Early Human Migrations
3
Paleolithic Age 2 million to 8,000 BCE
Human evolution Becoming less like animals Learning to adapt and eventually control their environment Development and discovery of technologies
4
Focus Questions What causes people to migrate? How do people survive and adapt to their new environments?
6
Adapting to New Environments
Climate Food Sources Natural Resources Threats Interactions with other Humans Technologies developed to adapt to these new environments Tools made from available resources Tools for hunting/fishing/foraging Items made for trade
7
Indo-European Migrations
8
Diffusion and Isolation
Geography effects cultural development Diffusion cultural elements spread with the migrations of people Languages Belief systems Technologies Similarities in cultures today Isolation Places more isolated develop very unique cultures or a vast number of different culture

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

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

Developments of Paleolithic Age
12,000 BCE–humans evolved physically and mentally to the level of today Opposable thumbs & developed brain Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) Achievements Invention of tools & weapons Language Control of fire Art (sculpture, jewelry, and cave paintings) Humans lived in small bands of hunter-gatherers Nomadic
21
Hunter-Forager Societies
Men hunt and/or fish; women gather fruits, etc. Lived in kinship groups of people Follow migratory patterns of animals Need large portions of land to support themselves Life expectancy was 20 years or less Lascaux Cave, France
22
Hunter-Forager Societies
Developed tools suitable for their environment Stone blades Spear tips Fish hooks Grinding stones Groups were not always self-sufficient Trade with neighboring groups was often necessary Up to 200 mile trade networks Communication between societies
23
Hunter-Forager Societies
Animism Gave spirits or life to non-living things in nature Burying the dead Other Cultural developments Body ornaments Beads Pigments (colors) Figurines Art
24
Archeology Thinking activity Historical Thinking Skills
the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains Thinking activity Historical Thinking Skills Analyzing Evidence Contextualization Synthesis
25
Analyze the Artifacts Make predictions about the people
What is it made of? What was it used for? How was it made? Why did people need it? Make predictions about the people Where did these people live? How did these people live? How did these people use the artifacts to survive/prosper Make sure that your analysis of the artifacts back up your claims

Map 1.3 The Global Spread of Agriculture and Pastoralism
From ten or more separate points of origin, agriculture spread to adjacent areas, eventually encompassing almost all of the world’s peoples.
31
Match the Staple Crops/Animals to the Area in which Farming/Pastoralism first began
Wheat Cattle Barley Sheep Beans Horse Corn Taro Quinoa Peanut Sorghum Millet Rice Fertile Crescent Andean Region (South America) New Guinea East Asia Sudanic Africa Southwest Steppes (Central Asia)

What were the effects of the Neolithic Revolution?
Focus Question What were the effects of the Neolithic Revolution?
33
Origins of Agriculture
34
Neolithic Revolution Around BCE, two discoveries revolutionized human society Farming (1st crops were wheat & barley) Herding (1st domesticated animals were sheep & goats then 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
35
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 Over used the land Desertification Deforestation Top: Artist rendering of the early village of Catal Huyuk; Bottom: statue of a goddess from Catal Huyuk
36
Life in Early Villages Farming Larger Population Food Surplus
Productive and efficient way of feeding a society Farming More people survive More people produce Larger Population Store food More productive farming Food Surplus Skills Cultural development Technologies Specialization
37
Life in Early Villages Specialization Community Leaders
Politics Community Leaders Religious Leaders emerge Economics New skilled jobs toolmakers, miners, craftsman, artisans and merchants, scribes, philosophers, alchemists Socially Men did tough jobs Women’s roles declined Social hierarchies emerged based on skill/job Culturally Increase in technology and cultural developments Pottery, the plow, irrigation, woven textiles, wheeled vehicles, art, math, science, language Specialization
38
Society in Early Villages
New Social Classes Based on specialization of labor Elites – religious and political authorities Warriors Scribes Artisans/Craftsmen Merchants Laborers/Farmers Development of patriarchy Women’s role in social production not as equal Private Property and hereditary inheritance Less respected in societies
39
Technologies in Early Villages
Agriculture Irrigation systems Plow Metallurgy Metal weapons/tools New Metals Bronze Steel Craftsmanship Woven textiles Pottery Engineering Building structures Wheeled vehicles Arts Carvings Sculpting Painting Knowledge Math Science Language Writing systems
40
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
41
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
