Shelter in caves.
During the Palaeolithic Period, hunter-gatherer societies led a nomadic life, reliant on natural sources of the environment: seasons during which fruits, nuts, roots and bulbs would grow, and regions that were home to animals they could hunt. They sought shelter in caves or rock outcroppings to protect themselves, from the elements and natural dangers. Humans’ control over fire made it a central aspect of their lives, with its warmth allowing them to survive the harsh conditions of the ice ages and protecting them from wild animals, thus helping them to expand their living areas.
