HUMANS TRY TO CONTROL NATURE ACHIEVEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY AND ART 40,000 years ago!

PROGRESS DURING THE OLD STONE AGE The Old Stone Age: Also called the PALEOLITHIC AGE Lasted from 2.5 million to 8000 B.C. Invention of tools, mastery over fire, and development of language took place during this age. The Old Stone Age 2.5 millionB.C. 8000B.C. The Ice Age occurs 3000B.C. The New Stone Age

PROGRESS DURING THE NEW STONE AGE The New Stone Age: Also called the NEOLITHIC AGE Lasted from 8000 B.C. to 3000 B.C. Early humans learned to polish stone tools, make pottery, grow crops, and raise animals.

ACHIVEMENTS IN ART AND TECHNOLOGY A NEW TOOL KIT Old Stone Age men and women were NOMADIC. *please define this with your partners on your sheet. They were also HUNTERS and GATHERERS *please define on your sheet Early humans had over 100 different tools to help kill and butcher game/catch fish

ACHIVEMENTS IN ART AND TECHNOLOGY PALEOLITHIC ART Made necklaces of seashells, lion teeth, and bear claws; polished beads of mammoth tusks Art paintings were created Painted from charcoal, mud, and animal blood Painted on large rocks and caves

STOP!!!! Three Muskateers Game/M&M Game How did the Neolithic People (living from around 8000BC-3000BC) change the way humans live FOREVER??!!!

THE NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION Listen to Ms. Leider’s interesting story of how agriculture began! In your own words, what happened?

THE NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION Definition of NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION: Agricultural Revolution Shift from food-gathering to food producing culture One of the greatest breakthroughs in ALL of HUMAN HISTORY!!!!!!

THE NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION CAUSES OF THE AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION Change in climate-the earth warmed up! Rich supply of grain could support a large population As population rose, more demand was placed on hunters-naturally turned to farming!

THE NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION EARLY FARMING METHODS SLASH AND BURN METHOD: farmers cut trees/grasses and burned them to clear a field They would plant for a 1-2 years on the field Then they would move on, trees/grass would grow back, and the process was repeated

THE NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION DOMESTICATION OF ANIMALS Farmers began to TAME animals Horses, dogs, goats, and pigs Developed very slowly at first! Began to enclose the animals as constant food source and taming

THE NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION Jarmo REVOLUTION IN JARMO Area in modern-day Iraq, near Zargos Mountains First agricultural settlement there About 9000 years ago! Laid the foundation of modern life Once had wild wheat and barley, wild goats, Pigs, sheep, and horses

VILLAGES GROW AND PROSPER FARMING DEVELOPS IN MANY PLACES Africa: The Nile River Valley for wheat, barley, and other crops China: Chang Jiang River delta domesticated wild rice Mexico and Central America: Farmers cultivated corn, beans, and squash Peru: Farmers in Central Andes grew tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and white potatoes

CHECKPOINT USE YOUR OWN STUDY GUIDE TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION We will check your answers when I say time is up. Your pencils must be put down at that time! WHAT ADVANTAGES DID FARMING AND HERDING HAVE OVER HUNTING AND GATHERING?
