Paleolithic Age (BC 14000 years ago): Primitive Society?

There are many Paleolithic sites in Japan, which are widely distributed, from Hokkaido to Kyushu, all over Japan. ?

Like other civilizations in the Stone Age, it is a primitive society. The human remains of the Japanese archipelago can be traced back to 90,000 years ago? Eighty thousand years ago. Paleolithic people lived in caves and shady places. A small number of people live in vertical caves. Japan in this period, like other civilizations, had matriarchal clan society first, and then paternal clan society. ?

During the Pleistocene, that is, the ice age, the sea level was much lower than today. The northern and southern ends of the Japanese archipelago are connected with Eurasia, so many primitive people and animals came to Japan. In the cold and dry Japanese archipelago, the vegetation is mainly the forests and grasslands of conifers in the sub-cold zone or deciduous trees in the cold temperate zone, which is very suitable for the survival of Norman elephants and bighorn deer. At this time, people mainly hunt and collect animals such as elephants and deer. Later, due to melting glaciers and rising sea levels, the Japanese archipelago was separated from the mainland. ?

Later, with the change of environment, except Hokkaido, the vegetation range of temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest or evergreen broad-leaved forest expanded, and large animals gradually became extinct, replaced by small animals such as wild boar and rabbits in the forest. At the same time, dense forests provide rich plant foods such as nuts, mountain vegetables and mushroom lamps for human beings. With the change of environment, human hunting technology has been gradually improved, knife-shaped stone tools have decreased and declined, and stone tools with sharp guns have appeared. The microlithic technology has spread from Chinese mainland to the Japanese archipelago. ?

Shengwen Age (65438 BC+04000 BC? Centuries BC): the dawn of civilization?

This is the Neolithic Age in Japan, and the rope writing age is characterized by pottery. Rope? Refers to the pattern pressed by the rope buckle rolling on the surface of pottery. ?

The era of Wensheng has lasted for more than 10,000 years, and its development is not stagnant, but it is also progressing step by step towards a civilized society. ?

In the early Wensheng period, people's main production activities were hunting, fishing and gathering the fruits of wild plants. The hunting animals are mainly deer and wild boar. The production tools are still mainly stone tools, but at this time the stone tools are completely processed and ground. In addition to grinding stone tools, there are wooden bows and arrows, bone hooks and harpoons. In the middle and late period of rope culture, people began to use fishing nets and go fishing in marubeni boats. Chestnut, walnut and acorn are the main foods collected by people and began to be stored. ?

Dozens of large colonies began to appear everywhere. People live in vertical caves, make pottery to hold things, cook food, make all kinds of clay dolls, and start hunting with dogs. People believe in animism, and spells play an important role in society. ?
