Prehistory and Protohistory in India and Pakistan c7.s8: Environment

c7.s8.1

The Middle Palaeolithic Culture so far consists of various types of tools, and at two or three sites in association with an extinct fauna consisting of the wild ox and other bovids. While the gravels in which the tools are embedded indicate a comparatively wet period, the climate seems to be less humid than in the first wet phase. However, the tools suggest a considerable change and difference in the life—and possibly environment—of the men who made them. Light forested region seems to have been preferred.
