Suggested Answers:

We have found human and animal bones in those caves higher up the hill as well as tools and ornaments. We have discovered fireplaces in the centre of the caves where they constuted fires. We have been finding the bones of tigers and bears in the caves. Our evidence suggests they did indeed wear clothes made from animal skins. It seems that they might have used sharpened stone tools to cut up the animals and remove their skin. After that they would have had to rub an ample amount of salt inside the skin trade between early peoples or they traveled to the seaside on their journeys. They didn't grow their own crops, but picked fruit and killed animals.
