	Paleolithic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Paleolithic or Palaeolithic (Greek παλαιός paleos=old and λίθος lithos=stone or the 'Old Stone Age') was the first period in the development of human technology of the Stone Age.
		Lower Paleolithic (2,500,000 BC - 120,000 BC, approx.): This was the time of the hand axe-industries.
		Upper Paleolithic (30,000 BC - 10,000 BC, approx.): The technological changes of the transition from Middle to Upper Paleolithic have led some to speculate that human language first fully developed at this time.

	Paleolithic diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As such, this early version of the paleolithic diet recommended such foods as skim milk, whole grain bread, brown rice, and potatoes prepared without fat, on the argument that such foods have the same nutritional properties as paleolithic foods.
		It is common practice among paleolithic eaters that when cooking, unconventional cooking means should be avoided, such as the use of microwave ovens, and that foods are cooked just enough to kill any harmful bacteria that may be present.
		One criticism of the Paleolithic diet is that it is possible that the human body has indeed evolved to some extent since early man. Small changes in the human body could still have occurred within the time frame from early in the paleolithic up until recent times.

	Paleolithic Art - MSN Encarta
		Paleolithic art was first discovered in the 1860s, when French paleontologist Edouard Lartet found portable decorated objects in caves and rock shelters in southwestern France.
		Rubble had previously blocked the entrance to this cave, and Paleolithic deposits in the rubble indicated that the cave paintings were of considerable age.
		Paleolithic art usually is classified as either figurative—that is, depicting animals or humans, or nonfigurative, taking the form of signs and symbols.

	Japanese Paleolithic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Paleolithic populations of Japan, as well as the later Jomon populations, appear to relate to an ancient Paleo-Asian group which occupied large parts of Asia before the expansion of the populations characteristic of today's people of China, Korea, Japan, or Vietnam.
		It is estimated that 10 to 20% of the genetic capital of the Japanese population today derives from aboriginal Paleolithic-Jomon ancestry, the remainder coming from later population contributions from the continent, especially during the Yayoi period.
		The study of the Japanese Paleolithic period is characterized by a high level of stratigraphic information due to the volcanic nature of the archipelago: large eruptions tend to cover the islands with levels of ash, which are easily datable and can be found throughout the country as a reference.

		PALEOLITHIC PERIOD [Paleolithic period] pāand180;lēelĬth´Ĭk, -lēō-, păland180;- or Old Stone Age, the earliest period of human development and the longest phase of mankind's history.
		By far the most outstanding feature of the Paleolithic period was the evolution of the human species from an apelike creature, or near human, to true Homo sapiens (see human evolution).
		In the Upper Paleolithic period Neanderthal man disappears and is replaced by a variety of Homo sapiens such as Cro-Magnon man and Grimaldi man. This, the flowering of the Paleolithic period, saw an astonishing number of human cultures, such as the Aurignacian, Gravettian, Perigordian, Solutrean, and Magdalenian, rise and develop in the Old World.

	Paleolithic and Neolithic Art
		While the Paleolithic era refers to the "old stone age," the entire time period during which human beings were making tools of stone, art begins at approximately 35,000 bce a time at which human beings seem to have circled the globe.
		The time frame for "paleolithic art" can be described from 35,000 bce to aproximately 12,000 bce when people lived in hunter-gatherer nomadic tribes and prior to the development of agriculture.
		The polychrome painting above, of a "cow and a horse," is a paleolithic cave painting from the caves at Lascaux, in the Dordogne region of France.

	Paleolithic Age in Anatolia and Asia Minor
		Paleolithic Age which is the first phase of Prehistory covers the longest period of time among all levels of civilizations.
		One major development of this period was that the human had learned to control the fire which they used for cooking and heating their caves and also for protection from the wild animals.
		However, towards the end of the Paleolithic Age, human produced some art as well, they painted their cave walls with the depiction of their everyday lives, such as hunting scenes, symbolic paintings related to fertility, and wild animals.

		PALEOLITHIC ART [Paleolithic art], art of the most recent ice age.
		In most Paleolithic caves animal figures (mainly horses, bison, cattle, and hinds) predominate, suggesting that the art may have had ritual significance related to hunting; there are few group or hunting scenes, however, and human figures are extremely rare.
		Drawn with vitality and the elegance of great simplicity, the animals are the masterworks of prehistoric art and are of an accuracy that provides invaluable evidence to paleozoologists.

	INTRODUCTION TO THE PALEOLITHIC DIET
		Paleolithic Diet Theory presents a fully integrated, holistic, comprehensive dietary theory combining the best features of all other dietary theories, eliminating the worst features and simplifying it all.
		Paleolithic Diet buffs refer to the new foods as Neolithic foods and the old as Paleolithic Diet foods.
		There is now a realization that the low fat diet theory of the 90’s doesn’t often work (it has about a 6% success rate like most other diets) and that the vast majority of the Western population need to increase their omega 3 intake and decrease their omega 6 intake.

		Paleolithic Age, also known to be the old stone age, begins somewhere between 2 million years ago and ends 10.000 years before our time.
		The early man in the Paleolithic age did not know to farm and raise crops but lived on picking up vegetables, fruit and on hunting.
		The fact that in Paleolithic Age, the Asia Minor is extremely rich in fossils and fragments of human beings and animals, of stone, of bone and of vegetation, as well as of works of art reveals that Anatolian land was intensely inhabited during this period.

	Paleolithic Nutrition
		The Paleolithic lasted from about 200 000 years ago to about 12 000 years ago and was characterized by a hunting and gathering lifestyle for humans.
		Sodium consumption is about eight times that of the Paleolithic and this overabundance of Na along with an very low consumption of most minerals and vitamins not surprisingly has serious consequences for health.
		Since we are still a Paleolithic species, adapted to eating only wild foods, it is difficult to justify the consumption of anything other than an overall balance of triglyceride/phospholipid types in an evolutionary sense.

	Paleolithic Diet
		There is one critical aspect of any diet that determines whether it is the healthiest form of eating - this is not merely in the selection of foods, but in the proportion of carbohydrate, protein and fat that is consumed.
		In choosing foods for the Paleolithic Diet, as currently described, one cannot be assured of staying consistently in either one of these categories.
		Most persons who use the Paleolithic Diet will probably maintain a normal weight, because it is difficult to over consume carbohydrates with the restrictions given.

	What exactly is the 'Paleolithic diet'? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The 'Paleolithic Era' was the period commonly known as 'the Stone Age'.
		Analysis of skeletons of Paleolithic people shows that they were generally tall and strongly-built, as a result of their diet and physical activity.
		Although there is little doubt that the potential of the Paleolithic diet (or at least of some aspects of this diet) to improve the health of people in developed nations is worthy of further research, it is probably inappropriate (at least at this stage) to recommend widespread adoption of the diet.

	Paleolithic Nutrition
		He makes the point that the less you eat like your ancestors, the more susceptible you'll be to coronary heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many other "diseases of civilization."1 To chart the right direction for improving your current or future nutrition, you have to understand--and often adopt--the diet of the past.
		Based on our evolutionary and paleolithic diets, it's clear that modern diets are on the wrong track--and that our diets are not satisfying our genetic requirements.
		Paleolithic diets provide those clues and give us a sound foundation to build on, perhaps to protect and prime our genes even further.

		At present, the adherents of this theory seem to be primarily concerned with marshaling arguments in favor of the long-term stability of the languages and cultures of Europe.
		The ancient migrations of these Paleolithic wanderers can still be seen reflected in the Y chromosomes of their male descendants.
		This suggests that the Upper Paleolithic was spread primarily by small bands of hunters who traveled fast and light, taking wives as opportunity afforded whenever their wanderings brought them far enough south to make contact with existing settlements.

	Longevity/Health in Ancient Paleolithic vs Neolithic Peoples
		Perhaps the most reliable conclusion to be drawn from the data here is that while diet is a significant influence on longevity, it is only part of the mix, and perhaps not as powerful a determinant as other factors.
		Paleolithic females died younger than males due to the stresses of pregnancy and childbirth while still carrying the burdens of food-collecting and moving camp.
		However, zinc levels were on a par with those of modern times (a mineral that typically is gotten in the largest quantities from animal foods) strongly suggesting it was coming from fish, since red meat consumption was low, and the zinc levels found are beyond the amounts possible from plant-food consumption only.

	Early Culture (Post Diaspora Upper Paleolithic)
		However, such an explanation can not be easily accepted since it would be in distinct contradiction with the following facts: the cultural evolution has been proceeding non stop and is even conspicuously accelerated in the last millennias; there is a lack of dependence on the mode of life which might include the possible selective agents.
		But earlier, from the first appearance of Aurignacian markings in the caves, the print of the hand, engraved or outlined as a negative in red or fl paint, appears on the cave walls either alone, in groups of hands, or as an element associated with animals, notations, or symbolic forms.
