How long did the cavemen live for? It extends from more than 2 million years into the past until sometime between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago (depending on who you ask). Many scientists who study dinosaurs (vertebrate paleontologists) now think that birds are direct descendants of one line of carnivorous dinosaurs, and some consider that they in fact Neanderthals, another species of cavemen, did live in caves almost exclusively, although the harsh climates of their environment forced them to use circulating mobility and radiating mobility to survive. In this graph, most cavemen are dying at around 25 – there are a couple outliers, but Joe Caveman born into this group could expect to live around 25 years . “Caveman” is not a scientific term, nor an anthropological term. When Did Cavemen Exist? What are commonly called cavemen were the early European populations of the Pleistocene. No! Answer (1 of 1): The image of "Cavemen" is the result of many bad B movies, story lines and Gico commercials.Most certainly rockshelters were used. UniversalImagesGroup/Universal Images Group/Getty Images. Cavemen typically lived in shelters constructed of animal hides stretched across bones, wooden lean-tos or mounds made of dirt. These were overhangs whereshelters of skin and wood could be built. In the early Bible days people did not have pollution or pesticides or trans fats or processed foods or mortgage payments for that matter. The era that most people think of when they talk about "cavemen" is the Paleolithic Era, sometimes referred to as the Stone Age (it's actually one part of the Stone Age).
So where did they live? Again…. The Stone Age is divided into 3 sub-periods – the Paleo(old)lithic, the Mes(mid)olithic and the Neo(new)lithic. Today, most people living past 100 live in remote regions although there are a few in the U.S. but they are the exceptions. One such site, clearly showedhow a shelter was built against a wall and what materials were usedinside and out.Caves did have some religious significance. After the dinosaurs died out, nearly 65 million years passed before people appeared on Earth. They could have easily lived to 120 if they didn’t get killed by each other. The mode (most common) age at death is the age 20 - 25 group. However, small mammals (including shrew-sized primates) were alive at the time of the dinosaurs. Well the answer is different depending on where in Britain and what period of the Stone Age we are talking about.
