The Upper Paleolithic (also spelled …

Years: 28557BCE - 7822BCE

The Upper Paleolithic (also spelled Upper Palaeolithic) is the final subdivision of the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), as defined in Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Broadly dating between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago, this period coincides with the emergence of behavioral modernity and predates the development of agriculture.

The terms "Late Stone Age" and "Upper Paleolithic" refer to the same time period. However, due to historical conventions, "Stone Age" is more commonly used in reference to Africa, while "Upper Paleolithic" is typically applied to Europe.
