  1. Bellringer • Define Prehistory

  2. Agenda • Finish Pre-History notes • The Paleolithic Era • Hunter-gatherer life • Summarizing Text

  3. Objectives Students will be able to… • Define and describe culture. • List the major advances early humans made during the Paleolithic Era. • Describe hunter-gatherer life.

  4. Skills Objectives Students will be able to… • Take effective notes from textbook readings. • Interpret information presented in charts and graphs. • Create efficient summaries of written texts. S S S

  5. Fossils • Solidified remains of living things

  6. Using Artifacts • Some assembly required • Like a giant puzzle with no idea what the picture will be • What if we use things for different purposes? • If we know what, do we know when? • Some things get lost

  7. Objective #2 Studying the Past • Archeology • Anthropology

  8. Archeology • The study of the human past by examining artifacts and remains • Excavation • Hoping to find ancient settlements, burial sites, tools, etc.

  9. Carbon Dating • A scientific test used to analyze the age of artifacts and fossils • (based on the half-life decay of Carbon-14… ask a science teacher) • Pretty accurate for the last 40,000 years or so

  10. Anthropology • Study of human origins, relationships, and cultures • Try to determine how humans evolved (physically and culturally) • Archeology is a subfield of anthropology • What is culture?

  11. Objective #3 Culture • Culture is a system of beliefs, values, and assumptions about life that guide behavior and are shared by a group of people • Everyone has culture • What does culture include?

  12. Our Culture • What will archeologists and anthropologists use to understand our culture in 10,000 years?

  13. Objective #4 Early Humans

  14. Early Humans • Start our story at the dawn of the Paleolithic Era, about 2.5 million years ago • the Old Stone Age • Humans created the first tools made out of stone

  15. Better than Monkeys • Early humans developed • Simple stone tools • Control of fire • Oral language • All keys to cooperating in hunts, which bring food and resources

  16. Wise Man • Smarter, larger-brained humans known as homo sapiens(Latin for “wise man”) • Developed technology • Clothing • Shelter • Art • Homo sapiens are modern humans

  17. Out of Africa • Homo sapiens arose in Africa about 200,000 years ago • Migration to all continents (except Antarctica) beginning around 100,000 years ago

  18. Out of Africa Why? Why did ancient humans leave Africa?

  19. Objective #5 Hunter-gatherer Life People Profiles

  20. Source of Food • Hunting • Main source, whatever they could catch, kill, and cook! • Gathering • Wild fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, etc. • Get it? Hunter-gatherers!

  21. Size of Groups • Small groups • Clans: 60-100 people, one or a few extended families • Why?

  22. Permanent Settlements • No! They were nomads • Why move? • Follow herds • No food left • Seasons change • Too cold or hot • No water left

  23. Location Factors • Mainly, Paleolithic (and prehistoric) people followed their food • Animals migrate, so did the people • Overpopulation (of people) • Overconsumption (of resources in one spot)

  24. Getting Along • Cooperation was necessary for survival • Knew everyone in their clan – all relatives • No private property – no where to put it • No fighting other groups – no one around • Finding food…just not that hard

  25. Charts and Graphs

  26. Summarizing Text

  27. Some Terms • Summarize • Paraphrase • Plagiarize

  28. Some Tips • Use structure and organization • Include major details • Leave out unimportant information • Show connections between ideas • DON’T COPY THE TEXT!!!

  29. Some Practice • Read the excerpt from page 12 of your textbook and write a VERY short summary

  30. Bad Sample • For a long time people used to wander like nomads. Cro-Magnons hunted and gathered. Then they made technology and hunted better.

  31. Good Sample • Over time, humans became more effective at finding food. At first, nomads moved often to find more food to hunt or gather. Later, Cro-Magnons invented tools and then technology (like knives and needles) to improve their lives.

  32. Some More Practice • Read the article about cannibalism and write a short summary

  33. Ending Class • All the summarizing practice goes under Tools in your binder • Homework: Guided Reading notes for Chapter 1.2!
