Chapter 3 Notes and Review (Blue Book) The Beginnings of Human Society

Ch 2 Review What is an artifact? Who are scientists who examine objects such as bones, tools etc. to learn about past cultures? Where was the Ice Man found? What was found with him?

Chapter 3 Lesson 1 – Early People Scientists disagree about how long ago and where the first humans were found Some believe in Tanzania, Africa over 2 million years ago Tools were found with the remains Is the use of skills and tools to meet practical needs

Technology is the use of skills and tools to meet practical needs. Stone tools were the most common type of technology in the Old Stone Age. Old Stone Age was the period between 40000 B.C. – 10000 B.C.

Remember think of the Iceman… How did people of the Old During pre-history people developed the ability to use fire. Why was this important? Remember think of the Iceman… How did people of the Old Stone Age survive? (How did they get their food?) Could now cook food Could now travel to colder climates warmth light

Prehistory During the prehistory period, people did not know there was (or had not created) any other way to take down history, so they drew pictures. Cave art was their way to preserve history for use. Old Stone Age people were considered nomadic because hunter-gatherers had no permanent home. They just followed herds and gathered what they could from the land and then killed some of the herd for food and clothes

New Stone Age is the time from 10000-4000 B. C New Stone Age is the time from 10000-4000 B.C. when people still used stone tools but began experimenting with agriculture.

Beginning of Farming Farming Nomad You will explain the path from a nomad to a farmer. You need to remember the elements that it takes to survive and grow food. Nomad Farming

Agriculture Domesticate is the raising of crops and animals for human use. means to train something to be useful to people. Plants – plant seeds and care for edible plants Animals – taming and breeding Agriculture Domesticate

Farming Nomads hunted/gathered for food sources. When nomads settled in one place- they had to have a water source, good soil and sun. They built permanent homes and settled in one place. Once they had built up a food surplus the population began to grow. Finally, they began to practice specialization of jobs, which is…when people train to do a particular kind of work

With food surpluses (extra supply of something), not everyone needed to farm, other people became artisans. These artisans began to craft tools, baskets, pottery and cloth. All of these items helped this farming settlement grow into a city.

Cities along the Rivers As the population of cities grew governments formed and kept order in society and provided services. cities Social classes Public Works = C i v i l i z a t i o n Writing, art and architecture are a part too. Central Govt. Job Specialization
