The term BP before present, is used in the first chapter on prehistory it refers to thousands of years before the present time i.e. 700,000 BP refers to 700,000 year prior to the present. The term BC Before Christ, is used rather than the politically correct but less well known term BCE Before Common Era. To convert a BC date to a BP date, add 2,000 to the BC date. The term AD the Latin Anno Domini meaning “In the year of our Lord” is used rather than the more politically correct but less well known term CE Common Era.

During the Upper Paleolithic (end of the Old Stone Age which dates from 40,000 BP-35,000 BP in Europe) tundra like conditions attracted cold natured animals who traveled in herds both large like mammoths and woolly rhinoceros and smaller animals like the reindeer, wild horse and steppe bison. Communities were well aware of the summer and winter migrations of these animals and settled close to these migration routes in order to hunt these animals more effectively. Stone knifes, scrapers and spearheads were fashioned along with tools made of bone and antler material.
