The Study of Social Science helps us in this. The book begins from the period when the basic characteristics of human life were formed in the Stone Age. Following this, there is a discussion on ideologies and early sates, and the history of state formation in India. The background of the emergence of Jainism and Buddhism and the relationship between state formation and material development are also explained. The chapter on 'Land Grant and Indian Society' unveils the history of the formation of feudal system in India through the process of land grant. The book also explains the distribution of power in the Indian Constitution and the demographic trends in India. Chapters are designed in such a way that knowledge is constructed by familiarising, analysing and interpreting related source materials. There is provision for utilising possibilities of science and technology in learning. The book aims at inculcating democratic and secular values along with scientific and pluralistic outlook in the students. With love and regards, Dr. Jayaprakash R. K.

Later, stone was replaced by metal. Archaeologists divide human history into different stages on the basis of the materials used for making tools. Palaeolithic Age Stone Age Mesolithic Age Neolithic Age Bronze Age Metal Age Iron Age Stone Age +DYH\RXHYHUWKRXJKWZK\WKHÀUVWSKDVHRIKXPDQKLVWRU\ZDV called the Stone Age? Humans used stones to make tools and weapons during that period. So, historians describe this phase as Stone Age. Based on the method used to make stone tools, the stone age is divided into three: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic. 8 Social Science I  Moving Forward from the Stone Age Let's look at the features of each of these. Palaeolithic Age The characteristic feature of the Palaeolithic age is the use of rough (unpolished) stone tools. The term ‘Palaeolithic’ is derived from two Greek words 'palaeos' (old) and 'lithos' (stone). The making of tools is related to the means of subsistence of primitive humans. Archaeologists point out that there were three main stages in the use of tools. They are given below. A method of using available stones Utilisation without changing their shape The method of using available stones Fashioning by changing the shape according to the need 7KH PHWKRG RI PDNLQJ VSHFLÀF Standardisation tools for each purpose The pictures given below are the different tools used by primitive humans during different phases of Palaeolithic Age.

Standard IX 11  Chapter 1 Various colours were used to draw the cave paintings. These colours were made by grinding plants, tree bark and fruits, and mixing with red stone powder. Such pictures were drawn on the inner walls of the caves where sunlight could not reach. These stone carvings were made using stone needles and sharp-edged weapons. Paintings can also be seen on the ceilings of the caves. Such pictures and sculptures are considered to be the evidence of the intellectual and technical skill attained by primitive humans. Let’s see what information could be gathered on human life from the tools and art of the Palaeolithic Age. Used rough stone tools Lived in caves and open spaces Hunting and gathering were the means of livelihood Palaeolithic Bands were the basic units of Age society Bands Bands are Men were engaged in hunting small groups and women, in gathering of fewer than hundred members. Food was not stored Band members were bound Nomadic life prevailed by blood relation. 12 Social Science I  Moving Forward from the Stone Age Map 1 =DUD\VN Lascaux cave Cussac Cave La Garma cave Chauvet cave Note down the features of the Palaeolithic centres mentioned on the world map. Mesolithic Age The Mesolithic is the stage of transition from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic. The word ‘Mesolithic’ is derived from two Greek words ‘mesos’ (middle) and ‘lithos’ (stone). Look at the given picture. Examine the difference between Palaeolithic tools and Mesolithic tools. z These are smaller tools than the ones used in the Palaeolithic Age. z This is the period when microliths (very small tools) were used. Mesolithic tools It has already been mentioned that the development of human communication began towards the end of the Palaeolithic period. But, in India, this development is Standard IX 13  Chapter 1 mainly seen during the Mesolithic Age. The works of art in the cave centres of Bhimbetka, Lakhajoar and Kathotia in Madhya Pradesh help us understand the ways of life of humans during that period.

Neolithic Age This is the period of radical change in human life; The word ‘Neolithic’ is derived from the words ‘neos’ (new) and ‘lithos’ (stone). The book Man Makes Himself by Gordon Childe refers to two important changes in the Neolithic Age that transformed human life. 7KHÀUVWUHYROXWLRQWKDWWUDQVIRUPHGKXPDQHFRQRP\JDYHPDQFRQWURO RYHU KLV RZQ IRRG VXSSO\ 0DQ EHJDQ WR SODQW FXOWLYDWH DQG LPSURYH E\VHOHFWLRQHGLEOHJUDVVHVURRWVDQGWUHHV$QGKHVXFFHHGHGLQWDPLQJ DQG ÀUPO\ DWWDFKLQJ WR KLV SHUVRQ FHUWDLQ VSHFLHV RI DQLPDO LQ UHWXUQ IRUWKHIRGGHUKHZDVDEOHWRRIIHUWKHSURWHFWLRQKHFRXOGDIIRUGDQGWKH IRUHWKRXJKWKHFRXOGH[HUFLVH7KHWZRVWHSVDUHFORVHO\UHODWHG What are the changes in the Neolithic Age mentioned in this description?  z  z The change in human interaction with his surroundings is the reason for these changes.

They helped them in tilling the soil and cutting down trees. This marked the beginning of great changes in human life. Agriculture and domestication of animals ensured the steady availability of food products. As a result, permanent settlements and agrarian villages came into existence. The storage of grains became possible with the introduction of pottery and the use of bricks made of clay. When the surplus production in agriculture became possible, a section of society became free from agrarian activities. They began to engage in other occupations such as pottery making, weaving, etc. Thus, the society came to include GLIIHUHQWRFFXSDWLRQDOJURXSV7KLVUHVXOWHGLQVLJQLÀFDQWFKDQJHV in the social formation.
