Prehistoric men had no home to live. Then they discovered that caves and caves could shelter them from rain, cold, sun, as well as dangerous animals.
these men were known as nomads, as they had no fixed home. They lived in places where they could hunt, fish and gather fruits and roots, that is, they depended on nature to survive. When these foods ran out, they moved to another location that was able to feed them.

Caves or grottos are huge holes that exist in the rocks, place where the animals sought to hide or stay, to feel protected. Cavemen often they had to fight these animals to get a space.
With the discovery of fire, prehistoric men managed to frighten and drive away animals, as well as illuminate their environment.
Fire served as protection against animals and the cold and to light
As time passed, men improved their caves, started to build shelters with other materials, as they learn to deal with and make better use of nature's resources, like stones, bones, branches, tree leaves and straw.
Later these men discovered that, in addition to these resources, could use clay to build their shelters. and, from this idea, modern man was able to build tiles and bricks that are used in our houses.
Shelter made of bones
They also learned that they could grow their food so they wouldn't have to leave the places they were living. They also discovered ways to domesticate animals, which helped in certain jobs. Thus, they were no longer considered nomads and started to be called sedentary, as they could stay in the same place.
