1. How Did Humans Impact Their Environment Taylor Thompson Peirod-9 Mrs. Magee/Mrs.Voelker

2. Introduction • This my talent 21 project for social studies of 2012 year. I have read about hunters and gatherers and different tribes from different time zones and they may have even been a year apart but there were totally different. So threw out this presentation you will learn about different families that could have lived 100 to a 1,000 or even longer then that so just relax and watch.

3. After Glacier Age • About 110,000 to 10,000 years ago. • The last glacial period is sometimes called the "last ice age", though this use is wrong because an ice age is a longer period of cold temperature in which ice sheets cover large parts of the Earth, such as Antarctica.

4. Early Man • Early human are special because he could stand up. There main thing that was different between early man and apes are the hands. • They made tools the first tool maker lived in Africa and he was very tall. • People say that he had a bigger brain then most people he had to fight or they would kill him.

5. Early Farmers • Before farming, people lived by hunting wild animals and gathering wild plants. When supplies ran outthe made them there self. • Farming meant that people did not need to travel to get something. • They built walls around there farms to protect them from other people and wild animals.

6. Mesopotamia • Around 150 BC Mesopotamia was under the control of the ParthainsMesopotamia became a battleground. • Mesopotamia is the land between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, both of which have their head waters in the mountains.

7. Egypt • They did the mummification process to the kings because they thought there soul would come back to them in the dead • Built pyramids were they put the people that died so there souls could be free and people could visit them. • They controlled the Nile rivers flooding by digging dikes, ditch's, and building dams.

8. Greece • The Aegean Sea lies to the east of mainland Greece, the Ionian Sea to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. • Eighty percent of Greece consists of mountains, of which Mount Olympus is the highest at 2,917m.

9. Rome • With 2.8 million residents in 1,285.3 it is also the country's largest and most populated place and fourth-most populous city. • Rome is the capitol of Italy. • the lands next to the Mediterranean for over seven hundred years from the 1st century BC until the 7th century AD.

10. Conclusion • In my power point I talked about a bunch of different time periods and how people lived back then. • They had to make everything out of had they could not go to the mall to get a shirt or go to ShopRite to get milk. • They did not have that really of a good life • Thanks for watching!!!!!!!
