People of the Old Stone Age Hunters & Gatherers People of the Old Stone Age Hunters & Gatherers Aim: What are the characteristics of the Paleolithic Age? Do Now: What does the word stem “Paleo” mean? Hint: It’s the opposite of “Neo”

The earliest humans probably lived in Africa. They spread to the rest of the world over the next tens of thousands of years as they hunted and gathered food to survive.

Getting Food

Without becoming food!

Ugh…Me so Hungry!

Groups of related families united in bands. They collected roots, nuts, fruits, and seeds. They also cooperated together for basic needs such as for food and shelter Hunted & Gathered for Food / Nomadic

The animals they killed provided: meat for food bones for tools hides for clothing

They set up seasonal camps in caves or rock shelters wherever the animals were plentiful.

People (Bands) migrated when food (plants or animals) became scarce in one location. We’re outta here! Yaba-daba-doo!

Spreading Through the World

Reasons for the Migrations Couldn’t find enough food Growing number of bands Changing climate Follow animals on the move (hunting)
