Chapter 2 Section 2 Early Human Migration

Ice Ages- a period of time of freezing weather Migrate- to move Climate patterns— -Shaped the earth’s geography -caused Old Stone Age people to migrate -these freezing weather patterns = ice ages Land bridges = how stone age people crossed to other continents Each continent had people living there except Antarctica

Mesolithic Middle Stone ages Basic Needs: Adapting to very cold climates= fire and sewing animal skins for clothing Shelter= caves-----pit houses (roofs of branches and trees) Advancements: Shelter= mammoth houses because wood was scarce in Central Asia smaller and more complex tools Hooks and fishing spears Canoes to travel on rivers Pottery
