2020年12月7日 · The Paleoindian Period (16,000–8000 BC) came toward the end of the Ice Age, a time when the climate warmed and the largest mammals became extinct. Likely having originally migrated from Asia, the first people in Virginia were hunter-gatherers who left behind lithic, or stone, tools, often spearheads.

This timeline of prehistory covers the time from the appearance of Homo sapiens approximately 315,000 years ago in Africa to the invention of writing, over 5,000 years ago, with the earliest records going back to 3,200 BC. Prehistory covers the time from the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) to the beginning of ancient history.

2023年7月26日 · The current view of the Paleo Indian period envisions bands of hunters entering the North American continent around 17,000 years ago (15,000 BCE) by crossing a land bridge that connected eastern Siberia with Alaska. The land bridge was exposed during the Late Pleistocene by continent-sized glaciers, which, when created, drew water from the ...

In 1607, in pursuit of opportunity in a new world, English settlers intruded into an eastern Virginia chiefdom of thirty-two tribes (15,000 to 20,000 people). Its leader then was Wahunsenacawh, whom the new settlers called by his title, Powhatan. At the time of the great northern glaciers, Native Americans followed the game they hunted to Virginia.

Over more than 16,000 years, Virginia Indians transitioned from nomadic bands of hunter gatherers to sedentary farmers. Indian societies evolved from small bands to larger tribal identities and later chiefdoms. This change resulted from innovations in technology, increasing population, and a warming climate.

only a few hundred years after 12,000 BCE, the Paleo Indians appear to have occupied most of the North American continent and the southeast. Since 1960, archeological studies of the river basin projects, as well as statewide studies

By 20,000 years BCE, evidence clearly shows Homo Sapiens inhabited all the major continental land masses of the earth, including Africa, Australia, Eurasia, and the Americas, but excluding Antarctica which has never had a self-sustaining human population for obvious reasons.

Yuchanyan Cave in Hunan province, China, is home to some of the oldest Chinese pottery ever found. In 2009, a report in the Proceedings of the US National Academy of Sciences announced the discovery of a number of ceramic pot sherds at Yuchanyan, dating to 16,000 BCE, which ranks them amongst the oldest Stone Age art in Asia.

to Paleolithic times, c.16,000 BCE. The Cave of La Pasiega (Cueva de La Pasiega) is one of the famous Monte Castillo sites of Franco-Cantabrian Cave art in northern Spain. It belongs to the same network of caves as El Castillo, Las Monedas and Las Chimeneas, and is included in the same UNESCO list of World Heritage sites as the Altamira Cave.

The art, dated to c. 17,000 to c. 15,000 BCE, falls within the Upper Palaeolithic period and was created by the clearly skilled hands of humans living in the area at that time. The region seems to be a hotspot; many beautifully decorated caves have been discovered there.
