  3. Paleolithic Man (yes – cavemen!) Click me • Paleolithic man was able the overcome their physical limitations • Paleolithic Man showed us the following characteristics, • They lived in clans • They were nomadic • They developed oral language • They created cave art • They used fire, and • They developed simple tools

  4. Neolithic Man – Old MacDonald! • Neolithic man advances rapidly and brings us to the “doorstep” of civilization • Neolithic Man showed us the following characteristics • agricultural revolution • domestication of animals • invention of the pottery wheel • weaving of cloth • use of advanced tools and animal-drawn carts Click Here Not that Neo!

  5. Life before civilizations Click here • Four Million years of history in two classes!

  6. The tools of the trade Click here • We find stuff about our past all the time (in the ground, in basements of house, in tombs) • How do we know the “age” of the object • The big split is Pre-history versus history • The time before written records is pre-history (around 4000 to 3300 BCE/BC). There is no way we can tell for sure what actually happened • When we finally write stuff down we can look into the past and call that history. We have a better idea of our past because we can read about it

  7. Fossils/artifacts and representative sites or ages Click here • The other ways that we date things • Is it a fossil (once alive) or and artifact (made). If it was once alive and it’s less than 50,000 years old we can use radio carbon dating to figure out its age • Is it from a place that we know about in history? Does it look like stuff from a point in history where we found other stuff?
