Palaeolithic. Beginning with the emergence of man and the manufacture of the most ancient tools some 2 1/2 to 3 million years ago, the Palaeolithic period lasted through most of the Pleistocene Ice Age until the final retreat of the ice sheets in about 8300 B. C. [Before Christ] It is generally subdivided into : Lower Palaeolithic, with the earliest forms of man(Australopithecus and Homo Erectus), and the predominance of Core tools of Pebble Tool, Handaxe and Chopper type; Middle Palaeolithic, the era of Neanderthal Man and the predominance of Flake-tool industries(e. g. Mousterian) over most of Eurasia; Upper Palaeolithic(starting perhaps as early as 38, 000 B. C.), with Homo Sapiens, Blade-and-Burin industries and the Cave Art of western Europe.  5, record 1, English, - Paleolithic
