Beginning around the transition between the middle to upper Paleolithic period, some 80,000 to 70,000 years ago, some hunter-gatherer bands of Homo-Sapiens began to concentrate on hunting a smaller selection of game and gathering a smaller selection of food. This specialization involved creating tools like fishing nets and hooks and bone harpoons for harvesting fish for consumption.

Archaeological features, discarded fish bones and cave paintings provide evidence that fish were important for survival and consumed in significant quantities during this period.

The ancient river Nile was full of fish. Many early fishing methods are clearly illustrated in tomb scenes and drawings found within Eqyptian tombs. By the 12th dynasty, metal hooks with barbs were being used.
