Answer »Answer: (a)
Paleolithic people are called as hunter-gatherers. They used stone tools, hand-sized and flaked-off large pebbles for hunting animals. Stone implements are made of a hard rock known as quartzite.
Large pebbles are often found in river terraces. The hunting of large animals would have required the combined effort of a group of people with large stone axes.
We have little knowledge of their language and communication. Their way of life became modified with the passage of time since they made attempts to domesticate animals, make crude pots and grow some plants.
A few Old Stone Age paintings have also been found on rocks at Bhimbetka and other places. The period before 10000 B.C. is assigned to the Old Stone Age.
