Middle Paleolithic[edit]
The
Middle Paleolithic period occurred in Europe and the Near East, during which the
Neanderthals lived (c. 300,000–28,000 years ago). The earliest evidence (
Mungo Man) of settlement in
Australia dates
to around 40,000 years ago when modern humans likely crossed from Asia by island-hopping. The
Bhimbetka rock sheltersexhibit the earliest traces of human life in
India, some of which are approximately 30,000 years old.[
