Description:	Early Human Behaviour in Global Context covers a period referred to by archaeologists as the Lower or Early Palaeolithic, a holistic term usually meant to describe contexts where diverse core-flake and bifacial stone tool industries are recovered. The beginning of this period starts with the first recognizable stone artefact assemblages in the Late Pliocene at around 2.5 myr, although lines of evidence from archaeology and insights gained from modern tool use by primates suggest that this age may have to be extended further back with future investigations and discoveries. The end point of the Lower Palaeolithic is also rather arbitrary; the terminus is marked by the introduction of prepared core and retouched flake tool assemblages characteristic of the Middle Palaeolithic. These assemblages are introduced at different times in various geographic areas, although their first appearance is recorded in Africa.
