  3. Historian – a person who studies and writes about human past • artifacts – weapons, tools and other man made items made from earlier humans • fossil – trace or imprint of a plant or animal that has been preserved in a rock • anthropologist – focuses on human society; studies how humans developed and relate to one another; scientist who studies the physical characteristics and culture of humans and their ancestors • nomad – person who regularly moves from place to place • technology – tools and methods to help humans perform tasks • domesticate – to tame animals or plants for human use • specialization – the development of different kind of jobs

  4. Friday, September 2 • Do your own Archaeological Dig in the text book Ch1.1. • Create your own graphic organizer and fill in a summary statement for each topic: *tools *characteristics *adapting *Ice Ages *language *Art *Religion * Example

  5. Early Humans –PaleolithicOld Stone Age- 2.5 mil years ago until 8000 B.C. • Lived in small groups of nomads • Gathered plants and fruits • Discovered how to use fire • Started to speak a language • Created cave paintings • Hunted and fished • Made stone tools and weapons • Built shelters

  6. Early Man Paleolithic people adapted to their environment and invented many tools to help them survive.

  7. Paleolithic Age • Paleolithic means old stone in the Greek language. • Lasted from about 2.5 million years ago until about 8,000 B.C. • People of this Age were considered Hunter-Gatherers. They spent most of their time moving around to find food.

  8. Paleolithic Age (cont.) • Nomad – People who regularly move from place to place. • Women mainly stayed close to the campsite and gathered nuts and berries. • Men mainly hunted animals. Some had to travel great distances. At first they used clubs or chased animals off cliffs. Over time, they invented spears, traps, bows and arrows.

  9. Paleolithic Age (cont.) • Paleolithic people had to adapt to their environment. Those living in warm climates had little need for clothing or shelter. Those living in colder climates used animal skin and caves to stay warm. • The people eventually were able to make fire to stay warm and cook food by rubbing wooden sticks together.

  10. Paleolithic Age (cont.) • The Ice Age which lasted about 100,000 years forced people to adapt by changing their diet and to make clothing. • Paleolithic people were able to invent a spoken language and express beliefs through art. • Technology – tools and methods used to help humans perform tasks

  11. Paleolithic Main Ideas • Humans in the Paleolithic Age were hunter-gatherers. • They were nomads that moved around from place to place in search of food, water, and shelter.

  12. Paleolithic Tools

  13. World Migration • So, once there were people on the earth, how did the earth become populated? • http://player.discoveryeducation.com/?blnPreviewOnly=1&guidAssetId=ec6b5b96-f069-40ee-9c01-47ec4bd93a96

  14. Cave Paintings

  15. Vocab • Technology- tools and methods to help humans perform tasks • Domesticate- tame animals and plants for human use • Specialization- development of different kinds of jobs

  16. Neolithic Times In the Neolithic Age, people started farming, building communities, producing goods, and trading.

  17. Early Humans- NeolithicNew Stone Age 8000 B.C.– 4000 B.C. • Lived in villages • Made farming tools (copper & bronze) • Created wall paintings • Farming revolution • Raised animals and traded • Specialized jobs • Hunted and fished • Made stone tools and weapons • Built shelters

  18. Neolithic village Skara Brae Orkney's Neolithic Village This remarkably well preserved village is one of very few archaeological sites where it is actually possible to imagine the life style of the inhabitants. First revealed after a severe storm in 1850, this prehistoric community was occupied for about 600 years. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the site was occupied from before 3100 BC to about 2600 BC.

  19. Neolithic Pottery

  20. Wednesday • E What is the differences between Paleolithic and Neolithic humans? 6.1.2 • A review HW – Venn on Paleolithic vs. Neolithic • T Otzi the Iceman – How did he survive? Video

  21. Wednesday cont. • Adapting: • Fire • Caves • Animal skins • Tools: • Stone • Spear • bones • Language: • Talking began Paleolithic Man Ice Age: 100,000 bc to 8000bc Fire • Art: • Cave paintings • Hunting pics • Crushed rock • Characteristics: • searching for food • Nomads • Men hunted • Women gathered • Religion: • Pics of hunt were lucky

  22. Thursday, September 8 • J#4 Describe the Farming Revolution p. 13 • What’s the weirdo thing that happened during the Farming Revolution? • Using the map and legend on page 13, decide which continent you would have liked to live in based on the kind of food the Neolithic people grew • How is it that we can grow these foods all over the US now? • Brain POP Agricultural Revolution

  23. Neolithic Notes: Why was Farming Important? • Some historians consider farming the most important event in human history. • Farming was discovered by many groups of people around the same time period. • Farming allowed people to begin to settle in one place.

  24. Neolithic Notes: Animals • Domesticate – tame plants and animals for human use. • Animals provided meat, milk, and wool. • They were also used to carry goods and pull carts.

  25. Neolithic Notes The Growth of Villages • Farming allowed people to begin settlements. They no longer needed to move around, or be nomads. • Farmers had to stay close to their fields and water plants and keep away hungry animals. • They began to live in villages and make permanent homes.

  26. Neolithic Notes: Villages (cont.) • Villages began in Europe, India, Egypt, China, and Mexico. The earliest known villages are found in the Middle East. • Two of the oldest villages are Jericho in present day Israel and Catal Huyuk in present day Turkey. • Villagers lived in mud-brick houses.

  27. Neolithic Notes: Benefits of a Settled Life • People had greater security. They now could count on a steady food supply which gave greater health. • Population began to grow steadily allowing farmers to produce even larger crops. • Farmers were able to trade away extra crops.

  28. Neolithic Notes:Benefits (cont.) • Specialization – development of different kinds of jobs. • Not everyone was needed for farming. • Some made pottery to store grains and foods. • Toolmakers to create better farming tools. Early toolmakers used copper and eventually moved to bronze.

  29. Neolithic Main Ideas • Farming changed the way people lived. • Farming allowed people to settle in one place, starting settlements. • Farming increased the population. • People began to specialize in different jobs.
