The history of log building dates back to the Neolithic period, when humans first began to construct permanent dwellings. The earliest known log structures were found in Northern Europe, particularly in countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Finland. These buildings were typically small and simple, consisting of a single room with a central hearth. Over time, log construction techniques evolved and became more sophisticated, with the introduction of corner notching and other methods of joining logs together. | The history of log building dates back to the Neolithic period, when humans first began to construct permanent dwellings.
