• Let us know more about ancient cultures

• Somewhat limited – theories have formed to attempt to explain the past

• The Old Stone Age or the Paleolithic Era, was a period of time that lasted until about 12,000 to 70,000 years ago.

•Man survived by hunting animals and gathering roots,

berries, leaves, and seeds.

•Old Stone Age (Paleolithic Era) people eventually began to hunt in groups.

•These antlers may have been used as a disguise during the hunt.

•Cave Art showing men hunting in groups

•Man used stone, wood,

and bone tools to survive

during the Old Stone Age.

Many Stone Age people were Nomads, or people who had no settled home.

• The New Stone Age or The Neolithic Era lasted until about 6,000 to 12,000 years ago.

• During the Neolithic

Era, people began to

settle in one place.

• Man began to change his diet and eat grains and small animals.

• Agriculture is the raising of crops and animals.

• The development of agriculture began over a long period of time and in more than one place.

• People no longer needed to travel great distances to gather food.

• People learned how to domesticate plants and animals.

• To domesticate means to train something to be useful to people.

• Early people learned to care for plants such as wheat, barley, peas, and lentils.

• The first farmers also domesticated wild goats, cattle, and sheep.

• Man domesticated wild wheat.•Ancient charred wheat grains are

shown in the picture above.

• Thousands of years ago, an ear of corn did not make much of a meal. (top)

• It took thousands of years of careful breeding for ears of corn to reach their present size. (bottom)

• People still used stone, bone, and wooden tools, but some new tools were added by using copper and bronze.

•These early farming tools date back to around 8,000 years ago. The axe, bottom, was used for clearing; flint sickles,

left, were used for harvesting cereal crops; a flat rock and rounded stone, center, were used for grinding flour; and perforated clay slabs, upper right, were probably used to

ventilate bread ovens.

Section 1: Studying the Distant Past

• Archaeologists study prehistoric times by examining things that early peoples left behind.

• The study of fossils has helped archaeologists learn about the lives of the earliest humans.

• Archaeological studies suggest that the earliest humans

Section 2: Hunter-Gatherer Societies

• Hunter-gatherer societies moved from place to place, hunting small animals and gathering plants for food.

• The development of tools and the use of fire helped the people in hunter gatherer societies improve their lives.

• Modern humans developed the ability to use language, which helped them to survive.

Section 3: Populating the Earth• By about 12,500 years ago, modern

humans had spread to many regions of the world, including Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, North America, and South America.

• Modern humans adapted to Ice Age conditions by building shelters and making warm clothing.

• By forming larger groups, modern humans adapted in order to better hunt and defend themselves.

The Beginning of Civilization

Section 1: Early Agriculture

• Over a long time, hunter-gatherers domesticated plants and animals, and most groups became farmers.

• Although the Middle East was the first center of agriculture, farming appeared in several other parts of the world.

• Permanent farming settlements developed, and surplus food allowed some people to become crafts workers.
