The given statement is false, as Paleolithic people thrived in the groups of 20 to 30 individuals.
At the time of Paleolithic, the hominins gathered together in brief societies, like bands, and survived by fishing and gathering plants, scavenging or hunting wild animals. The Paleolithic era is featured by the application of knapped stone tools, however, tools made up of woods and bones were also used by humans at that time.
The number of primary consumers would increase because they would not get eaten.
The ability of organisms to regulate and thus maintain a relatively stable internal environment, despite external pressures, is called HOMEOSTASIS. This word comes from two Latin/Greek root words: "homeo" and "stasis".
"Homeo" means constant or unchanging. And "stasis" or "static" refers to stillness, non-movement. So, together, we can translate Homeostasis into a constant stillness inside, which makes sense for "maintaining normal internal states."
