The deepest roots of the history of Azerbaijan go back to the primitive society, the stone age. Azerbaijan, which has a favorable climate, colorful terrain, and natural-geographical factors, had all conditions for the settlement of our great ancestors since the Lower Paleolithic period. The period of primitive community is the longest phase of human history. It is for this reason that this period and its characteristics have been studied with great interest by many historians of the world, including Azerbaijan, for many years. In the mentioned period, population settlement, natural and mechanical growth, objective and subjective factors affecting population growth in general have always attracted the attention of scientists studying historical demography.
