What was man doing for 99%? Of human history?

Thoughts and Reflection;
      During late Paleolithic Era or  The old Stone Age, humans survived by combining  hunting and fishing with the gathering of fruits, berries, grains and root crops that grew in the wild in small groups for a long period of time. Back then people were primitive, even though they were primitive , they were actually very creative. They used stones for weapons, they made sculpture, beads and other forms of jewelry and carved bones and they also painted. People who  created paintings did not write, and historians can't be certain of the reasons for this surge in artistic expression Itself. After thousands and thousands of years they started using symbolic language that changes their life style.

This places can grow lots of food in a small area because of its good climate and soil.

Thoughts and Reflection on Location, Location 

       Eurasia is a bigger landmass that runs east west which  is good because the climate Is the       same at a given lattitude which makes it easier to communicate over long distances. This helped Europeans to spread new ideas such as developing steel and making new weapons which I think helped the Europeans conquer North and South America because they were still using clubs, bows and arrows. It's good that  the Europeans thought God was on their side helping them, but the main thing is the Erupeans worked hard spreading new ideas that helped them be successful in a bad way.
