Prehistoric peoples lived throughout
the world and till date though research, modern man have tried to find out about
the lives and diseases of the prehistoric people but could never really come to
a conclusions about the complete true facts and discoveries they made and all
the evidences and guestimates were arrived at from the excavation made during
the modern history finding adventure and it has been researched and
corroborated that the tribal and aborigines never new how the human body
works. Their lives were spent around
gathering foods and hunting and taking rests with the exception of protecting
themselves from other animals of the surroundings.
The earliest prehistoric peoples had
features in common whether they were living in one parts of the world or
others, they were nomads, they were hunter-gatherers, and all got their foods
without farming, spoke different languages and dialects, they lived simple life
without technology and their main weapons for the hunting in the beginning were
wood and then on stones, later on they advanced to spears, bows and arrows,
axes, knives and scrappers and all these were made from wood, bone and stones
and at that time there were no separate countries
During
pre-history, people were afflicted with ailments and diseases, just like we are
today. The only difference is that they had a very different lifestyles and
lifespans from what is today and they did not suffer from the same diseases so
commonly that we modern societies are afflicted with today.

the four eras:

During this period, the people were
nomadic hunter-gatherers.

discovered metal tools and thereafter started the making of various metal tools
for the day to day requirements.
Iron
Age:

was discovered and greatly improved the tools and many new weapons that could
not be made earlier were made.
