2. Unit 1 - Origins Genesis Chapter 1 Chapter 1, Sections 1-3

3. Origins According to Genesis Day 1 - God created light and separated the light from the darkness, calling light "day" and darkness "night." Day 2 - God created an expanse to separate the waters and called it "sky." Day 3 - God created the dry ground and gathered the waters, calling the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters "seas." God also created vegetation (plants and trees). Day 4 - God created the sun, moon, and the stars to give light to the earth and to govern and separate the day and the night. These would also serve as signs to mark seasons, days, and years. Day 5 - God created every living creature of the seas and every winged bird, blessing them to multiply and fill the waters and the sky with life. Day 6 - God created the animals to fill the earth. On day six, God also created man and woman (Adam and Eve) in His own image to commune with him. He blessed them and gave them every creature and the whole earth to rule over, care for, and cultivate. Day 7 - God had finished his work of creation and so he rested on the seventh day, blessing it and making it holy.

5. Human Origins (According to Evolutionists) The Stone Age Old Stone Age (Paleolithic Age) – 2.5 million to 8,000 B.C. people learn to make tools, use fire, and use language. (6000 BC- 4000 BC) New Stone Age (Neolithic Age) – 8,000 B.C. to 3,000 B.C.

6. Hominid Development Australopithecines (4 million- 1 million B.C.) Homo habilis (2.5 million to 1.5 million B.C.) Homo erectus (1.6 million to 30,000 B.C) Neanderthal (200,000 to 30,000 B.C.) Cro-Magnon (40,000 to 8,000 B.C.) Fully modern human

7. Hominid Development Australopithecines (4 million- 1 million B.C.) Found in southern & eastern Africa 1 st humanlike creature to walk upright Homo habilis (2.5 million to 1.5 million B.C.) Found in east Africa 1 st to make stone tools Homo erectus (1.6 million to 30,000 B.C) Found in Africa, Asia, & Europe Neanderthal (200,000 to 30,000 B.C.) Found in Europe & southwest Asia 1 st to have ritual burials Cro-Magnon (40,000 to 8,000 B.C.) Found in Europe Fully modern human, created art

8. Who was Lucy?

9. Human Origins (According to Evolutionists) Homo erectus A more intelligent hominid 1st to use fire and to migrate from Africa. The Dawn of Modern Humans Neanderthals, the first modern humans. Resourceful hunters Have religious beliefs Perform ritual burials Cro-magnons, the first fully modern humans, gradually replace the Neanderthals. Planned hunts Studied animal habits, stalked prey Advanced skill in language

10. Achievements in Technology and Art Paleolithic hunter-gatherers: developed sophisticated tool kits. They used stone, bone, and wood to create over 100 kinds of tools They even used bone needles to sew clothing Created paintings and decorative objects. Necklaces of seashells, lion teeth, bear claws Carved animal sculptures Painted the walls of caves in Europe (paint made of charcoal, mud, and animal blood)

11. Humans Try to Control Nature The Neolithic Revolution The shift from food-gathering to food producing (agriculture) culture represents one of the great breakthroughs in history A warming climate meant longer seasons, drier land for cultivating wild grasses a growing population created a need to find a more steady source of food than hunting provided Early farmers practice slash-and-burn farming and begin to domesticate animals One of the first farming developments occurred in modern day Iraq

13. Humans Try to Control Nature Villages Grow and prosper

14. The Development of Civilization Villages grow into cities Advances in technology yield a surplus of food supply, which allows some people to become specialized workers and to trade with other villages. The social structure of early cities becomes more complex What is a Civilization? 1.Advanced cities 2.Specialized Occupations 3.Complex Institutions 4.Record-keeping Systems 5.Advanced Technology

15. Civilization Cont.: 1.Advanced cities: Large population Center of trade for surrounding areas Farmers, merchants, and traders brought goods to market in the cities The city dwellers also produce a variety of goods for exchange 2.Specialized Workers: Need for more specialized workers emerges in cities Traders, government officials, priests Surplus of food allows members of society to become skilled at work other than farming Emergence of artisans – making goods by hand Making jewelry, tools, weapons, pottery, (etc. )for trade

16. Civilization cont.: 3.Complex institutions The soaring population created a need for government or a system of rule to maintain order Government, religion, and the economy are 3 complex institutions present in each early city

17. Civilization: Cont.: 4.Record Keeping: As gov’t, religion, and the economy became more complex and structured, people recognized the need to keep records The gov’t needed to document tax collections, the passage of laws, and the storage of grain Priests needed to keep track of the yearly calendar and important rituals Merchants had to record accounts of debts and payments Cuneiform is developed as a system of writing People soon began to record their cities’ dramatic events – wars, natural disasters, and the reign of kings … the beginning of recording history

18. Civilization Cont.: 5.Advanced Technology: How do we make this task easier? Faster? More efficient? Answer = new technology Farmers began to harness the power of animals and nature … plows and irrigation systems Artisans used the potter’s wheel to shape jugs, plates, bowls Metalworkers discovered that melting copper and tin together would make bronze Bronze made stronger tools and weapons This leads us into what is known as the Bronze Age
