What were Cavemen really like?

Wow! Cavemen were very important. I will explain how these cavemen lived back in ancient times. Cavemen find shelter in caves. The cavemen are very strong and are creative survivors. I will also give you interesting facts about them.

I notice that cavemen work very hard to survive. For example, the cavemen provided seasonal shelter and temporary camp. They would move from place to place to hunt for food so they can survive. Cavemen build their own shelter and they never give up on what they are doing to survive. Cavemen have several ways of building shelters for themselves. They stretch the skin over animal bone to make tents to provide protection from the cold weather. They also built shelters from lean-tos and creating earthen mounds. Lean-tos were similar to bricks and didn't break easily making it ideal for cavemen to use for construction. Shelter was vital to their existence. They used shelter to rest, stay warm, and hide from ferocious predators.

They built their shelters in an intelligent way. The cavemen made their shelters deep into caves, so when stray predators wanted to look for victims to eat, they would eventually give up before they meet with the end of the cave. Shelters built by cavemen were generally hidden making it difficult for anyone to find. Cavemen existed throughout a wide area of Europe during a glacial period. Neanderthals are one particular species known to have had a knowledge in cave living. A cave suitable for living is

    “The Cavemen in the Hedges” is a short story that contains many underlying themes of psychoanalytical theory. Themes of the “id,” a selfish, primal, version of one’s self concerned only with physical desires; the “superego,” part of a person’s psyche that is only worried about ideals and morals; and the “ego,” the rational part of the brain that attempts to satisfy both the id and superego natures make up an immense proportion of the breakdown of this story. Repression and other psychological defense mechanisms are also very important in the analysis as well.…

    The Olmec tools and buildings they built were very cavemen like. Obviously the stone tools and buildings were important to their survival. Because the tools were important the Olmec had to keep making them and were located in markets in the town(center of exhibit).

    Over the years, conversations of the topics of Plato’s writings arise. The teachings from Socrates of the “Parable of the Sun, Myth of the Cave and Divided Line” have become very popular to the world.

    Long before men built such imposing structures as Harlech Castle, they constructed other simpler fortifications. In fact, men have always built some kind of fortification to protect themselves, their families, and their tribes against danger, whether from animals or from other men. The caveman's cave could be used for defense. In prehistoric times, as scientists can tell from ruins they have discovered, men used hills or ledges, and piles of earth and stone to make fortified places to defend themselves against…

    Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons differ from earlier people because Neanderthals survived harsh winters by living in caves or shelters made of wood and animal skin, and they were resourceful. Cro-Magnons made new tools with specialized uses, planned their hunts, advanced skill in speaking languages, planned more difficult projects, and studied animal habits and stalked their prey. Cro-Magnons hunting skills allowed them to survive more easily, so this may have caused a faster growing population rate and with time, replacing the Neanderthals.…

    Hunters and gatherers lived very different lives from Agriculturalists. I mean in some ways they were similar, but mostly they were complete opposites. Like how different their eating habits were. One had a large diverse diet where the other lived on the same thing day after day. Another would be with how population differs so much with the amount of children each way of life can support.
