  2. Taking notes from my presentations… • DO NOT WRITE WORD-FOR-WORD • This will be waaaay too much work for you • I never ask questions on assessments requiring an exact quote from the notes • Jot down SUMMARIZED info and keywords • Put things in YOUR OWN words • This requires you to understand the material before you can write it down. Simply copying is NOT learning • KISS = Keep It Short and Sweet, use abbreviations • DO NOT WRITE DOWN ANY WORDS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!!! • Make a list and expand your vocabulary

  3. What is history? • History is defined as a narrative of past events of a particular people, country, period, person, etc., usually written as a chronological account

  4. Historical Scientists • Many scientists work as a team to make new discoveries about how prehistoric people lived • Archaeologists- excavate and study traces of early settlements. • Anthropologists- study past cultures for behavior and social patterns. • Paleontologists- use techniques to date ancient remains.

  5. Archaeologists “Ice Man” Otzi – pg 15 “Lucy” – pg 7

  7. Paleontologists

  8. Human Species • Homo Erectus: First migrating humans (from Africa) • Homo Sapiens: Modern day humans • Neanderthals: religious beginnings, cavemen, hunters with tools • Cro-Magnon: superior hunter lead to bigger population, spoken language, created art

  10. Cave Paintings • Interesting facts: • Most focused on hunters and animals. • stick figures for people, but the animals were well drawn with more shape and substance. • In order to reach the places where cave paintings have been found, Cro-Magnon man had to crawl on his belly, through mazes of narrow, dark tunnels, by the light of a flicking torch or a spoon-like oil lamp, and carrying the paints he had carefully prepared • Were discovered accidentally. The caves in Lascaux, France were found around 1940, during World War II, by some kids. They stumbled across the entrance to a cave that had been hidden by the roots of a tree.

  11. TPEQEA – Choose one prompt • How is the work of anthropologists valuable for people living today? • In order for civilizations to develop, why was it essential for man to first have tools? • What does the artistic style of cave paintings tell us about the lives of Cro-Magnon?

  12. For homework… • Choose a favorite quote that you will depict in cave painting style • Bring this written down with you tomorrow • You may not use the quotes I have around my classroom
