French hunter-gatherer
10000-5000BC
France
In France, from 10000-5000 BC, hunter-gatherers roamed vast lands in search of food. These nomads relied on local fauna and wild plants for sustenance. They mastered the art of stone tool usage and developed spiritual rituals. Painted caves, like those at Lascaux, bear witness to their artistic expression. Your French ancestor might have hunted mammoths or painted in those caves.
