29. Summarize this image As humans progressed…

30. BRAIN SIZE INCREASED!

31. Pencils down… Identify the three latest stages in human development Level 1 question 1.Homo habilis 2.Homo erectus 3.Homo sapiens

32. Describe the three latest stages in human development Level 2 question Fill in….. 1.Homo habilis started using tools 2.Homo erectus began to migrate and spread out across the earth 3.Homo sapiens settled down and formed the first permanent civilizations

33. What stage of development is this? Homo habilis Earliest tools were simply stones, wood and bone Size and sharpness were likely what mattered most. Towards the end of the stage – the making of tools would begin

34. What stage is there the earliest evidence of the use of fire? Homo Erectus Campfire evidence in Neanderthal caves. Homo sapiens expanded their use of fire for more than just warmth.
