  3. Answer • Humans showed major advances in the Neolithic Era. • They could • Carve weapons and tools (like needles and hunting tools). • Build shelters, rather than live in caves. • Control fire, providing heat and light. • Use language to communicate. • Start to tame animals and plants, and to begin farming.

  5. Hominids • When humans evolved to being hominids, they had the ability to walk upright on two feet. • This allowed them to use their arms and hands for other purposes than just moving. • They developed stone tools, better abilities to hunt or find foods, and a stronger ability to protect themselves.

  6. Review of Early Humans, from Web Quest • Early humans lived in trees, but later humans lived on the ground and learned to find shelters. • Early humans had smaller brain sizes, and could not use their hands as well. • Later humans had better survival skills, and were ready to start living differently than animals.
