DO NOW TAKE A “DONALD JOHANSON” HAND OUT OFF STOOL AND BEGIN TO READ AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS YOU ARE ALLOWED TO WRITE ON IT

DO NOW If you were to go back in time (100,000 years) what three things you would take with you? *** Keep in mind technology like cell phones, internet would not work since they do not exist

DO NOW B.C.E= WHAT YEARS COVER THE18TH CENTURY? 600 BCE + 700 YEARS = 856 C.E IS WHAT CENTURY? C.E. = BEFORE COMMON ERA 1700-1799 100 C.E. 9TH COMMON ERA

THE FIRST HUMANS PRE-HISTORY 3500 B.C.E. CHAPTER 1

B.C.E.

Discovering History Pre-History- period before writing was developed Archaeology- study of past societies through an analysis of what people have left behind Archaeologists study Artifacts- tools, pottery, paintings, weapons and buildings of early people.

Examples of Artifacts

CONT’D The Study of human life and culture is called Anthropology. Fossils- remains of humans Radio active carbon (C-14) is a part of all living things, when the living thing dies the carbon slowly loses C-14 (How old it is) DNA- Genetic traits to discover who is who

Radio Carbon (C14) (50,000- 60,000 years)

Heinrich Schliemann German Archaeologist Fascinated with Greek siege of Troy (Iliad) Proved Troy true by eventually digging it up

Early Stages of Development Donald Johanson discovered the first Hominids Hominids- humans and other creatures that walk upright

Stages of Early Human Development Homo Erectus (2nd stage)- upright human being - emerged 1.5 million years ago - used large and varied tools

Chapter 1 Section 1 (Continued) The Old Stone Age

Hunter Gatherers of Old Stone Age Earliest tools made of stone Paleolithic Age- Greek for “Old Stone” known for simple tools, 2,500,000 B.C.E- 10,000 B.C.E.

Ways of Life Hunted and Gathered Eventually learned what was good food Animals, plants, berries, fruits and wild grains

Types of Animals Eaten

Better Tools Made spears, bows and arrows, harpoons and fish hooks Paleolithic people were Nomads (people who moved place to place) groups of twenty or thirty

WOULD YOU RATHER BE A HUNTER OR A GATHERER? WHY??

Roles of Men and Women Women stayed at camps to raise and bear children Men hunted wild animals, women gathered berries and fruits Both genders were roughly equal to one another

Survival and Fire Stayed in caves during cold, framed skin shelters Figured out how to use fire for warmth, food and scare away wild animals Use of Fire helped survive the Ice Ages

Art Cave Paintings of large animals Found in Lascaux, France (pronounced La- Skoh) Mineral ores, animal fat produced colors of red, yellow and black Cave Paintings of large animals Found in Lascaux, France (pronounced La- Skoh) Mineral ores, animal fat produced colors of red, yellow and black

What are the two most important technological innovations of Paleolithic people?

Section 2 Chapter 2 Section 2: Neolithic Revolution and The Neolithic Revolution & The Rise of Civilization Section 2: Neolithic Revolution and The Rise of Civilization

Neolithic- Greek for “New Stone” 8,000 B.C.E. to 4,000 B.C.E. Systematic Agriculture- Shift from hunting animals and gathering to keeping animals and growing food Domestication- Adaptation for human self (i.e. living animals for steady sources: milk, wool, and meat)

Neolithic Farming Villages The farming products: Rice, Beans, Corn, Squash, Catal Huyuk (Chah-Tuhl Hoo-Yook) 32 acre community, 6,000 inhabitants Lived in mud houses, grew own food and kept it in storerooms Artisans- skilled craftsperson, making jewelry or weapons for trade

The Positives Developed gardening tools Trading began to spread a round the world Food plants today are still being cultivated

The Negatives - Men took charge of jobs - Women stayed home to raise children -Men had more of a dominant role

End of Neolithic Age Metals begin to appear (melting metal bearing rocks) Bronze Age- 3000-1200 B.C.E.-widespread of bronze tools and weapons This leads to the emergence of Culture- way of following their own kind of life

CIVILIZATION CIVILIZATION- complex culture in which large numbers of human beings share common elements Six important characteristics

Examples Colonia Statues Cities- Government- Religion- Social Structure- Writing- Art- Colonia Democracy, Monarchy Hinduism Upper, Middle, Lower Class Hieroglyphics, Documents Statues
