Objective #2 Early Humans

Early Humans Start our story at the dawn of the Paleolithic Era, about 2.5 million years ago the Old Stone Age Humans created the first tools made out of stone

Better than Monkeys Early humans developed Simple stone tools Control of fire Oral language All keys to cooperating in hunts, which bring food and resources

Wise Man Smarter, larger-brained humans known as homo sapiens (Latin for “wise man”) Developed technology Clothing Shelter Art Homo sapiens are modern humans

Out of Africa Homo sapiens arose in Africa about 200,000 years ago Migration to all continents (except Antarctica) beginning around 100,000 years ago

Objective #3 Hunter-gatherer Life People Profiles

Source of Food Hunting Gathering Get it? Hunter-gatherers! Main source, whatever they could catch, kill, and cook! Gathering Wild fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, etc. Get it? Hunter-gatherers!

Size of Groups Small groups Why? Clans: 60-100 people, one or a few extended families Why?

Permanent Settlements No! They were nomads Why move? Follow herds No food left Seasons change Too cold or hot No water left

Location Factors Mainly, Paleolithic (and prehistoric) people followed their food Animals migrate, so did the people Overpopulation (of people) Overconsumption (of resources in one spot)

Getting Along Cooperation was necessary for survival Knew everyone in their clan – all relatives No private property – no where to put it No fighting other groups – no one around Finding food…just not that hard
