Foundations Objective: compare the creation myths, their purpose in a culture and compared to archeological evidence what they tell us.
Finish Human Origins Stations • Purpose: • What do we know about the Origins of Humans, what information do we know about the hominids? • How do we know that information? • What are some controversy/ arguments about the origins of humans?
Based in Evidence, Based in Culture • Stations were to gather evidence • Evidence can only tell you so much about a culture • Their culture, what they choose to believe in can provide a well rounded understanding of a group
Creation Myths • 1. Time myth was written • 2. In the story what do most of the gods control? • 3. Any geographical connection? • 4. What is their knowledge level, what do they know? • 5. What is the purpose of humans, why did the gods create them?
Foundations • Objective: • To define the Paleolithic lifestyle, using primary and secondary sources as well as the “paleo. Diet”.
Why the Latin Names? • Binomial Nomenclature • Generic name: genus (a group of related species) • Specific epithet, adjective describing members of a genus, the species is the basic unit of clarification for a group of individuals in a population
Human Origins • Archeologist: are specially trained scientists who work like detectives to uncover the story of prehistoric peoples • Anthropologists: study artifacts, study culture or a people’s unique way of life • Paleontologist: use complex techniques to date ancient fossil remains and rocks • Hominids: humans or other people who walk upright
Human Origins continued • Lucy: “lucy in the sky with diamonds”, upright walking • Old Stone Age: Paleolithic • 2.5 million B.C.E to 8000 B.C.E.: stone chopping tools, spear • Occurred during the ice age • Technology, 1.6 million years ago, first to migrate or move • Neanderthals: 200,000 and 30,000 B.C.E.: religious beliefs, funeral flowers, a world beyond the grave?, human expression • Cro-Mangons: tools, planed their hunts, • How do we know? • Fossils, tools, cane paintings • New Stone Age: Neolithic • 8000 B.C.E. to 3000 B.C.E.: polished stone tools, pottery, crops and cattle
Paleo. Diet • No Wheat • No dairy • What are these people basing their diet on?
Handout • Class split into groups • Jig-saw, what is life like in your segment • Meeting up with the other • Can we relate this information back to the paleo. Diet? • Why are some saying it is better for you?
Exit • Your favorite paleo. Meal: • No mac’ and cheese • No pizza • No hot chocolate (unless made with water) • No coffee (agriculture)
