Origin
The earliest forms of shelter were probably simple structures made from natural materials such as rocks, leaves, and branches. These early shelters were likely used for protection from the sun, rain, and wind, and for storage of food and other resources. These shelters were also used as a base for hunting and gathering activities. The use of natural materials was limited by the availability of resources in a particular area.
Evolution of Shelters
The evolution of shelter can be traced back to the origin of human civilization. The need for shelter has always been an essential aspect of human survival, as it provides protection from the elements and other environmental hazards such as wild animals, extreme weather conditions, and other natural disasters.
