Describe the picture of Paleolithic daily life provided by artifacts used for such activities as hunting and transportation
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. From 10,000 to 8000 BCE, the ice covering the Northern Hemisphere receded, and, as temperatures warmed, areas once covered by ice and snow developed into grassy plains and forests. Hunters accordingly developed the bow and arrow (suited for long-distance in the new landscape) and fashioned dugout boats out of logs to facilitate fishing, which became a major food source. They also domesticated dogs to help with the hunt and soon other animals as well—particularly goats and cattle.
2. Perhaps most important, people began to cultivate edible grasses, and, gradually, farming replaced hunting as the primary means of sustaining life. The great rivers of the Middle East and Asia provided a consistent source of water, and people soon developed irrigation techniques that fostered agriculture and animal husbandry.
3. As production outgrew necessity, members of the community were freed to occupy themselves in other endeavors—complex food preparation (bread, cheese, and so on), construction, military affairs, and religion.
