How did geography effect old stone age people more than us today?

"why does geography effect old stone age people more than us today?"?

  • HELPPPPPP!!! i have a two page essay due on monday and i just want some more information than i already have, to do good on this paper.

  • Answer:

    The previous answers have touched on key reasons, need to be close to resources--food, water, shelter. The need to defend their resources ...geography still has an effect on modern warfare, but we have many more weapons that offset the value of high ground and physical barriers. Technology to grow food allows modern society to cultivate deserts. Pre-farmer society had to follow game as well as seasonal food sources. Storing food is a problem, so the availability of ice, salt, and geologic features called "talus"-- steep accumulations of unstable and inhospitable rocks/boulders where there is no plant life >>no food for insects >>no food for small insect eaters >> no small insect eaters for larger predators = nothing to disturb or spoil food that is cached..... mostly, you can apply common sense and observation to prepare your essay.

Because they didn't have the technology we have now and they were pretty much stuck to wherever they found around them. Stock with the founa and flora as well as the water supply and so on.

Basically, barriers that would separate people in the old days are no longer a problem for modern transportation. Distance and things like oceans, rivers and mountains can now be covered in a matter of hours with technology like cars, trains and planes. If there are more (physical) barriers between cultures, they tend to be more isolated and more xenophobic. Now that we have instant communication and fast travel, we're becoming a more integrated "global village."
