  18. Man and Dinosaur did not live at the same time A century = 100 yrs. / Also 18th century = 1700-1790 AD , or 1st century = 0-100 AD Other cultures use different calendars or years (The Jewish / Hebrew Calendar for example it is the year 5772) Misconceptions or weak concepts

  22. Would you Date this Person- First Humans

  23. They came out of the “Horn of Africa” 4 million years ago Therefore we are all technically African Why do we look different today? First Humans

  24. Time period where tools, language, and mastery of fire started LET’S START THE TIME LINE!!! Paleolithic Age: 2.5 million BC – 8000 B.C. Neolithic Age : 8000 BC – 3000 BC The Stone Age

  25. Mostly Ice Age which ended in 10,000 BC First Technology = ways of applying knowledge, tools, and inventions to meet their needs. Tools were made of stone and bone to hunt and carve. Hunt using fire and weapons Paleolithic Age

  26. They drove herds of animals off cliffs. People also started to migrate during this time. Migration - movement of a people from one region to another Hunter-gatherer- nomad whose food supply depends on hunting animals and collecting plant foods People start creating art as well cont.

  27. Lasted from 8000 BC – 3000 BC When humans went from hunter-gatherers to Agriculture = farming and domestication of animals Domestication- the taming of animals for human use This meant that they would stay in one place. Land ownership and semi-permanent settlements started happening. Neolithic Revolution (VERY IMPORTANT!!)

  28. Nomads began to scatter seeds near camps which led to selective farming (wheat, corn, etc.) Climate change: rising temperatures led to drier land (leads to irrigation) and longer growing seasons Population was growing so more food sources were discovered Reasons it happened

  29. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yocja_N5s1I Make a list of advantages and disadvantages to agriculture Notes on herding animals Thoughts after… Neolithic revolution

  30. Since farming allowed for more food not everyone in the village had to farm. People began to find new specializations like craftsmen (making metalwork, pottery, cloth, etc,) We also invented the sail and wheel to migrate and trade better Social classes stated to form based on wealth Changes
