They were following animals for nomadic people who hunting and using migrated frequently, their knowledge of following animals to plants to survive. hunt with advanced Typically the men tools and possessing hunted and the extensive women and children knowledge of gathered berries plant life. and other wild plants.  Spears Hunter-gatherers lived in small were created (first bands of about 20-50 people, with wooden tips and then including children. These bands later stone tips) and were would often include several families used as specialized fishing living together. Men would hunt tools. Hunters were able to while women gathered berries, catch larger amounts of fruits, seeds, and nuts from wild prey in order to provide for plants in the area. their families and the bands with which they traveled. Wooden spears were carved like Animal bones Fire provided a javelin and had many uses protection from thrown while – weaponry, animals, offered hunting. sewing needles, warmth, and and other tools. cooked food. Cave paintings An awl is a tool A dolmen was were the created to where early earliest forms of pierce holes humans kept communication through leather ancestral and wood remains. The hominids were the very early humans that were able to walk on two feet. They were the first human ancestors that used stone tools. Scientists believe that over time, the hominids grew larger brains and developed more skills. Eventually, hominids transitioned into the humans that we are today. The different periods of development have different names for the hominids.  Homo Sapiens Homo Habilis Homo Erectus (2.5 Million to 1.5 (1.6 Million to 250,000 BC) (400,000 BC to the Million Present) OneBC) of the first “erectus” meaning the modern and human ancestors, upright stature, first intelligent able to use stone to move from Africa human of today tools  Archaeology is the study of An anthropologist ancient materials and other studies human societies physical remains of prehistoric and their development. humans.

That is how she “Turkana Boy”. got her name! The climate changed due to global As ice glaciers slowly began to melt warming and other environmental away, hominins decided to migrate causes during the time of the early to areas in which there were new humans. They observed and and plentiful resources, such as understood that as the climate animals to hunt, plants, and other changed, the resources available to environmental resources that could them changed as well. help create a new settlement.  The domestication of animals was a critical development for hominins. Around 8000 to 9000 BC, humans learned They also began to plant how to organize and tame wild seeds and raise crops. This animals for their benefit. They raised created a shift to learning animals to provide food and how to raise and maintain eventually be used for clothing. The food sources. hides of the animals could also be used as shelter. The bones could be used for weapons.
