| On reaching the palaeolithic period we come to firmer ground and to evidence that is more certain and generally accepted. |
| If you plan to hunt big game you would be foolish to arm yourself with the weapons of our palaeolithic ancestors, though theirs were the best tools of the age in which they lived. |
| Rather, aboriginal culture, which had hitherto depended on the large and relatively crude stone tools of the palaeolithic, suddenly started using the smaller and finer ones of the neolithic. |
| The pictorial art of the Tasmanians was poor and childish, quite below that of the palaeolithic men of Europe. |
| The palaeolithic cave-dwellers of Europe were buried in their caves. |
| This evidence is fundamentally geological, inasmuch as the age of the archaeological remains is dependent palaeolithic. |
