Examples of Paleolithic Era in the following topics:
-
- The first humans evolved in Africa during the Paleolithic Era, or Stone Age, which spans the period of history from 2.5 million to about 10,000 BCE.
- Humankind gradually evolved from early members of the genus Homo—
such as Homo habilis,
who used simple stone tools— into fully behaviorally and anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) during the Paleolithic era.
- During the end of the Paleolithic, specifically the Middle and or Upper Paleolithic, humans began to produce the earliest works of art and engage in religious and spiritual behavior, such as burial and ritual.
- Paleolithic humans were nomads, who often moved their settlements as food became scarce.

- However, even the split between pre-modern and modern eras is problematic because it is complicated by the question of how history educators, textbook authors, and publishers decide to categorize what is known as the early modern era, which is traditionally a period between Renaissance and the end of the Age of Enlightenment.
- In the end, whether the early modern era is included in the first or the second part of a world history course frequently offered in U.S. colleges is a subjective decision of history educators.
