  1. Early Humans and how they survived

  2. How Did They Survive? • They were hunter-gatherers whose survival depended on the availability of wild plants and animals. • They were also nomadic, travelling around in search of plants and animals to eat. • They slowly invented tools and other things. This allowed them to hunt more efficiently.

  3. Early People con’t • They were nomadic people, meaning they travelled around searching for food, water, and shelter. • During the Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age), they invented the first tools and weapons. • They lived in clans and invented oral language to communicate with each other.

  4. The Agricultural Revolution • About 10,000 years ago, humans began farming. Agriculture provided a more steady food source than hunting and gathering plants. • Agriculture was probably made possible by a change in climate that allowed for longer growing seasons.

  5. Domestication • Along with agriculture came the domestication of animals. By keeping animals in enclosed areas, people could wait until they needed to eat to slaughter the animals.
