Lesson 5
Foundation of Asian Civilizations
Paleolithic Age – Early people used their intelligence to develop technology. Technology refers
to a group’s skill in using tools. Tools made man’s survival easier.
The term “paleothic” originated from the Greek word “palaios” which means old, and “litho”
which means stone.
The prehistoric period is known as the Stone age or the Paleolithic Age who was about 2 million
Years ago.
Mesolithic Age – The transition from Old Stone Age to the New Stone Age is known as the
Mesolithic period or “ Middle stone Age”. During the Mesolithic period, there were changes in
climatic conditions. Changes forced man and animals to adopt themselves to new environment
and conditions.

Neolithic Age – The second phase of the Stone Age is known as the New Stone Age or Neolithic
Age. This began 10,000 years ago. At this time, man made more polished stone tools. They also
made potteries and started to cultivate crops.

It is no the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most
responsive to change. In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their
rivals because the succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.
-Charles Darwin
