Early Humans and how they survived

How Did They Survive? They were hunter-gatherers whose survival depended on the availability of wild plants and animals. They were also nomadic, travelling around in search of plants and animals to eat. They slowly invented tools and other things. This allowed them to hunt more efficiently.

Early People con’t They were nomadic people, meaning they travelled around searching for food, water, and shelter. During the Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age), they invented the first tools and weapons. They lived in clans and invented oral language to communicate with each other.

The Agricultural Revolution About 10,000 years ago, humans began farming. Agriculture provided a more steady food source than hunting and gathering plants. Agriculture was probably made possible by a change in climate that allowed for longer growing seasons.

Domestication Along with agriculture came the domestication of animals. By keeping animals in enclosed areas, people could wait until they needed to eat to slaughter the animals.
