===Shelter and habitat=== Around 2 million years ago, ''[[Homo habilis]]'' is believed to have constructed the first man-made structure in East Africa, consisting of simple arrangements of stones to hold branches of trees in position. A similar stone circular arrangement believed to be around 380,000 years old was discovered at [[Terra Amata (archaeological site)|Terra Amata]], near [[Nice]], France. (Concerns about the dating have been raised: see [[Terra Amata (archaeological site)|Terra Amata]].) Several human habitats dating back to the Stone Age have been discovered around the globe, including: * A tent-like structure inside a cave near the [[Grotte du Lazaret]], Nice, France. * A [[Dolní Věstonice (archaeology)|structure]] with a roof supported with timber, discovered in [[Dolní Věstonice]], the [[Czech Republic]], dates to around 23,000 BC. The walls were made of packed clay blocks and stones. * Many huts made of [[mammoth]] bones have been found in East-Central Europe and [[Siberia]]. The people who made these huts were expert mammoth hunters. Examples have been found along the [[Dniepr]] river valley of [[Ukraine]], including near [[Chernihiv]], in [[Moravia]], Czech Republic and in southern Poland. * An animal hide tent dated to around 15000 to [[10000 BCE|10000 BC]], in the [[Magdalenian]], was discovered at Plateau Parain, France.
