  2. Early Humans

  3. 65 Million Years Ago Dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. The first human like hominids did not appear until around 3 million years ago. Thus, no matter what you may have seen in the movies, early man did not live during the same period in history as dinosaurs!

  4. The “Stone Ages”- depend upon tools • Old Stone Age – Paleolithic Era • Lasted till about 10,000 years ago • Middle Stone Age – Mesolithic Era • Began about 10,000 – 5,000 years ago • New Stone Age – Neolithic Era • Began about 10,000 years ago (some places) • Southwest Asia

  5. Very Early Humans It was during this time that the higher primates, including apes and early man, first appeared. There was a difference between apes and man. Early human-like hominids could stand upright. Apes could not. Their hands were different, too. Ape hands were made for climbing and clinging. Man’s hands were jointed differently, which allowed them to make and use tools.

  6. Australopithecus • Name means “southern ape”

  7. Australopithecus • Appeared in Africa about 4-5 million years ago • Stood upright and walked on two legs (also known as Bipedal) • Brain 1/3 size of humans • “Lucy” about 3’6” • 1974, Ethiopia, Johanson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANr9sZYZXdQ

  8. Homo habilis • Name means “handy man” • Appeared in Africa about 2.4 million years ago • Brain was about 1/2 the size of modern humans

  9. Homo habilis • Used stone tools for scraping, chopping • Process food (roots, bones, meat) • “The Chopper” • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiO8GpuF7aA

  10. Homo erectus • Name means “upright man” • Appeared in Africa about 1.5-2 million years ago • 1st to walk 100% upright

  11. Homo erectus • Used early stone tools like the hand ax • Learned to control fire • Migrated out of Africa to Asia & Europe

  12. Homo sapiens • Modern day humans (you are a Homo sapien) • Name means “wise man” • Appeared in Africa about 200,000 years ago • Migrated around the world • Last continent reached – South America

  13. Homo sapiens • Same species as modern human beings • Learned to create fire and use a variety of tools • Art! (Cave art is not from other hominids)

  14. Homo sapiens • Fully Developed Language • Other hominids had basic language… • The Ouch Theory • The Bow-Wow Theory • The Yo-heave-Ho Theory • The La-La Theory • The goo-goo Theory • The Mama-Dada Theory • Hunting? • Manufacturing Tools
