26. HOMINIDS – “Human-like”
Hominids - first humanlike species.
We may have shared a common ancestry with the apes and chimps from up to 7 million years ago!
Oldest remains discovered in Ethiopia in 1994, thought to be 4.4 million years old
Similar remains found in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia
Different from apes:
Bipedalism (walking on two feet)
Larger brains

27. Early Discoveries of Hominids

28. Australopithecus Scavengers = Survival living.
Lived 3,000,000 years ago
Walked on 2 feet (bipedal)
Small brain ( cc)
Undeveloped system of communication.
Teeth and jaw much larger than humans today.

29. Donald Johanson
In 1973, Donald Johanson discovered fossils in Ethiopia that were dramatic and almost unbelievable;
The bones of a 3,000,000 year old hominid (prehistoric man).
These bones led him to believe that they were from a woman, Lucy, who walked on 2 feet.

31. Lucy
Lucy had a small brain and was only about a meter tall (4ft.)

32. Lucy compared

33. The Stone Age (Pro. To Pres. Text page 16 to 27)
Descendants of the Australopithecines lived in the period called the Stone Age.
There are two stages to this age:
Paleolithic – 2,000,000 BCE – 10,000 BCE (Old Stone Age)
Mesolithic – 10,000 BCE – 8,000 BCE (Middle Stone Age)

34. The Palaeolithic Era - Old Stone Age -
Small family groups.
Humans found shelter in caves.
During this time period, men hunted and women gathered.
They lived each day trying to find food and shelter.
They had to follow their food.

35. Homo Habilis “Handy Man”

Lived million years ago.
Eastern Africa
Brain measured 650 cc
Average height: 5’0’’ (100 pounds)

36. Homo Erectus Man who stood upright First to use fire
Lived about 2 million years ago
Large teeth
Low forehead
Brain measured cc
First to migrate to Europe and Asia.

Homo Sapiens Sapiens

38. Homo Neanderthals Lived in central Europe, colder climate
Buried their dead

Descended from Homo Erectus
Average height of men: 5’6’’
Their brains were larger than ours.
They eventually disappeared???

39. Homo Sapiens Sapiens (us)
Cro-Magnon Man
Tools made of bones and horns
Cave paintings, religion, domesticated animals, advanced hunting skills.
Moved into Europe from Africa about years ago
Brain 1350 cc
Eventually spread through Asia Australia and into North America

41. Sapiens vs. Neanderthalis
Homo sapien sapien
Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis

42. The Great Leap Forward Cause and Effect of people living is settled communities
Tool Making
Fire
Weapons for hunting
Tools for building and cooking
Better able to gather food at a quicker rate
Built more tools and shelters
Heat – Shelter – Light
Cooked food
Fewer illnesses
Population growth
Ward off predators

43. The Great Leap Forward Cause and Effect of people living is settled communities
Lived in groups
Speech
Worked together, shared jobs
Better hunting results, more food
Longer lives, population increase
Safer, protected one another
Development of culture
Ideas, laws, religion
Communicated ideas, shared knowledge

44. The Great Leap Forward Cause and Effect of people living is settled communities
Hunting
From scavengers to hunter gatherers to food producers
