The Mousterian industry refers to a style of predominantly flint toolmaking associated with Neanderthals between 300,000 and 30,000 years ago in Europe and West Asia. It combines techniques from the Acheulian and Levalloisian industries, involving premade cores and flake tools with sharpened edges that were more efficient to use. Evidence of this industry has also been found in Northern Africa and West Asia dating back 100,000 years, suggesting possible acculturation between Neanderthals and modern humans migrating out of Africa.

Module 3 anthropology and the study of culture
This document provides an overview of anthropology and culture. It defines anthropology as the holistic study of humans, both biologically and socially, from early evolution to current variations around the world. Culture is defined as the beliefs, behaviors, and objects that are learned and shared within a society. Material culture includes tangible objects while non-material culture consists of intangible aspects like values and knowledge. Culture is shared between generations and influences how individuals learn and act. Anthropological perspectives seek to understand how culture has adapted to environments over time and continues to change dynamically in response to changing human needs.
The four fields of anthropology
Anthropology is the study of what it means to be human. It takes a holistic approach across four fields: archaeology studies how humans shape their material environments; physical anthropology examines human biological diversity and evolution; linguistic anthropology analyzes human language and communication; and cultural anthropology describes human cultures and learned knowledge systems. Together, these four fields seek to understand all aspects of human existence and behavior.
Human evolution and culture
This document provides an overview of human evolution and the development of culture. It discusses the key biological capacities that enabled humans to develop culture, including large brains, advanced vocal and gripping abilities, and bipedalism. These allowed for tool-making, language, and other cultural behaviors. Several important tool-making industries are described, from the Oldowan and Acheulean created by Homo habilis and Homo erectus, to the Mousterian, Aurignacian, and Magdalenian associated with Neanderthals and modern humans. The development of more advanced tool-making coincided with other cultural developments like art, shelter-building, and specialized hunting weapons. The document contrasts Pale

This document provides an overview of cultural relativism, ethnocentrism, and xenocentrism. It discusses how cultural relativism is important for cultural understanding and avoiding ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism is the view that one's own culture is superior, while cultural relativism recognizes that different cultures should be understood on their own terms rather than judged. The document also briefly discusses xenocentrism, which is the opposite view that other cultures are superior to one's own.
Human biological and cultural evolution
Human Biological and Cultural Evolution discusses key aspects of human evolution, including our biological capacity for culture. It examines our taxonomy, comparing human and chimp anatomy and brains. Key human adaptations like bipedalism, tool-making abilities, and increased brain size allowed for the development of culture over generations, from Australopithecus to Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and modern Homo sapiens. Understanding our evolutionary history provides context for how and why human culture emerged.
Danny Maribao_Significance of studying culture, society and politics
This document discusses key concepts in understanding culture, society, and politics. It defines culture as consisting of various interrelated elements including natural knowledge, technological knowledge, supernatural knowledge, norms, folkways, mores, laws, values, beliefs, and material culture/technology. It also discusses the concepts of ethnocentrism, which is evaluating other cultures based on one's own, and xenocentrism, which is the belief that foreign cultures are superior. The document provides examples and explanations of these different elements of culture to help the reader develop an understanding of how cultures function.

The document discusses the evolution of early hominids from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens. It outlines that early hominid species like Australopithecus were capable of bipedalism and lived 3.6 million years ago. Later species like Homo habilis and Homo erectus began using stone tools and were more intelligent than earlier hominids. Homo erectus was the first to migrate out of Africa to Asia 1.8 million years ago. Finally, Homo sapiens evolved around 200,000 years ago and were classified as modern humans.
Oldowan acheulean
- The document discusses early stone tool technologies, beginning with Oldowan tools dated to 3.4 million years ago which were made and used by Australopithecus afarensis.
- Acheulean tools emerged around 1.8 million years ago and were more sophisticated, consisting of bifacial hand axes, cleavers, and picks. These tools spread widely and suggested more advanced cognition among humans.
- Acheulean handaxes are believed to have taken on social significance beyond just functionality, with elaborate examples perhaps serving to display skills or used in mate selection by early humans.

Module 2 lesson 3:CULTURAL, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL INSTITUTION
Economic institutions are the formal and informal rules that organize economic activity in a society. They work to answer questions about what goods and services should be produced, how they should be produced, and for whom. Other key aspects of economics addressed by institutions include reciprocity through gift exchange, redistribution through taxation and welfare, and different types of market transactions like purchases, loans, mortgages, and bank accounts. Economic institutions help define the relationship between market forces and the role of the state.

Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present. It examines human cultures, societies, languages, and how humans have evolved over time. There are four main branches of anthropology: cultural anthropology studies existing cultures; archaeology studies past cultures through artifacts; biological anthropology studies human evolution and genetics; and social anthropology examines how humans behave in social groups. Anthropology takes a holistic perspective by considering biological, social, linguistic, and cultural factors that influence human behavior and development.
Biocultural Evolution
The document discusses biocultural evolution and early hominids. It describes Darwin's theory of natural selection and how early hominid species like Australopithecus were capable of bipedalism. It then outlines some of the main hominid species, including Homo habilis which used tools for scavenging, Homo erectus which existed around 1.8 million years ago and moved from Africa to Asia, and Homo sapiens which evolved from Homo erectus around 500,000-200,000 years ago.
Anthro30 7 characteristics of culture
This presentation shows the general characteristics of culture. These are shared, learned, based on symbols, integrated, and dynamic.
Homo sapiens sapiens
Humans, scientifically known as Homo Sapiens, emerged around 12,000 years ago in Africa and are the only surviving species of the Homo genus. As hunter-gatherers, early humans lacked modern behaviors like abstract thinking until around 50,000 years ago when signs of prehistoric art began to emerge. Modern humans are highly intelligent social animals capable of complex language, logic, science, and technology that sets them apart from other species.
Regimes, Power & Legitimacy (UCSP)
This document discusses political regimes, power, and legitimacy. It defines a regime as the rules a state sets and follows in exerting power. There are different types of regimes including democracies, which base authority on the will of the people, and authoritarianism, where decisions are made by political elites without citizen input. Legitimacy can come from tradition, charismatic leaders, or rational-legal systems based on established laws. Political culture and ideologies also influence a regime's power structure and claims to legitimacy.
Biological UCSP
This document summarizes the biological and cultural evolution of early humans from Australopithecus to Homo Sapiens. It describes the key differences between biological and cultural evolution, then outlines four main categories of hominids - Sahelanthropus, Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and Homo. Key details are provided on characteristics of Australopithecus species like Afarensis. Homo Habilis and Erectus are introduced as having larger brains and more advanced traits than Australopithecus.
Lesson 2 HUMAN EVOLUTION AND CULTURE.pptx
Human evolution and culture were enabled by developments in human anatomy including brain size, vocal tract structure, dexterous hands, and bipedal locomotion. Over time, these biological capacities facilitated increasingly complex stone tool industries that began with Oldowan tools 2.6 million years ago used by Homo habilis. The Acheulean industry begun by Homo erectus 1.5 million years ago featured hand axes. Neanderthals developed the Mousterian industry 300,000 years ago combining Acheulean and Levallois techniques. Later industries like Aurignacian 45,000 years ago showed early symbolic expression through art and materials.

biological and cultural evolution
This document summarizes the biological and cultural evolution of early humans from Australopithecus to Homo Sapiens. It describes biological evolution as genetic changes from generation to generation that are studied through physical remains. Cultural evolution refers to developments in human culture studied through analyzing lifestyle changes. Key hominid categories discussed are Australopithecus, Homo Habilis, Homo Erectus, and Homo Sapiens. Traits like upright walking, increasing brain size, tool use, and shelter building are noted as major developments.
The culture of early hominids
Hominids first emerged in East Africa around 4 million years ago, classified in the genus Australopithecus. Later hominids like Homo habilis and Homo erectus had larger brains and were the first to use tools. Homo sapiens evolved around 200,000 years ago in Africa and had fully modern human traits, later migrating to Europe and Asia. Theories on modern human origins include a single origin near the East or multiregional evolution in various places.
Economic institutions
This document defines and discusses several key economic concepts:
- Institutions are the formal and informal rules that govern economic interactions and structure social relationships.
- Reciprocity refers to an expected return after exchanging a gift or product between two parties.
- Transfer payments are monetary payments from one party to another without goods or services exchanged in return, such as government welfare programs.
- Redistribution is when a government takes income from wealthy citizens and businesses and distributes it to less wealthy citizens.
- Market transactions involve voluntary exchanges between buyers and sellers, such as purchases using money, loans that are provided with interest and must be repaid, and mortgages that enable home purchases.
The Emergence Of Homo Sapiens
The document summarizes the emergence and evolution of early human species from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens. It describes key findings such as the transition from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens around 500,000 years ago. Neanderthals appeared in Europe and western Asia around 300,000 years ago. Modern humans emerged in Africa around 160,000 years ago and spread throughout the Old World, eventually replacing Neanderthals. Upper Paleolithic cultures from 40,000 years ago produced new toolmaking techniques like blade production and pressure flaking.

Ancient humans developed skills and technologies through science to help them survive, even during primitive times. Archeological excavation has uncovered evidence that settlements like Mohenjo-daro used tools and implements as early as 5000-3000 BC, during the Stone Age. Key periods in prehistoric tool development included the Oldowan, Acheulean, Mousterian, Aurignacian and microlithic traditions, before the emergence of copper, bronze and iron working eras between 5000 BC and 600 BC that marked major technological advances.
THE BEGINNINGS OF CIVILIZATION.pdf
The document summarizes the Stone Age, beginning with the Paleolithic Era from 2.6 million to around 12,000 years ago. During this time, hominins lived in small nomadic bands and subsisted through hunting and gathering, using basic stone and bone tools. Artistic expression first emerged in the Paleolithic as well. Toolmaking became more advanced over time, with Oldowan tools giving way to more sophisticated Acheulean hand axes and prepared core techniques in the Middle Paleolithic. The Upper Paleolithic saw modern humans innovating with blade tools, cave art, and the domestication of dogs. Language, art, tools, fire, and other technological and cultural developments helped Paleolithic people
Prehistoric Arts
Prehistoric art spans from 2 million years ago to around 1500 BCE and is divided into three periods: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. During the Paleolithic period, nomadic hunter-gatherers lived in caves and created stone tools and rock carvings. The Mesolithic saw the gradual domestication of plants and animals and the formation of settled communities. In the Neolithic, people lived in villages, cultivated crops, and developed pottery, weaving, and early civilizations. Significant artworks from these periods include cave paintings from Lascaux and Altamira, engraved lamps and figurines, and megalithic structures like Stonehenge and New Grange.

It then discusses the Oldowan, Acheulean, Mousterian, Aurignacian, microlithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age tool technologies and how tools evolved over time from basic stone tools to the use of copper, bronze and eventually iron.
Neanderthal
Neanderthals were a species of archaic humans that inhabited Europe and parts of Asia between 600,000-40,000 years ago. They had shorter limbs than Homo sapiens but a more robust build adapted for cold climates. Dating methods like thermoluminescence, radiocarbon, and mass spectrometry on Neanderthal remains from sites like Saint-Césaire, Tabun, and Qafzeh indicate Neanderthals coexisted with early modern humans between 34,000-33,800 years ago, suggesting interaction was possible. While DNA and fossil evidence show Neanderthals were a separate species, it remains unclear if they directly interacted with or were replaced by H

Prehistoric art in Europe dates back over 10,000 years to the Paleolithic era. During this time, early humans created small carved figurines and paintings of animals on cave walls. As cultures developed and settled into places like Catalhoyuk in Turkey and Sesklo in Greece by 7400 BCE, construction methods improved and included woven wood and mud walls. Major architectural sites began to emerge such as Stonehenge between 2900 BCE and 1500 BCE, which also coincided with the rise of metalworking in the Bronze Age when rock art flourished in Scandinavia.
Introduction to
This document provides an overview of key concepts in visual arts education. It defines art as the expression of beauty or significance. Art history is explained as the academic study of art objects and their historical contexts. Prehistoric art emerged as early humans represented their world and beliefs through visual images. The Paleolithic period is divided into three categories based on stone tool technology. The Mesolithic and Neolithic periods marked transitions between hunting-gathering and settled agricultural societies in prehistory. Key components of every work of art are identified as the medium, style, and iconography. Common media and styles are briefly described.

The document summarizes key facts about Neanderthals. Neanderthals emerged around 200,000 years ago and lived across Europe and parts of Asia until going extinct around 24,000 years ago. They were well-adapted for cold environments and hunted large game. Evidence indicates Neanderthals used complex stone tools, buried their dead, and had the capability for spoken language. While the exact cause is unknown, their extinction may have been due to competition from modern humans migrating out of Africa.
Paleolithic civilization
The document summarizes key aspects of Paleolithic civilization from 2 million BCE to around 10,000 BCE. During this era, humans lived in small hunter-gatherer societies and used only stone tools. The Paleolithic is divided into three periods: Lower (tool use began), Middle (tool making improved), and Upper (artistic and cultural developments emerged). Paleolithic humans migrated throughout Africa and Eurasia and adapted to fluctuating climates. They hunted animals and gathered plants for food, and had religious beliefs involving spirituality and burial rituals.
Bat Cave
The Bats Cave is located 4km from Zuheros, Spain on top of Cerro de los Murciélagos. It contains artifacts from the Neolithic period around 6,000 years ago when inhabitants lived near the entrance. They made tools, pottery, and personal items and left behind skeletal remains. The cave also contains Paleolithic paintings around 18,000 years old left by earlier inhabitants. It has been an important archaeological site revealing details about climate change and human habitation in the region over thousands of years.
Neolithic Time Essay
Early humans during the Stone Age lived as hunter-gatherers, hunting wild animals and gathering plants for food, they created simple tools and weapons made of stone to aid in their survival, and they lived nomadic lifestyles, constantly on the move in search of resources as they lacked agriculture.
From the beginning of time - a story of human evolution
The document summarizes the evolution of early humans from 5.6 million years ago to present day. It discusses the earliest human-like creatures known as Australopithecus that emerged around 5.6 million years ago in Africa. Over many generations, these early humans evolved into homo sapiens, learning to make tools, use language and art, and live in family and social groups. The document provides a timeline of key developments in early human evolution and migration across Africa and Europe.
49. stone age
The document summarizes the Stone Age period of human history. It was called the Stone Age because it was the period when early humans first started using stone tools, which helped them hunt and build shelter. Archaeologists divide the Stone Age into three periods based on tool sophistication: the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic Age (Middle Stone Age), and Neolithic Age (New Stone Age). During the Neolithic Age, humans transitioned to farming and domesticated animals like cows and sheep.
Early sattlement presantation
The document provides information about early human settlements and technology during the Stone Age period. It discusses the major periods of the Stone Age - Early Stone Age, Middle Stone Age, and Later Stone Age. During these periods, humans used stone tools for tasks like hunting and butchering animals. They lived in temporary shelters and caves, and created cave paintings. By the Neolithic period, humans began farming and domesticating animals. The Stone Age marked major developments in human technology and settlement patterns over millions of years.

The mousterian industry
- 2. Mousterian is a name given by archaeologists to a style of predominantly flint tools associated primarily with Neanderthals. Neanderthals developed this industry in Europe and West Asia between 300 000 and 30 000 years ago. They date to the Middle Paleolithic, the middle part of the European Old Stone Age. This industry was named after a site in France called Le Mousteir, a rock shelter in the Dordogne, France.
- 6. The evidence was uncovered in 1860. The tools from this industry combined Acheulian industry techniques with the Levalloisian technique, which involved the use of a premade core tool and the extraction of a flake tool that has sharpened edges. This type of tools is very efficient as all the sides of the flake tool are sharpened and due to the reduction in size, more handy.
- 10. Evidence of this industry dating back 100000 years was also found in Northern Africa and West Asia, where modern human such as that of Qafze migrated. Most archaeologists hypothesize that this industry could be an evidence of acculturation of modern humans with their Neanderthal relatives.
- 12. By the end of the Palaeolithic period, early humans have been engaged in proto-culture type of industries wherein they did not just create tools but also started creating art and other symbolic materials.
