The best videos on “Paleolithic” are the ones that are less messy. The first video is a Metro TV live performance of “Petrol (live)”. The images are dark and discolored on purpose and the viewer cannot see the expressions on Tom Ellard’s face but this all adds to the synthetic 80’s quality of the track. The only problem is that the falsetto melody in the 2nd half of the studio version of the song is not on this version. The regular video version of “Petrol” is ... entertaining. The camera follows van through Sydney.

Upper Paleolithic people used new raw materials–ivory, bone, and antler; made new kinds of tools–needles, awls, fishhooks, and harpoons; and made new tools to make tools. Some researchers have tried to reconstruct Upper Paleolithic mentalité and world view, but their hypotheses are difficult to verify, even though such reconstructions may be useful in stimulating thought.[17]

China’s Paleolithic archaeology began with the discovery of Peking Man and the excavations at Zhoukoudian in the 1920s and 1930s. Since then, and the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Paleoanthropological study has made great progress with the discovery of Yuanmou Man (1.7 million BP; Homo erectus) and Lantian Man (600,000 -1.7 million BP; Homo erectus), believed to be much earlier examples than that of Peking Man (500,000 - 300,000 BP; Homo erectus). In addition, fossil remains that have been discovered in Hexian, Tangshan, Jinniushan, Yunxian, Dali, Xujiayao, Dingcun, Liujiang and Maba, give a fairly accurate anthropological record of human evolution in China.

The Paleolithic is characterized by the use of knapped stone tools, although at the time, humans ... used wood and bone tools. Other organic commodities were adapted for use as tools, including leather and vegetable fibers; however, given their nature, these have not been preserved to any great degree.

Caves are the most famous example of Paleolithic shelter, though the number of caves used by Paleolithic peoples is drastically small compared with the number of hominids thought to have lived on earth 500,000 years ago. Most hominids probably never entered a cave in their lives, much less lived in one. Nonetheless, the remains of hominid settlement show interesting patterns. In one cave, a tribe of Homo neanderthalensis kept a hearth fire burning for a thousand years, leaving behind an accumulation of coals and ash. In another cave, post holes in the dirt floor reveal that the residents built some sort of shelter or enclosure with a roof to protect themselves from water dripping on them from the cave ceiling. They often used the rear portions of the cave as middens, depositing their garbage in the back of the cave.

More primitive humans or societies such as the Neanderthals and Homo erectus vanished, and the crudest type of Paleolithic implements vanished. It is not certain whether they were absorbed into the new groups or displaced by them. The Neanderthals for instance may have interbred with modern humans (Homo Sapiens) in Europe and Asia.[12]
