History Every person that lived in France left their mark. France has
history from the Stone Age, BC, and AD. In early Stone Age the
“cavemen” left a record of their existence with marvelous paintings on
the wall. The “cavemen” were the people who found what now is
France. During the cold weather the “cavemen” camped out in caves.
