12
Prehistory to Early Civilizations

• Paleolithic Era

Civilization
Neolithic Era
13
Prehistory

• The period of time before writing existed
• It includes the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras

14
Paleolithic Era2 million BCE to 8000 BCE

• old stone age
• lasted from the appearance of man until the
  development of agriculture (farming)

15

• Where are the oldest remains of humans found?

16
East Africa
17
Homo Sapiens

• (Modern man) Emerged in Africa between 100,000
  and 400,000 years ago

18
How did geography affect the lives of early
humans?
19

• Early humans were hunters and gatherers whose
  survival depended on the availability of wild
  plants and animals
• They were nomadic (they migrated in search of
  food, water, and shelter).

20

• They migrated from Africa to Eurasia, Australia,
  and the Americas

21
Migration Out of Africa
22
What were the characteristics of hunter-gatherer
societies during the Paleolithic era?
23

• Because they followed herds of animals they lived
  in temporary shelters (caves and tents).

24

• Spent most of their time hunting or gathering
  food and water necessary for survival.

25

• Lived in clans (extended family groups)

26
Technology

• The way people apply knowledge, tools, and
  inventions to meet their needs.

27
What technologies were developed during the
Paleolithic era?
28

• simple tools and weapons (made of stone, wood,
  etc.)

29

• Humans learned how to domesticate both plants and
  animals.

35

• Domesticated (tamed) animals were penned or
  herded to provide a ready supply of meat, milk,
  fur,etc.

Domesticated pig

36
How did the beginning of agriculture and the
domestication of animals promote the rise of
settled communities?
37

• People could settle in one place because they
  didnt have to search for food, water and
  shelter.

38

• They built permanent dwellings and settled in
  small villages

39

• They spent less time searching for food and had
  some 'spare time' in which to innovate and create
  new technologies.

What technologies were developed during the
Neolithic era?
42

• agriculture
• domesticated animals

43
advanced tools and weapons

47
Archaeologists

• Study past cultures by locating and analyzing
  human remains, settlements, fossils, and artifacts

48
Artifacts

• Things made by people

49

• Archaeologists apply scientific tests such as
  carbon dating to analyze fossils and artifacts.

50

• Carbon 14 dating used to find the age of organic
  materials.

(better tools, plows, and irrigation) improved to
the point that in fertile areas people were able
to produce more food then they needed.
