.
     They kept on discovering things for their own convenience. They discovered metals, and
    gradually abandoned stone as the basic element for their instrument and tools.
     This period was known as Age of Metals (4000 B.C – 1500 B.C). The used of metal such
    as bronze, copper, and iron produced a new historical development from the cradle
    civilization of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia including the India, and China which later
    spread throughout Asia.
     There were three stages distinguished within this Age due to the different types of metals
    that were used: The Copper Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.
     Agricultural tools were developed with bronze, military weapons, as well as household
    utensils. Likewise, a more developed social, cultural, political, and economic system
    were improved. Tribes, empires, and state were recognized at this point.
