Hominids first appeared around 3 million years ago after dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Early hominids like Lucy and Homo habilis differed from apes in their ability to walk upright and use stone tools. Later hominids controlled fire, made clothing, and developed language and complex tools during the Stone Age. Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon man were advanced early humans who lived in Europe, using tools, art, and fire for survival. Cave paintings left by Cro-Magnon provide clues about early human life and culture.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. 65 Million YearsAgo
Dinosaurs died out about 65
million years ago. The first human
like hominids did not appear until
around 3 million years ago.
No matter what you may have
seen in the movies, early man
did not live during the same
period in history as dinosaurs!
Not that early man had it easy, but he did not have to
fight dinosaurs!
3. 3 Million YearsAgo
3 million years ago, our planet was
teeming with life!
There were deer, giraffes, hyenas,
sheep, goats, horses, elephants,
camels, beavers, cave lions, ants,
termites, woolly mammoths,
saber-toothed tigers, giant sharks,
dogs with huge teeth, and all kinds
of birds and plants and fish.
4. Very Early Humans
It was during this time that the higher
primates, including apes and early man,
first appeared.
Their hands were different, too.
Ape hands were made for climbing
and clinging. Man’s hands were
jointed differently, which allowed
them to make and use tools.
There was a difference between apes
and man. Early human-like hominids
could stand upright for long periods.
Apes could not.
5. Very Early Humans
How do scientists know about an
early man who lived 3 million
years ago?
Lucy told them!
6. Lucy
In 1974, a skeleton was found in Africa. The bones were
those of a female, about 20 years old or so when she
died. Scientists named her Lucy. About 3 million years
ago, when Lucy was alive, she was about
4 feet tall and weighed about 50 pounds.
Scientists suspect that she fell into a lake
or river and drowned.
Scientists are like detectives.
They can tell a great deal from a
skeleton, whether it's one year old
or 3 million years old!
7. Fossils& Artifacts
Scientists use many clues to help them put pieces of the
past together. One thing they must know is the difference
between a fossil and an artifact.
Artifacts are remains of
things that were made, not
remains of living things.
Fossils are remains of living
things (plants, animals, people),
not things that were made.
8. Handy Man
The Stone Age refers to the materials
used to make man-made tools. In the
Stone Age, man made tools out of
stone. “Handy Man” was one of the first
hominids to use stone tools.
Hunters & Gatherers: The Old Stone
Age people were hunters/gatherers. We
know this because scientists have found
fossils and artifacts, which reveal traces of
their life. These people did not plant crops.
They gathered wild fruits, nuts, berries,
and vegetables.
9. Handy Man
These early human-like hominids
were taller and smarter than Lucy’s
people, but they did not know how
to make fire.
When they broke camp, they
probably tried to bring fire with
them by carrying lit branches to
use to start a new campfire.
If their branches went out, they
did without fire until they found
something burning.
10. Upright Man
Many years passed. Another group of man was born.
Scientists nicknamed this group “Upright Man.” Upright
Man did know how to make fire.
That changed everything!
People began to cook their food,
which helped to reduce disease.
People collected around the fire
each night, to share stories of the
day's hunt and activities, which
helped to develop a spirit of
community.
11. Upright Man
These Stone Age people were about the
same size as modern humans. Their
tool-making skills were considerably
improved. Their weapons included stone
axes and knives.
Because Upright Man could make fire,
he was free to move about in search
of food. He did not have to worry
about freezing. He made warm clothes
from animal skins. At night, he built a
campfire to cook his food and to stay
warm.
12. Man LeavesHome
About one million years ago, Upright Man
began to slowly leave Africa. These early
people began to populate the world.
Scientists have found artifacts of their
tools and weapons, which help us to
understand how they lived, where they
went, and how they got there.
They did not need a boat. The Ice Age
was here! They traveled across giant
walkways of frozen ice, over what later
would become vast rivers and seas.
13. Neanderthals
One day, scientists found a new skeleton. This skeleton
was from another group of early men. Scientists named
this man Neanderthal man, after the valley in which the
skeleton had been found.
Scientists announced that
these early men were dim-
witted brutes, who walked
with bent knees, with their
heads slung forward on
their big necks. Could
these early people really
be our ancestors?
14. Neanderthals
But scientists had made a mistake!
The bones were bent
because they were part
of the skeleton of an old
man suffering from
arthritis!
15. Neanderthals
Still, Neanderthals were different from
other species of early humans. They
were tall and smart, and used caves as
their homes. They were great hunters.
Considering how smart they were, and
how advanced for their time, scientists
are puzzled that the Neanderthals were
one of the early species of man to die
out. Many species of man died out in
these early days. But why the
Neanderthals? It is a history mystery.
16. Cro-Magnon Man
Another group of early men stood out during
this period. Scientists nicknamed this group
“Cro-Magnon man”.
Cro-Magnon man lived in Europe.
This group did not live a life of
constant struggle for survival because
they worked together to provide food
for their tribe.
17. Cro-Magnon Man
These Stone Age people learned to cure and store food
for the long winter. They used traps, which allowed them
to catch food while they were busy doing something else.
Fisherman used fishhooks and nets woven from vines.
Some groups built rafts and canoes
to catch bigger fish in deeper waters.
They made clothing and
jewelry. They invented the bow
and arrow.
18. CavePaintings
Cro-Magnon man did something rather unusual. For
some reason, he drew paintings deep inside dark caves,
on cave walls.
His paintings were added to the
paintings already on the cave walls,
left by other Cro-Magnon men.
Over time, a cave
might accumulate
hundreds of paintings.
Colors used most often
were brown, yellow/tan,
dark red, and coal black.
19. CavePaintings
Animals were well drawn and filled in with natural colors
to give them even more shape and substance. They drew
stick figures for hunters. They drew stencils of hands.
20. CavePaintings
To reach the deepest part of the cave, where other
paintings could be found, Cro-Magnon man had to crawl
through the maze like tunnels of the cave, holding a
spoon-like oil lamp to light his way, while carrying his
carefully prepared paints.
21. A Mystery
It was quite dangerous. Cro-Magnon man had no idea if he
might run into a cave lion. He might fall into a hole and die.
There are
many history
mysteries.
This is one of
them.
Why did he do it? Perhaps it was a coming of age
ceremony, or perhaps it served a religious purpose.
Maybe it was a sort of, “I was here.”
22. Lascaux France
The existence of cave paintings was discovered by
accident. Around 1940, during World War II, some kids
were playing in a field in Lascaux,
France. They stumbled across a
cave entrance. It had been hidden
by the tree roots. The walls were
covered with cave paintings!
Once people knew the paintings
existed, they looked for more
such caves, and found them.
23. Recap
We know about early Stone Age people because
scientists have found fossils and artifacts that reveal
traces of their life.
Man went through many stages
to evolve into the humans of
today! Since this evolution
covers roughly 3 million years,
you might say it took man a
long time to grow up!

Editor's Notes
Teacher Notes: To avoid being burned, and to avoid having the lamp go out, it had to balanced carefully to hold the burning oil inside the rounded part of the spoon-like oil lamp.
Teacher Notes: Caves with paintings in them have been found in many parts of the world. There are probably more caves to be discovered.
Answers:
Someone who gathers food growing wild, and hunts for food.
A time in history when tools were made from stone
Fire helped people survive. Fire was a source of heat, to stay warm in the Ice Age. Fire let them cook their food, which reduced the incident of disease. The ability to make fire allowed them to live and move about freely, in search of food and shelter, knowing they could relight a fire when needed.
It was the Ice Age. They walked.
Stick figures of people, well drawn animals, and stencil drawings of human hand prints
No one knows. It’s a history mystery. Archaeologists have put many pieces of the past together. But there are many pieces yet to be discovered.
