| − | The Gravettians, which appeared around 33,000 BP, brought with them a myriad of advances, among which include living in semi-permanent villages, which acted as a home base for hunting expeditions in nearby areas while others would gather vegetables and nuts closer to the camp. The dispersal of the members of the tribe made it impractical to continue a nomadic life, and thus they built villages. This ability to stay put in one area was made possible by the usage of humble materials in advanced hunting tools such as traps and darts, which allowed for more resources on which the tribe could rely.

| − | The Gravettians also used an egalitarian system for governing their tribes. This system recognized each individual's special skills because the tribe made the decisions together, listening to one another's opinions in an informal setting. The tribes also shared the ground; private property was non-existent.

| − | The Gravettians also made great strides in the art of sculpting. They made "Mother Goddess" figurines that some recognize as the first developed religious symbols. The figurines highlighted the secondary female sex characteristics and symbolized fertility. They were formed from soft stone, bone, or ivory. They could also be made from clay and then heated on a fire. Figurines formed through this process are some of the oldest ceramics.
