Prehistoric India to 1000 B.C. c9.7

And as in time so in space the Palaeolithic cultures have an enormous duration. At a given period in the Pleistocene one can take, almost without selection, tools from South India, Africa and South England which show identical techniques of manufacture and form, and in all three areas essentially the same evolution can be traced leading up to and developing from these forms and methods of manufacture. Tool-making traditions in the Palaeolithic have trans-continental distributions: what happens at one end of the area seems to be happening more or less simultaneously at the other.
