Can you imagine Man living without all modern facilities and knowledge? Ancient man had none of the advantages of modern times, and was the primitive prototype of the modern human. The early Man wandered from place to place in search of food about 2.5 million years ago. He lived mainly by hunting, and he killed animals with weapons made of stone. So, this era was called the Old Stone Age, and also the Palaeolithic Era. In those days, animals had the advantage over people.
Animals like the deer and the leopard could run faster than Man. Other animals had sharp claws and teeth to defend themselves, while animals like the elephant and rhinoceros were much stronger than man. Human beings somehow had to find ways to protect themselves, and to kill animals for food. Therefore, they learnt to make weapons from stones, and this marked an important step in their development.
