The Reasons Why Early Humans Choose Cave as Home
- U-Report
VIVA – Early humans refer to human ancestors who lived in the distant past before the age of written history began. They were primitive humans who lived by hunting and gathering food. It is known that early humans lived in caves, and they often moved around. There are several reasons why early humans chose cave as home.
One of the main reasons was for protection from the elements, such as extreme temperatures, wind, and rain. Caves provided shelter from these harsh conditions, and early humans could build fires inside them for warmth and cooking.
Caves were also protected from predators and other dangers, which helped early humans to survive.
Another reason early humans lived in caves was that they provided a natural source of building materials. They could use the natural rock formations in the cave to build walls and create a living space.

Additionally, caves often contained natural resources such as water sources and mineral deposits that early humans could use for survival.
Early humans lived in caves because they were often located near good hunting and gathering grounds. Caves provided a central location where early humans could store food and other resources and gather together as a community.
This allowed them to better coordinate hunting and gathering activities and increase their chances of survival.
In the archipelago, early humans are thought to have traveled or lived nomadically for a long time. They gathered food in certain areas and moved around. Nomadic early humans lived in small groups and with fairly high fences between one cave and another.
This nomadic lifestyle began to change when entering the Holocene era. They began to settle in more permanent places with simple house buildings.
Holocene homo sapiens houses were in the middle of managed rice fields. However, there were also those in the middle of the forest that was built by placing them on large trees to avoid the disturbance of wild animals.
