2.  Cause: hunters and gatherers  Cause: cold climate  Cause: discovery of fire  Cause: ability to farm  Effect: lived as nomads  Effect: lived in caves, created new shelters  Effect: warmth, safety, ability to cook  Effect: villages, communities, trade, specialization

3.  What is the difference between a fossil and an artifact?  Fossils show signs of plant or animal life preserved (saved) in rock. Artifacts are weapons, pottery, tools, or other things made by humans.

4.  THE FARMING REVOLUTION  People could live in one place  People began to build villages  People developed communities with places of worship  Populations grew in large numbers  Beginning of trade  Developed different kinds of jobs  Crafts developed Trade improved

5.  How did the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages differ?  During the Paleolithic period, people lived life as hunters and gatherers moving from place to place. (nomadic lifestyle)  People of the Neolithic Ages developed farming, communities, trade, and specialized jobs. They did not live a nomadic lifestyle.

6.  How did Paleolithic people adapt to their environment and use tools to help them survive?  Lived as nomads searching for food to eat, and lived in caves to keep warm.  No, no, no…..This is not my idea of a good life. I wouldn’t survive without my curling iron and blow dryer.

7.  How did life change for people during the Neolithic Age?  No longer nomads (stayed in one place)  Villages & communities developed  Sophisticated tools  Specialized jobs  More trade took place  Learned to farm  This lifestyle is more appealing to me; however, I still need my curling iron, blow dryer, and indoor plumbing.
