Japanese Paleolithic

Okay kiddo, let's talk about the Japanese Paleolithic. This is a time a long, long, long time ago when humans first started living in Japan. We're talking about millions and millions of years ago!

During this time, people didn't have fancy houses, cars or even technology like we do now. They were what we call "hunter-gatherers," which means they would hunt animals for food and gather plants to eat.

The Japanese Paleolithic is divided into three periods: the earthenware period, the jade period, and the final period. During each period, people lived differently and made different tools to help them hunt and gather food.

In the earthenware period, people made tools out of clay and lived in caves. They also made clay figurines that we can still see today! In the jade period, people started using jade to make tools and jewelry. They also started using fire to cook their food.

Finally, in the final period, people started making weapons like spears and arrows to help them hunt animals. They also started living in small villages instead of just caves.

So there you have it! The Japanese Paleolithic was a time a long, long time ago when people first started living in Japan and had to hunt and gather their own food. They made different tools during each period to help them survive and lived differently depending on the time in history.
