Prehistòries. Catalunya abans de Catalunya

The technological advances that took place in prehistory were as revolutionary as today's, although much more spaced out in time. Humanity changed thanks to the mastery of fire, stone knapping and the manufacture of the first tools. These improvements helped consolidate communities and stimulate their material progress. Agriculture, animal husbandry and pottery production were also true revolutions, which led to sedentarisation, the accumulation of surpluses and the beginning of trade.Finally some groups could specialise in tasks other than the strict search for food, such as metallurgy or jewellery production, true luxury objects of the era. New needs generated new thoughts, artistic and symbolic forms increasingly elaborate. The societies themselves evolved towards more complex models, with the emergence of the first hierarchies and the first urban designs.Little by little, prehistoric cultures brought together the collective soul of Europe in a definitive way. We are the direct heirs of that world.
