Mesolithic age

During the Mesolithic, humans learned to hunt and fish in groups. They built boats and canoes and constructed the first wooden trackways that allowed them to safely cross wetlands.

The Mesolithic Age, also known as the Middle Stone Age, is a significant period in human history. It is marked by considerable shifts in human lifestyle, particularly from a nomadic, hunter-gatherer existence to the beginning of settled life.

Experts have uncovered several hundreds of basic sounds from the language first spoken in the Stone Age which archaeologists have dubbed proto-Indo-European, or IE.
