Homes have changed significantly over time based on societal and technological developments. Early humans lived nomadically and built temporary shelters from available natural materials like animal skins, leaves, and branches. As humans began farming and settling into communities, more permanent structures emerged like huts made of mud, wood, and thatch. Housing continued evolving with advances in building materials, from stone and timber to bricks, concrete, and metals. Today's homes range from traditional structures still used by some tribes to modern apartments, houses, and other building types that reflect changes in lifestyles and construction capabilities. Housing plays an important role in protecting humans from the environment and is shaped by factors like climate, resources, and societal needs over history.

• The place we live in is your home, whether
it’s a house with four walls and a roof, a
flat that’s part of a larger building or a
caravan on wheels that can move around.

in full security and safety.
• The homes in our city, town or village may
look different from now – this could be
because they were built at a different
time, and from different materials.

variety of climates and become a
global species.

9. • Human shelters were at first very
simple and perhaps lasted only a
few days or months.

structures evolved into such highly
refined forms as the igloo, hut, or
the tent.

10. • Gradually more durable structures
began to appear, particularly after
humans started to agriculture.

13. • The history of building is marked by a
number of trends.

materials used.

- such as clay, stone, and timber.
