Paleolithic[edit]
The prehistoric period during which
Lower Paleolithic settlements existed in the Tamil Nadu region has been estimated to span the period from about 5000
BCE[1] until around 3000 BCE.
[2] For most of the lower Paleolithic stage, humans lived close to river valleys with sparse forest cover or in grassland environments. The population density was very low and so far only two localities of this lower Palaeolithic culture have been found in
south India.
[3] Archaeological research has uncovered evidence of fossil remains of animals and primitive stone implements around the northern Tamil Nadu that could be dated to belong to around 3,000,000 BCE.[

Homo erectus, lived in this primitive 'old stone age' (Palaeolithic) for quite a long time, using only crude implements such as
hand axes and choppers and subsisting as
hunter-gatherers.

A discovery of a rare fossilized baby brain in Viluppuram district, by a team of archeologists was reported in April 2003, It is estimated to be about 187,000 years - 200,000 years or older.[5][6][7][8] The ancestor of modern humans (
Homo sapiens) who appeared around 50,000 years ago was more developed and could make thinner
flake tools and blade-like tools using a variety of stones. From about 10,000 years ago, humans made still smaller tools called
Microlithic tools. The material used by the early humans to make these tools were
jasper,
agate,
flint,
quartz, etc. In 1949, researchers found such microliths in
Tirunelveli district.
[9] Archaeological evidence suggests that the microlithic period lasted between 6000–3000 BCE.
