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

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.
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,
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.
Ellie early humans tools
This document summarizes the evolution of tool use among early human species from Australopithecus afarensis to modern Homo sapiens sapiens. It describes how tools started as sharp rocks and have advanced to modern tools. Early humans like A. afarensis did not make tools but used found rocks and sticks. Homo habilis were the first to make sharp rock tools and discover fire. Homo erectus could create fire and used stone axes and knives. Neanderthals created more complex tools from different materials. Homo sapiens used bows and arrows and created boats and art. Modern humans continue advancing tools with materials like metal and plastic.
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 Projects
The document summarizes aspects of early human life based on archaeological evidence. It discusses Lucy's skull being the first full early human body found. It notes that early humans had longer faces than modern humans and used flint tools. Early humans had to hunt for food to survive and find warm shelter during ice ages. They wore warm clothes in cold weather. Early humans also had religions and buried their dead. Compared to apes, early humans had shorter chins and larger brains.
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.
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.
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
Hominids first appeared around 3 million years ago after dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Early humans like Lucy from 3 million years ago were only 4 feet tall and 50 pounds. Later human species were taller and smarter, and were among the first to use stone tools and control fire, allowing them to cook food and survive harsh climates. Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon man were also early human species that inhabited Europe and used more advanced tools and techniques like fishing, clothing, and cave paintings.

Early humans like Homo habilis and Homo erectus lived in Africa around 2 million years ago and were the first to use stone tools. Homo erectus spread from Africa to Europe and Asia around 1 million years ago by crossing land bridges during ice ages. Later groups like Homo sapiens and Neanderthals were skilled hunters who controlled fire, made clothing and shelters, and buried their dead with ceremony. Neanderthals lived in Europe and West Asia from around 500,000 to 30,000 years ago before going extinct.
Early Humans
Archaeologists study past cultures by analyzing human remains, settlements, fossils, and artifacts found across Africa and other parts of the world. Early humans are thought to have originated in Africa, as the oldest known artifacts, fossils, and human remains have been discovered there, dated to over 4 million years ago using carbon-14 dating. Various early human species like Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Cro-Magnon inhabited Africa and spread to other continents, developing new tools and behaviors over time, such as controlling fire and creating art.

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.
For me the best invention is fire
Fire has been known to humans for nearly 500,000 years and was one of the earliest inventions, allowing early humans to cook food. Fire results from a chemical reaction that occurs when molecules meet and exchange electrons, transforming both molecules and releasing heat or light. Some of the earliest fires were stars in the sky.
Ch.1/L1 - Early Humans
This document describes early humans and their transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled farmers during the Neolithic Age. It explains that early humans hunted and gathered food but began farming around 12,000 years ago, allowing them to establish permanent villages. As farming developed, humans domesticated animals and crops, learned new technologies like weaving and pottery, and participated in trade between communities, marking a significant change from their previous hunter-gatherer lifestyle.

Early humans originated in Africa around 2 million years ago. Fossil evidence shows that the earliest humans were Australopithecus who lived around 4 million years ago. Later hominids such as Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus developed increased brain size and the ability to walk upright. During the Ice Age starting 2.6 million years ago, early humans migrated from Africa across land bridges as glaciers advanced and retreated. Modern humans, Homo Sapiens, emerged around 200,000 years ago and Homo Sapiens Sapiens developed around 50,000 years ago. The development of language, tools, fire, and other cultural adaptations enabled humans to spread across the globe. Around 12,

The document summarizes the differences between the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages. During the Paleolithic Age, early humans hunted and gathered their food and lived nomadic lifestyles in temporary shelters like caves. In the Neolithic Age, humans transitioned to farming and domesticating animals, living in permanent settlements of timber or mud brick homes near their crops. Their clothing transitioned from primarily animal furs during Paleolithic times to continuing to use furs but also early wool fabrics during the Neolithic Age.
Prehistory
The document discusses the prehistoric period from 2 million years ago until the invention of writing around 3,000 years ago. It is divided into three periods: the Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Metal Ages. During the Paleolithic, humans were nomadic hunter-gatherers who lived in caves or tents. In the Neolithic, humans began farming, domesticating animals, and living in permanent villages near rivers. The Metal Ages saw the discovery and use of metals like copper, bronze, and iron, as well as inventions like the wheel and construction of megalithic monuments.

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.

Hominids first appeared around 3 million years ago after dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Early hominids like Lucy from 3 million years ago stood upright and had hands adapted for tool use, distinguishing them from apes. Various early human species evolved over millions of years, with later groups like Homo erectus controlling fire and migrating out of Africa, Neanderthals inhabiting caves, and Cro-Magnon creating cave paintings around 20,000 years ago to depict hunting and hands. Scientists have learned about early humans through analyzing fossils and artifacts uncovered from this time period.
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.
Fossils In Africa
Fossils found in Africa provide important evidence about human evolution over the past 3 million years. Key fossils like Lucy discovered in the 1970s and an even older skull called Tumai found in 2002 show that the earliest human-like creatures originated in Africa. Fossils reveal that hominids evolved from apelike ancestors in Africa and eventually developed the ability to walk upright, control fire, develop more advanced stone tools and spread throughout the world by around 1 million years ago during the Ice Age. Tracing the evolution of hominids like Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis through their African fossils helps scientists understand how modern humans emerged.
Early humans ppt
Hominids first appeared around 3 million years ago in Africa. Early humans like Lucy were small hominids that walked upright unlike apes. Later groups like Homo habilis could make stone tools. Homo erectus controlled fire which allowed them to cook food and expand their range out of Africa. Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon man were skilled hunters and tool makers that populated Europe and beyond. Cro-Magnon man are notable for their cave paintings found in places like Lascaux, France, though the purpose of these paintings remains a mystery.

The document discusses early human development based on fossil evidence. It summarizes that earliest humans originated in Africa and spread across the globe. Studying human remains and artifacts helps understand our place in human history. Key terms discussed include hominid, Paleolithic Age, and Neolithic Age. Several important early humans are also mentioned, such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens.
Fossils In Africa
Fossils found in Africa provide important evidence about human evolution. Fossils show that the earliest human-like creatures lived in Africa 3 million years ago, including "Lucy" who was an early hominid. Even older fossils have been found, such as "Tumai" dated to over 3 million years old. Fossils help scientists learn about the development of hominids into upright, tool-making, fire-using humans over millions of years, eventually resulting in modern Homo sapiens.
Early Humans
Hominids first appeared around 3 million years ago after dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Early humans like Lucy from 3 million years ago were only 4 feet tall and 50 pounds. Later human species like Homo erectus and Neanderthals were taller and smarter, controlled fire, and made stone tools. Cro-Magnon humans that lived in Europe were more advanced, storing food and making clothing, and are known for their cave paintings depicting animals and hands.

Early humans evolved in Africa over 5 million years ago from forest-dwelling primates. The earliest known hominid is Ardipithecus, which lived 4-5 million years ago. Later hominids included Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens. Homo erectus was the first to leave Africa, migrating to Europe and Asia around 1.8 million years ago. Modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens, evolved in Africa around 200,000 years ago and migrated worldwide by 10,000 BCE, replacing Neanderthals.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.

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.
Evolution of tools
This document traces the evolution of tool use among early humans from Australopithecus afarensis to Cro-Magnon humans. Australopithecus afarensis did not make tools but used found objects like sticks. Homo habilis were the first to create simple tools for hunting and gathering. Homo erectus controlled fire and made stone knives and axes. Neanderthals were strong and used fire to smoke food. Cro-Magnons were intelligent hunters who preserved food with salt and smoke and created advanced tools like bows, arrows, needles and fishing rods. The evolution of tools had significant effects on human activities like eating, cooking, food storage and migration patterns.

The document summarizes the evolution of tools used by different hominid species over millions of years, from early hominids like Australopithecus afarensis that used simple found tools, to Homo habilis who began crafting stone tools, to later species like Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens who developed more advanced hunting tools like spears and bows and arrows. It traces how tools became more sophisticated as hominids grew smarter and needed to adapt skills like hunting larger prey. The evolution of tools paralleled the evolution of human intelligence and abilities.
Humanities neanderthal presentaion
The earliest Neanderthals lived in Europe around 200,000 years ago but went extinct around 30,000 years ago as modern humans with more advanced brains and tools migrated out of Africa around 100,000 years ago. Neanderthals were muscular with large bones and brains, migrated as far as Siberia, hunted large game like bison and reindeer, and made tools from stone and bone. They began disappearing as the forests they relied on shrank and modern humans' superior abilities outcompeted them.

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.
