👉 Palaeothnology is a field of study that focuses on the relationship between prehistoric and early modern human societies. It involves examining the cultural, social, and technological practices of these societies through archaeological evidence. Palaeothnologists study ancient artifacts, such as pottery, bone tools, and cave paintings, to understand how people lived in their time. This field is closely related to paleoanthropology, which focuses on the behavior and evolution of early human ancestors.
