What is the verb in caves may have been the first human dwellings?

How have people used caves?

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.


How do caves show important clues about the past?

Geologically, their sediments and speleothems preserve palaeoclimate evidence. Palaeontologically, many caves preserve animal remains. Archaeologically, some caves preserve human remains, artefacts or art.


In what ways have caves provided important clues about the past?

The cave drawings tell stories and they could tell how the dinosaurs died. +++ To clarify and qualify. Yes. some caves preserve human art, artefacts and sometimes mortal remains that shed light on the cultures using the caves, but we cannot know what stories the pictures tell beyond an intelligent guess of hunting themes. Also, the sentence is ambiguous by apparently linking the art and the dinosaurs. Not only were these reptiles all dead 65 million years before Man appeared, but there are very few if any known caves at all anywhere near old enough to have any evidence of dinosaurs' lives and deaths at all! To the best of my knowledge there have been few if any dinosaur remains found in caves; and they would have been parts of fossils eroded from their host rocks and washed into the caves in geologically quite recent times. So caves do not shed any palaeontological light on the KT Boundary mass-extinction at all. What caves DO provide is naturally-protected sedimentary and speleothem evidence for past climates, though, and a lot of modern cave research is focussed on this to help us understand climate change.


How do cavemen used caves as?

Cavemen used caves as shelter for protection from the elements, predators, and other dangers. They would seek out natural caves or create their own shelters by modifying caves with materials like rocks and branches. Caves also provided a stable and cool environment for storage of tools, food, and other resources.

How are caves useful to people and animals?

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.
