Society– a community of people who share a common culture
Hunter-Gathers– people who hunt animals and gather wild plants, seeds, fruits, and nuts to survive
Distribute– to divide among a group of people

9. Hominid– an early ancestor of humans Ancestor– a relative who lived in the past
Scientist classify early humans as hominids
Modern day humans are called “Homo sapiens” also known as “wise men”
They appeared in Africa about 200,000 years ago

Hunters-gathers lived in small groups and during bad weather they were sheltered by caves.
They sometimes had to move when water or food became scarce.
Men usually traveled in herds to hunt.

11. Bell Ringer September 11th, 2017 Paleolithic Language, Art, Religion
In composition book:
Language = most important development
Art = way to communicate and make hunting easier
Religion = believe to have started due to artifacts and food being found in burial sites.

12. Chapter 2 Section 2
Early Human Migration

13. 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

14. 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
