Caves can provide shelter and protection from the elements for people. They can also serve as storage areas for food and supplies. Some caves also have historical or cultural significance, attracting tourists and researchers.
Yes, Neolithic people used torches made from materials such as wood, animal fat, and plant fibers. These torches provided light and heat, making them useful for activities such as hunting or exploring caves.
People who search caves are commonly referred to as spelunkers or cavers. They are individuals who explore caves for either recreational purposes or scientific research.
Some Stone Age people did live in caves, but not all. The use of caves as shelters varied depending on the region and the time period. Other common types of dwellings used by Stone Age people include huts made of wood, animal hides, and other natural materials.
People have used caves for shelter, storage, religious ceremonies, burial sites, and as art canvases for cave paintings. Caves have also been used as tourist attractions and for recreational activities like cave exploring and spelunking.
Not all people in the Paleolithic age lived in caves because they had diverse lifestyles and living arrangements. Some people preferred to live in open-air camps, temporary shelters, or structures made from mammoth bones and hides. Caves were used by some groups for shelter, but they were not the exclusive or typical living environment for all Paleolithic people.
Most caves are small but some are very large and complex. There is no standard size and finding an "average" is not very useful.
Caves are generally natural by definition! In prehistoric times and depending on their locations and characteristics some caves were used as homes and/or ritual sites by early tribes. Others were no doubt useful as dens for wild animals. Don't forget though that firstly, most caves are only in limestone uplands so only useful to those living in the area; and secondly, most caves are not habitable.
It is difficult to provide an exact number of people living in caves worldwide as it varies by location and circumstances. In some regions, there are still communities that reside in caves, typically due to economic and social reasons. However, this number is relatively small compared to the global population living in more conventional housing.
Suitable caves have been human habitats in the past, or been used as stores. Active caves are conduits taking water from the hills to their resurgences (springs) so some provide water supplies. Nowaday caves are visitid for recreation, scientific study or as tourist attractions. Biologically they offer shelter or roosts to some animals, and permanent homes to other, highly-specialised creatures.
The majority of Spanish people have not lived in caves since the Neolithic Period. Presumably, they left the caves so that they could grow crops in the sunlight.
Some Stone Age people did live in caves, but not all. The use of caves as shelters varied depending on the region and the time period. Other common types of dwellings used by Stone Age people include huts made of wood, animal hides, and other natural materials.
They made people dig the caves with their bare hands to get chalk and flint, which was used to make roads and to build houses. There was also a hellfire club in the caves.
Caves.
Cavemen were early humans who lived in prehistoric times, around 2.5 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago. They were known for their use of stone tools, hunting and gathering lifestyle, and basic social structures. They did not have advanced technologies like we do today.
They are called "speleologists". The activity of exploring caves is called "Spelunking".
