How did Paleolithic people learn to adapt to their environment?

In: Anthropology, Archaeology, Stone Age [Edit categories]

Answer:

Paleolithic people learned to adapt to their environment by learning which animals to hunt, what wild plants to eat, what fruits, nuts, wild berries and grains were safe to eat, and the stone tools they used. In addition, they made use of wild animals not only for their meat, but to create clothing (and possibly even decorative items, including bone jewelry, which could be traded with other tribes).
