Answer:
1. Innovations in Stone Tools
2. Bone Tools Eased Hunting and Sewing
3. Neanderthals Controlled Fire 100,000 Years Ago
4. Early Artistic Talent
5. First People in America
Explanation:
1. Between 2.5 million and 1.5 million years ago, early Paleolithic hominins made simple tools that resembled broken pieces of rock.
2. Anatomically-modern humans appeared about 100,000 years ago. They evolved into groups of Homo sapiens — the human species to which all modern humans belong — which began to use and make bone tools about 40,000 years ago.
3. Neanderthal hominins controlled fire, to a basic extent, 100,000 years ago. Scientists still do not know their method of producing fire, but they assume it involved striking rocks to produce sparks.
4. Humans produced their first works of art during the Upper Paleolithic. Archaeologists have dated cave paintings in southwest Europe to between 15,000 and 10,000 years ago. Humans fashioned bone, mammoth ivory, and stones into figurines about 228,000 to 21,000 years ago at sites in central Europe, southern Russia and, central Asia.
5. Paleolithic Homo sapiens discovered America. However, there is a controversy about the origins and timing of their settlement.
