How did Early Man live?
It depends on how far back you want to go, if you mean like when we were cave-men (And women) I have an answer for you. They caught fish, berries, ate nuts, hunted and ate plants. They used bones and tusks and deer skins to make tents. Some cave-men carved pictures of pregnant women on stone because they thought it would bring them good luck. Cave-people decorated their houses (Or caves) by painting pictures of the animals they had hunted, the paint was made from powdered rock. To get light, cave-people used lamps made of burning moss or fur soaked in animal fat. They made their weapons by carving axes, knifes and spears out of rock. Sometimes they made traps with spikes in the ground and covered them with grass so animals would fall in. When they spotted a herd they would plan how to get all the animals without anyone getting hurt. One of the mightiest creatures that they hunted was the Wooly Mammoth, this creature provided them with everything they needed. When a soldier died, fellow cave-men buried him with his weapons and jewelry. I hope I answered your question.
