    Did you know?Mammoths are the ancestors of elephants. They became extinct a
    million years ago. Why did this happen? Scientists used to think it was due to climate
    change: the weather became hotter and the mammoths could not adapt.However, other
    scientists have discovered that mammoths disappeared gradually, as the land became
    populated by humans. Was the extinction of mammoths caused by hunting?

    Investigate: look for information in books and on websites about another animal species
    that became extinct during the Palaeolithic period. Below there is a worksheet to enable

    entrances were covered by stones and branches for protection against cold and rain.
    Life in the Palaeolithic Age
    The first human beings lived from hunting, fishing and gathering wild fruit. They hunted
    mammoths, bears, elephants, deer, bison and other animals. They used their meat for
    food and their skins for clothes.They were nomadic: they did not live in a fixed place.
    They followed the animals they hunted, and searched for places where water, food and
    shelter were available. They lived outdoors, in caves, or in wood huts. They were
    organised in small tribes, made up of members of the same family.Palaeolithic means
    Stone Age. Men and women made tools and objects of stone. They used them to hunt
    and cut animals' skins and meat.Fire was discovered about half a million years ago. It
    was an extremely important discovery. Early human beings used fire to heat their caves,
    cook food and drive wild animals away.
