2. How responsible are you for the food you eat each day? Do this on Page 24 ISN – 9/11 Early Humans (Include the Date and Title) In your ISN list any meal you had yesterday. How responsible were you for its preparation? Record your answers Did you grow it or raise it? Milk it or harvest it? Clean and cook it? Full sentences, not just yes or no. Describe exactly what you did to obtain and prepare the meal. If you were not 100% responsible, explain how that meal got to you. Draw a cartoon describing your participation in obtaining and preparing your meal. Color is important– BUT ONLY COLORED PENCILS please.

6. Paleolithic or Old Stone Age the earliest known periods of human culture, characterized by the use of stone implements of or relating to the cultural period of the Stone Age beginning with the earliest chipped stone tools, about 750,000 years ago, until the end of the last ice age about 8,500 years B.C.

7. 750,000BC to about 8500 BC Chipped stone tools to end of last ice age

8. Paleolithic The Stone Age The Paleolithic is also called The Stone Age. Hunters and Gatherers nomadic For 2.5 million years humans lived nomadic lives of hunters and gatherers. scarcity This era was one of continuous scarcity. All human energy was devoted to daily securing enough food to survive. All members of the community had to be involved in this all-consuming task.

9. Paleolithic Hunter-Gatherers Adapt to Environments hunter-gatherers Early humans were hunter-gatherers Nomads Nomads – people who move from place to place hunted animals, gathered plants for food moved to a new location when food ran out Depended on natural environment for shelter lived in caves and shelters made of rocks, branches, animal skins SMALL BANDS Lived in small bands of about 30 people Groups included several families group size reflected how many people could live off food in region Men hunted, fished Women gathered nuts, berries; cared for children children also worked

10. Early Humans on the Move Hunter-gatherers were nomads —people who moved from place to place Groups returned to the same places with the changes of seasons bands joined together at certain times of year, formed communities Moved to new, distant lands while following animals to hunt migration migration—moving from one place to settle in another By 15,000 B.C., hunter-gatherers had migrated through much of world crossed land bridge between Siberia and Alaska, entering Americas Migrating groups entered territory of other groups groups shared knowledge, tools sometimes caused violent conflicts if groups feared each other

11. Paleolithic The Use of Fire  Early humans made and controlled fire around 500,000 years ago  Fire  Fire provided heat and light, cooked food  also protected from animals, tempered metal tools ice ages  Fire also allowed humans to survive ice ages – long periods of extreme cold  100,000 B.C. to 8,000 B.C. thick ice sheets covered parts of Europe, Asia, and North America The Development of Technology  Technology  Technology—the way knowledge, tools, inventions are applied to meet needs  Stone tools  Stone tools for cutting were made at least 2 million years ago  other tools included axes, bags, awls, drills  Later complex tools included bows, flint spearheads, metal tools  Tools were used to hunt and butcher animals, build simple shelters  Technology helped humans control environment, led to settled lives

12. Neolithic or New Stone Age Neolithic Age The Neolithic Age began about 8500 B.C. and ended between 4500 B.C. and 2000 B.C. depending on what part of the world you were in. It dramatically changed the way that early humans lived. Two important factors began the Neolithic Revolution: the development of agriculture called the Agricultural Revolution domestication the domestication of animals and plants These two changes allowed people to stay in one spot instead of wandering from place to place following their main food source (animals). Somehow Neolithic people learned how to plant and raise crops and keep and raise livestock for food. Now people were put in the situation of living together permanently and as a result much cooperation was needed for survival and civilizations started to arise.

13. Neolithic or New Stone Age Domestication To tame animals and plants for human use Animals – provided meat, milk, and wool, carried goods, pulled carts, Plants – grains and vegetables allowed people to settle in one place, provided food and fiber Agricultural Revolution or Agrarian Revolution These changes led to some of the most important developments in human history Farming developed in many different parts of the world at about the same time People began to stay in permanent villages With the increased amount of food and time people began to… Build mud-brick houses, places of worship, work at specialized jobs, and create new tools using bronze and copper

15. Job Specialization Not everyone needed to farm so some developed other types of skills like making pottery, mats, weaving, tools, working with metals, and worshiping their gods Villages are settled permanently – people are not following animals or moving by season Increased food leads to population growth and increased leisure time Agricultural Revolution Domestication of animals Farming replaces hunting-gathering

17. Problems Ancient People Needed to Overcome to Create Civilizations 1. a stable source of food that would generate a surplus 2. cooperation to control the flooding of rivers 3. an ability to accurately record food supplied to them 4. a way to communicate non- verbally 5. a need for people to feel an attachment to the civilization 6. the ability to introduce new ways of thinking and doing things
