Neolithic and Paleolithic Societies

In arts, Paleolithic people painted caves, while Neolithic people made pottery and carved wood. Food was obtained through hunting and gathering in the Paleolithic age, whereas farming began in the Neolithic age. Adaptation involved fire-making and simple tools in the Paleolithic age, while Neolithic people built houses and used metals.
