The word culture represents the shared values and beliefs of a group of people which develop over time and are passed from one generation to the other. Culture can be seen in art, religious or spiritual beliefs, systems of laws, or the customs which comprise the way a group functions. Human culture, under this definition, dates back at least 30,000 years and probably much further. The Paleolithic (or Old Stone Age) cultures of Europe hunted wild game and collected plants to sustain them, and their groups was small in number.
