Prehistoric Spain: Paleolithic to Metal Ages

The document summarizes prehistoric periods in Spain, beginning with the Paleolithic period when early humans hunted and gathered as nomadic clans. Notable cave paintings from this time can be found at sites like Altamira, Tito Bustillo, and Valtorta. The Neolithic period saw the rise of sedentary farming and animal husbandry in small villages. The Metal Ages began the use of copper and bronze, with important groups like the Millares people and Argar people emerging near copper deposits and constructing megalithic monuments.
