How Did Paleolithic Adapt To Their Environment?

How did Paleolithic people adapt to their environment and use tools to help them survive? The way they lived depended on where they lived. Those in warm climates needed little clothing and shelter. Those in colder climates took protection from the weather in caves or animal hides over wooden poles.

How did Paleolithic adapt?

One way they adapted their diets was by enriching meals with fat. To protect themselves from the harsh environment, they learned to build sturdier shelters. They also learned to make warm clothing using animal furs. Paleolithic people used fire to help them stay warm in this icy environment.
