  6. Migrations

  7. Maintaining Life • Food Gathering Mostly vegetable. 1 Sq. Mile for 2 people • Tool Making 2 million to 4,000 years ago used stone tools (also bone and wood) • Hunting: meat choppers  hand axes  Knives, spears, bows and arrows (7 hrs. every 3 days)

  8. Social Life • Gender Divisions • Men  Hunting • Women  Gathering • Family Life: • Size of clans • 20-50 people • Two-parent family • Why did this become necessary?

  9. Agricultural Revolutions • Why the shift? • Domestication and Semi-cultivation • New Technology: Slash-and-burn and swidden agriculture • Why not call it the Neolithic Revolution?

  10. Key Elements • Animal Domestication Dog first, then sheep, goats, cattle, water buffalo, pigs • Selective Breeding • Mixed farming and herding  Largely determined by environmental factors

  11. Ecological Crisis • Why did so many adopt Agriculture? (Holocene) • Why did others still reject agriculture? Pastoralism ruled in N. America, Australia, and Northern Eurasia • Demographic Shifts: 2 million people 13,000 years ago, 50-100 million people 7,000 years ago.

  12. Life in Neolithic Communities • Benefits and Risks? • Violent or peaceful process? • Expansion = surpluses and slow rate • Rise of Institutions Nuclear families (no), kinship networks (yes)

  13. Cultural Expressions • Religion Shift to focus on Earth Mother, Sky God, and ancestor cults • Language  Likely necessitated out of trade (Similarity in language groups)

  14. Making Comparisons I need 11 volunteers to come to the front of the room.

  15. Practice: Identify a difference.

  16. Practice: Identify a similarity.

  17. Direct Comparisons: • What characteristics could we use to compare an Apple and an Orange? • If we wanted to compare their appearance, would it be appropriate to say that one is orange and the other has a smooth, somewhat shiny appearance? • Reorganize your groups into new categories using DIRECT comparisons. Remember, you must have at least 3 groups, and at least 2 artifacts in each group. • If we wanted to compare two societies, what characteristics could we use?

  18. GRAPES Comparison • Geography • Religion • Achievements • Politics • Economics • Social Structure
