Lower Paleolithic cultures refer to the earliest known human cultures dating back to approximately 2.6 million to 300,000 years ago.
These cultures are characterized by the use of primitive stone tools and the presence of Homo erectus and early Homo sapiens populations.
Lower Paleolithic cultures were primarily nomadic and focused on hunting and gathering for sustenance. They had limited social organization and likely lived in small groups.
The stone tools of this period, such as handaxes and choppers, were simple but essential for tasks like butchering animals and cutting vegetation.
Lower Paleolithic cultures laid the foundation for human technological and behavioral advancements.
