Early Human Societies

What are the basic characteristics of early human societies? Focus Question What are the basic characteristics of early human societies?

Developments of Paleolithic Age 100,000 BCE–humans develop physically and mentally to the level of today Opposable thumbs & developed brain Paleolithic Achievements Invention of tools & weapons Language Control of fire Art (sculpture, jewelry, and cave paintings) Humans lived in small bands of hunter-gatherers

Hunter-Forager Societies Men hunt and/or fish; women gather fruits, etc. Lived in kinship groups of 20-30 people Follow migratory patterns of animals Need large portions of land to support themselves Life expectancy was 20 years or less Lascaux Cave, France

Hunter-Forager Societies Groups were not always self-sufficient Trade with neighboring groups was often necessary Developed tools suitable for their environment Practiced animism

Migration of Humans

What causes people to migrate? Focus Question What causes people to migrate?

Indo-European Migrations

Bantu Migrations (1500 BCE-500 CE) Bantu people originated in central Africa (Cameroon) Migration triggered by the drying of the Sahara Reach South Africa by 300 CE Introduced agriculture, cattle herding, and iron (?) to Sub-Saharan Africa Become dominant ethnic and language group of Sub-Saharan Africa

What causes technological change? Discussion Question What causes technological change?

What were the effects of the Neolithic Revolution? Focus Question What were the effects of the Neolithic Revolution?

Neolithic Revolution Around 10000 BCE, two discoveries revolutionized human society Farming (1st crops were wheat & barley) Herding (1st domesticated animals were goats, pigs, & cattle) Domesticated animals produced a new type of society called Pastoralists Farming & herding allowed for urban development 1st cities emerged in Middle East (Turkey & Jordan) Jericho and Catal Huyuk

Origins of Agriculture

Pastoral Societies Nomadic peoples who herd domesticated animals Move in search of food for their animals Traditionally more stable than hunter-gatherer societies Develop on marginal land apart from areas suitable for agriculture, often semi-arid regions Interact with agricultural societies

Pastoral Societies Many pastoral nomads lived in kin-related bands numbering up to 100 Tribal membership was defined by recognizing a common ancestry among kinship groups Often called Courage Cultures Warlike males bound to each other by ties of personal loyalty tended to dominate these societies Violence between kinship groups limited the ability of clans and tribes to cooperate Most practice a form of animism or shamanism

Early Villages Earliest villages located in the Middle East Population of early villages evolved from the hundreds to the thousands Probably declined due to environmental degradation Top: Artist rendering of the early village of Catal Huyuk; Bottom: statue of a goddess from Catal Huyuk

Life in Early Villages Full-time political and religious figures emerge as community leaders Specialized workers such as toolmakers, miners, and merchants Despite specialization, well-defined social stratification did not exist Farming & specialization of labor led to a decline in the role of women Farming & specialized labor led to increase in technology Pottery, the plow, irrigation, woven textiles, wheeled vehicles

World Population Growth Intensive agriculture caused human population to jump from 5-8 million to 60 to 70 million in 5,000 years

What are the potential effects of population pressure?

Negative Effects of Population Growth

Rise of Civilization 4th Millennium BCE New discoveries transformed permanent settlements into civilizations Bronze Writing First civilization emerged in Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) c. 3500 BCE
