In the beginning, Africa, homo sapiens lived in hunting and gathering societies, which were of social equality. Used stone and bone tools Evidence of possible trade with other groups When they moved, they moved along the coast because it was easier to find food and survive that way. This was called “beach combing”. Lauren

Into Eurasia New hunting habits like using stone tools to open oysters New technologies such as: needles, weavings, baskets Cave paintings mark the first real signs of religion. Lots of theories as to what they were for (depends on your perspective) : Hunting magic (prayer for a good hunt) Reincarnation Rite of passage for young men Dylan

Into Australia BOATS!!! Many new languages migrated to Australia Stayed gatherers and hunters for a very long time (long after the rest of the world switched over to agriculture-based societies) Evidence of many ceremonies, stories, and dances Tools of stone and wood Evan

Into the Americas Theory: most moved into America on the Bering Strait (ice bridge) and down the west coast Coincided with end of ice age (extinction of many large mammals), so a lot of the first civilization there died off. Very little is known about migration into North America Much harder to survive in the Americas, so evidence of a certain time period that they moved here is scattered and not at all exact Lauren

Into the Pacific MORE BOATS!!! Spoke Austronesian languages First to migrate and take agriculture with them (after the ice age) Started building stationary civilizations and cities, etc. Negative impacts on the environment like deforestation, especially Easter Islands Dylan

And then most of the world was inhabited… But migrations never stopped.
