Kevin C. tools used by early people
The document summarizes the evolution of early humans and their development of tools over time. It discusses that the earliest hominids like Australopithecus afarensis lived around 3 million years ago and used found tools like sharp stones. Later, Homo habilis were the first to make tools out of stone around 2 million years ago. Following groups like Homo erectus began making more advanced tools like hand axes and were the first to control fire. Later humans continued developing more complex tools for hunting, fishing, and other tasks, which helped their evolution and survival.
Tools used by early people
Early humans evolved tools to make their lives easier. The first tools, used by Homo habilis around 2 million years ago, were found stones. Later humans developed more advanced tools like hand axes and blades. Tools helped early humans hunt, process food, and protect themselves, driving the evolution to more intelligent species like Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Cro-Magnon. The development of tools such as farming equipment allowed modern humans to survive and spread throughout the world.
Early humans and tools
1) Early human-like creatures from over a million years ago used simple tools like sticks to help them survive, hunt, and gather food.
2) Australopithecus afarensis, the earliest humans, lived 1.2-4 million years ago and gathered food but did not hunt due to their small brains and inability to create tools.
3) Homo habilis were the first to create tools which allowed them to hunt smaller animals using sharpened sticks, though they could not make fire and relied on natural fires.
Early tools
There were several human species that evolved over time and developed increasingly advanced tools. Australopithecus afarensis from 4-1.2 million years ago used basic tools like rocks and sticks but did not make tools. Homo habilis from 2-1.5 million years ago could make and use sharp stone tools to hunt and gather. Homo erectus from 1.6-80,000 years ago controlled fire, made axes and hunted in tribes. Neanderthals from 133,000-32,000 years ago had advanced stone tools and controlled fire well. Homo sapiens Cro-Magnon from 100,000-10,000 years ago invented sewing, bows and arrows,

The document discusses the evolution of early human tools from simple found objects like rocks and sticks used by Australopithecus afarensis to more advanced tools created by later hominin species. Homo habilus was the first to create their own tools for hunting and butchering. Homo erectus created more intricate tools and was the first to control fire. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis created pointed spear tips and controlled fire. Homo sapiens cro-magnon invented bows and arrows and tools for hunting large game. Modern humans can create complex tools like guns.
Tools of hominids
The document summarizes the evolution of tools used by different hominid species over millions of years. It describes how early hominids like Australopithecus afarensis used basic stone tools, while later species such as Homo habilis were able to craft sharper stone tools for hunting. Homo erectus developed improved tool making skills and used tools like stone axes. Neanderthals created bone needles and tools for sewing animal skins. Homo sapiens Cro-Magnon were skilled toolmakers who used advanced weapons and tools for sailing. Modern humans are extremely sophisticated toolmakers who utilize various forms of advanced transportation and construction materials in tools and buildings.
Tools of early humans
Early humans began appearing 1.2-4 million years ago and had to create tools to make survival easier. Australopithecus, the earliest known hominoid, lived 4-2 million years ago and used tools scavenged or found to hunt and gather food. Homo habilis, discovered in the 1960s, were the first to create tools and hunt but could not control fire. Homo erectus from 1.8 million years ago were stronger and smarter, able to control fire and make complex tools to hunt African and Asian game. Neanderthals from 400,000 years ago were strong and smart but died off, possibly from disease. Cro-Magnons from 40,000 years ago could
Hominid tools
The document summarizes the evolution of hominids and their tool-making abilities over time. It describes 6 stages of hominid evolution from Australopithecus, which did not make tools, to Homo Habilis, the first to create tools by hitting stones together, to Homo Sapiens Sapiens, which developed advanced tools including iron, steel, guns. With each successive stage, brain size and tool-making capabilities became more advanced, allowing hominids to hunt more effectively and have technological advantages over others.

Austropithecus Afarensis did not make tools but used sharp rocks found in the environment. Homo habilis created stone tools that helped with hunting and protection from predators. Homo erectus was associated with tool industries using Oldowan and Acheulean stone tools. Neanderthals learned to combine different stone materials and use a variety of stones for specialized tasks. Cro-Magnons used bone, antlers, teeth and ivory in addition to stone to adapt quickly to their environments. Modern humans, Homo sapiens s
Roscoe food and clothing of early man
The document summarizes the food sources and clothing of early hominids including Australopithecus afarensis, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, and modern humans. It describes their diets as consisting mostly of fruits, nuts, roots, and scavenged or hunted meat. Their clothing ranged from no clothing in early hominids to animal skins and sewn garments in later species. Modern humans have the greatest diversity of foods and clothing types.
Early human food and clothing
1) Early hominids like Australopithecus afarensis were more ape-like and did not wear clothing as they were very hairy. They were scavengers and foragers who ate fruits and vegetables.
2) Homo habilis were more advanced but still did not hunt or wear clothing. They were scavengers who used simple tools to gather food like ants.
3) Homo erectus were the first to hunt, control fire, and use stone tools and axes, allowing them to cook meat and improve their diet.
Early humans
Early humans such as Australopithecus used very rudimentary tools like twigs to catch bugs, while Homo habilis used stone tools to chop, scrape, and cut materials. Homo erectus created more complex hand axes and spears that allowed for hunting. Homo sapiens invented knives, spears, harpoons and used tools to build shelters and for hunting and food preparation. Later Homo sapiens developed more advanced tools like axes, bows and arrows, fish hooks, and needles and were the first to farm, ensuring a steady food supply. Modern humans now have highly developed tools like guns and survived the last ice age to populate the earth.
Early humans
Early humans like Homo habilis and Homo erectus began emerging around 3 million years ago in Africa. They were tool-users and hunters/gatherers. Later groups like Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon man were more advanced, controlling fire, using clothing and shelters, and creating artworks like cave paintings. The ability to control fire allowed early humans to expand across the world, following animal herds during ice age periods when sea levels were lower and land bridges appeared.
Unit of Inquiry 4: Where We Are in Place and Time: Early Humans
Hominids first appeared around 3 million years ago in Africa. Early humans like Australopithecus were smaller than modern humans and used tools. Later groups like Homo habilis and Homo erectus were taller and smarter, and Homo erectus was the first to control fire. Neanderthals were also a species of early human. Cro-Magnon man was an advanced early human that lived in Europe around 30,000 years ago and made cave paintings, though the purpose of these paintings remains a mystery.
Alices early humans tools
Early humans evolved from using simple found tools to creating complex tools like bows and arrows. Homo habilis created the first stone tools called Oldowan tools by banging stones together. Later species like Homo erectus developed more advanced tool making techniques and created hand axes and knives. Homo sapiens invented fishing tools, needles, bows and arrows, and used bone, wood and antlers to create a wide range of tools for hunting and daily life. Modern humans Homo sapiens sapiens now use advanced tools for farming, technology, and other applications.
How Do They Make and Use Tools?
1) Various approaches are used to interpret evidence from artifacts in order to understand how they were made and used, including archaeological analysis, scientific analysis, ethnographic analogy, and experimental archaeology.
2) Stone tools were made through processes like knapping and were used as tools for hunting, butchery, and other tasks. Organic materials like bone, antler, wood, and plant fibers were also used to make tools and structures, and their forms and functions have been studied through replication experiments.
3) The evolution of stone tool technologies progressed from simple Oldowan tools in the Lower Paleolithic to more advanced blade-making in the Upper Paleolithic, showing increasing complexity over time.
Early humans
Hominids first appeared around 3 million years ago in Africa. Early humans like Lucy had evolved to walk upright but did not make tools. Later hominids known as Handy Man were the first to use stone tools. Upright Man was able to control fire, allowing them to cook food and expand where they lived. Cro-Magnon man was an advanced early human that lived in Europe, worked together in tribes, stored food, and made clothing and art, painting in deep caves though the purpose remains a mystery.
Early humans
Early humans lived off the land, eating fruits and fish and raw meat since they were unaware of fire. They stood upright, unlike apes, and lived in groups in trees or caves for protection from wild animals. Their clothes were made from leaves, animal hides, and grass to protect from heat and cold. They used stone tools like hammer stones and flakes, as well as wooden and bone tools, to hunt large animals and access new foods. A key development was the discovery of fire through rubbing stones together, which allowed cooking of food and keeping warm. The invention of the wheel, initially using tree trunks as wheels, revolutionized transportation by allowing pulling of carts and connecting isolated groups.
Early human and great migration
Prehistory is the time before written records, from around 3 million years ago to the development of writing systems. During this period, early humans and hominids first appeared and stood upright on two feet, distinguishing them from apes. These early humans lived in clans and survived by hunting and gathering food, moving areas once supplies ran out. The evolution of hominids led to species like Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and eventually modern Homo sapiens, who began migrating out of Africa around 100,000 years ago. The Lascaux Caves in France contain Paleolithic cave paintings from around 17,000 to 30,000 years ago, depicting animals these

This document summarizes the evolution of tool use among early hominid species from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens. It describes how tools progressed from found natural objects to crafted stone and wood tools for hunting and cooking by Homo habilis. Later species like Homo erectus hunted in groups and controlled fire, while Neanderthals advanced toolmaking. Cro-magnons created art and stored food. Modern humans developed agriculture and modern technology using electricity. Tools evolved significantly alongside brain size and behavioral changes in hominids over time.
Early tools
Mark McGovern presents on the evolution of early human tools. Several early human species are discussed, including Australopithecus afarensis from 4-1.2 million years ago which used basic tools like rocks and sticks, Homo habilis from 2-1.5 million years ago which sharpened rocks and began hunting with tools, and Homo erectus from 1.6-80,000 years ago which controlled fire and made basic axes and sharp rocks. Later species like Homo sapiens Neanderthalis from 133,000-32,000 years ago and Homo sapiens Cro-Magnon from 100,000-10,000 years ago developed more advanced tools from materials like stone

Hominid
Hominids have evolved over time from early groups like Australopithecines to later groups such as Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthalensis, and early modern Homo Sapiens. Australopithecines lived many years ago and walked on all fours, while Homo Erectus could walk upright but did not know how to control fire. Homo Neanderthalensis was able to walk upright and use tools to hunt animals, and also controlled the use of fire. Many fossils of early modern Homo Sapiens have been found, showing they lived on Earth many years ago. Hominids evolved to have bigger brains and more advanced skills over long periods of time.

Humans evolved from early hominids over millions of years in four main stages: Australopithecines, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo sapiens. Early hominids learned to walk upright, use tools, control fire, hunt animals, and eventually farm, which allowed their cultures and intelligence to gradually develop over time as their bodies and brains evolved. Later hominid species grew stronger, developed smaller teeth, wore clothing, built shelters, and lived in family groups near water sources like rivers.

Homo sapiens presentation 6F
Homo sapiens originated in Africa and then spread throughout the world approximately 100,000 years ago. There are two theories for how this occurred - either Homo sapiens developed in Africa and migrated worldwide, or ancestors developed separately into Homo sapiens in different locations. Homo sapiens were able to inhabit all environments due to their omnivorous diet, bipedalism, and ability to use complex tools.

Farming inquiry
Farming originated around 8000 BCE in the Fertile Crescent region. The first crops farmed were cereal grains like wheat and barley, as well as pulses and the bottle gourd vegetable. Sheep and goats were among the earliest domesticated animals, as they meet the criteria of being able to be bred and kept in captivity without being aggressive or panicking.
Farming
Farming is believed to have originated around 10,000 years ago in East Africa and the Middle East by First Nations peoples at the end of the Ice Age, according to scientists. The first crops grown were likely wheat and barley, as their seeds are commonly found from that era. Dogs were possibly the first domesticated animals, kept as pets starting 13,000-30,000 years ago, while sheep, goats, cattle and pigs were domesticated for food around 9000-7000 BC.
History of farming
Farming originated around 10,000 BC in an area known as the Fertile Crescent. People in this region began deliberately planting seeds from local grasses and grains that they gathered, such as barley and wheat, aided by favorable climate conditions. One of the earliest farming settlements was Catalhoyuk in present-day Turkey. Farming then spread to other parts of the world and involved domesticating animals like goats, sheep and pigs to provide food, fiber and labor. Over time, humans cultivated a wider variety of crops and domesticated additional animals, advancing early agriculture.
Inquiry questions
The first farming occurred around 10,000 years ago in areas like China, the fertile crescents of India, Egypt, and Western Asia. The earliest crops grown were wheat, barley, and peas, though the specific crops depended on location. Squash was also grown around this time. The first domesticated animals were dogs, which were used for hunting and protection of human tribes. Dogs evolved from wolves and today there are over 200 purebred dog species.
