Human settlement
10. Countries and Islands by first human
settlement
Though fossils
of hominids have been found
dating back millions of years,
the earliest known Homo
sapiens remains are
considered to be a group of
bones found near
the Ethiopian Kibish
Mountains. Though believed
to be 130,000 years old at
their discovery in 1967, recent
studies have dated them as
far back as 195,000 years old
11. From this area, humans spread out to cover all
continents except Antarctica . From the Middle
East, migration continued into India around
70,000 years ago, and Southeast Asia shortly after.
Settlers could have crossed over
to Australia and New Guinea . Migration
into Europe took somewhat longer to occur; the
first definite evidence of human settlement on
this continent has been discovered in
southern Italy, and dates back 43-45,000 years.
More remote parts of the world,
like Iceland and Madagascar were not populated
until the historic era.
12. When the UN was founded in1945, two thirds
of the world’s people lived in rural settings. By
2000, the population balance had shifted, with
half of humanity now living in cities.
Moreover, it is expected that by 2050, two
thirds of world’s people some 6 billion of
them will be living in cities. The United
Nations Human Settlements Program UN-
HABITAT was established in 1978 to improve
that situation.
Concerns
13. 1. People benefit from living in
settlements.
2. Settlements occur where locations
provide opportunities and therefore
advantages.
3. There are different types of urban land
uses.
Functions of human
settlement

Those children are usually called bilingual.
Definition

childhood and still understood by the
individual at the time of the census.
