Other technological advances made during the Paleolithic era were clothing and shelter; the adoption of both technologies cannot be dated exactly, but they were a key to humanity's progress. As the Paleolithic era progressed, dwellings became more sophisticated and more elaborate; as early as 380,000 BC, humans were constructing temporary wood huts.[31][32] Clothing, adapted from the fur and hides of hunted animals, helped humanity expand into colder regions; humans began to migrate out of Africa by 200,000 BC and into other continents, such as Eurasia.[33]. | power Madness andImmortaCity tile future ofvirtuairea ity Mycftdo Stephenson chine Vntversity Ciifage Press 2005 Mychilo Stephenson Cline ALL RIGHTS RESERVED No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted m any form or by any means electronic or mechanical including photocopies recordings internet multimedia television virtual reality or by any information storage and retrieval system without permission in writing from .
