DESCRIPTION:The Quaternary period\, also known as the "Age of Humans\," is 
 characterized by an abundant fossil record of Homo species around the glob
 e. This period has undergone remarkable changes in global climate\, leadin
 g to the extinction of numerous mammalian species and possibly influencing
  the evolution of Homo species. Although early Homo species' fossil record
 s are absent from the Indian subcontinent\, various stone tools/artefacts 
 discovered from sedimentary deposits of the Quaternary age indicate the pr
 esence of prehistoric humans skilled in tool-making. Based on the morpholo
 gy and typo-technology of excavated artefacts\, it is suggested that prehi
 storic humans in the studied region used Paleolithic to Neolithic tools. H
 owever\, the age of the prehistoric phase is still a matter of curiosity a
 nd needs further investigation. Therefore\, understanding the role of clim
 ate in Homo evolution requires complete control over the age of prehistori
 c phases.\nSpeaker: Dr. Deepak Jha
