Early Homosapiens Homo sapiens is the scientific name for modern man Invention of tools, mastery of fire and the development of language improved human life Early humans were nomads – people who wander from place to place with no permanent settlements They were hunters and gatherers for their food Made tools to help increase their food supply Made cultural advances with necklaces, cave paintings, rock paintings and carving
