Journal Take the following Hominids & put them in chronological order. Draw a picture of each one.
Homo Erectus
Neanderthals
Homo Habilis
Cro Magnon
Australopithecus

5. Answer Key Australopithecus- “Southern Ape”4 to 1 million years ago
Homo Habilis -“ Man of Skills”, “Handy man” 1st maker of stone tools, million years ago
Homo Erectus- "Upright Walking Man”, hunt, made tools, 2 million to 200,000
Neanderthals- 200,000 BCE – 40,000 BCE
Cro Magnon - 40,000 BCE – 10,000 BCE

6. Homo Habilis “Man of Skills”
Name that Hominid
Homo Habilis
“Man of Skills”

7. Name that Hominid

8. The First Humans
Theories on prehistory and early man constantly change as new evidence comes to light Louis Leakey, British archaeologist

9. Early Discoveries

10. Paleolithic Age ( Old Stone Age )
Stages of Early
Human Development
1. 4,000,000 BCE – 1,000,000 BCE
Paleolithic Age ( Old Stone Age )
2,500,000 BCE to 8,000 BCE
2. 1,500,000 BCE ,000 BCE
,000 BCE – 30,000 BCE
4. 30,000 BCE -- 10,000 BCE

11. The Paleolithic Age
“Paleolithic” --> “Old Stone” Age
2,500,000 BCE – 10,000 BCE
Made tools
hunting (men) & gathering (women) > small bands of humans
NOMADIC (moving from place to place)

12. Stage 1 4,000,000 BCE – 1,000,000 BCE Australopithecines
Hominids --> any member of the family of two-legged primates that includes all humans.
Australopithecines
An Apposable Thumb

14. Stage 1 HOMO HABILIS ( “Man of Skills” ) found in East Africa.
created stone tools.

15. The Paleolithic Age Purpose??
Humans during this period found shelter in caves.
Cave paintings left behind
Purpose??

16. Homo Erectus “Upright Walking Man”
2.5 million-200,000 years ago E. Africa
Larger and more varied tools
Migrated to Asia and Europe 200k years ago

18. Differing Human Migration Theories
Are we all Africans “under the skin”????

19. Stage 3
200,000 BCE – 10,000 BCE
HOMO SAPIENS ( “Wise Human Being” )
Neanderthals ( 200,000 BCE – 30,000 BCE )
Cro-Magnons ( 40,000 BCE – 10,000 BCE )

20. Stage 3 NEANDERTHALS: Neander Valley, Germany (1856)
First humans to bury their dead.
Made clothes from animal skins.
Lived in caves and tents.

21. Stage 3
NEANDERTHALS:
Early Hut/Tent

22. Stage 3 CRO-MAGNONs: Homo sapiens sapiens (“Wise, wise human” )
By 30,000 BCE they replaced Neanderthals.
WHY???

24. Homo sapiens sapiens in Europe

25. The Last Ice Age
70,000 BCE – 10,000 BCE

26. The Neolithic Revolution Aka Agricultural Revolution
“Neolithic” --> “New Stone” Age
Gradual shift from:
Nomadic lifestyle --> settled, stationery lifestyle.
Hunting/Gathering --> agricultural production and domestication of animals.

28. The Agricultural Revolution
8,000 BCE – 5,000 BCE
Agriculture developed independently in different parts of the world.
SLASH-AND-BURN Farming
Middle East India Central America China Southeast Asia
8,000 BCE 7,000 BCE 6,500 BCE 6,000 BCE 5,000 BCE

29. Impact of the Neolithic Revolution
Social classes emerge
Specialization of labor
Patriarchal societies developed
Domestication of animals
John Greens Crash Course :)

30. The Agricultural Revolution
Why do you think the development of agriculture occurred around the same time in several different places?

31. The Agricultural Revolution
Why do some archaeologists believe that women were the first farmers?

32. Early Settled Communities
Growing crops on a regular basis made possible the support of larger populations.
More permanent, settled communities emerged.
9,000 BCE --> Earliest Agricultural Settlement at JARMO ( northern Iraq ): wheat.

33. Early Settled Communities
8,000 BCE --> Largest Early Settlement at Çatal Hüyük ( Modern Turkey ) --> 6,000 inhabitants
12 cultivated crops
Division of labor
Engaged in trade
Organized religion
An obsidian dagger
Small military

34. Early Settled Communities
Çatal Hüyük

35. The Agricultural Revolution
What role did the food supply play in shaping the nomadic life of hunter- gatherers and the settled life of the farmers?
