Archaeology: The study of past societies through the examination of artifacts.
Artifacts are anything that people modify or use. They can include:
Tools and Weapons Art and Sculpture Pottery
Jewelry Human Remains
Ancient Ruins

Time before writing.So, we have to rely on archeology to understand what happened.
History The study of the past by written artifacts.

The study of human life and culture
The remains of plants and animals.By studying fossils archaeologists and anthropologists can learn about what people ate, what animals they had around, and their way of life.
Carbon dating The paragon of dating, it can be used to date organic artifacts, or any thing that lived.
All living things have a radioactive isotope of Carbon called Carbon 14 from the sun.
Carbon 14 disintegrates by half in 5730 years (±40 years).
Scientists can measure how much Carbon 14 an artifact has today.
So, they can tell how old it is.

This method measurements back 200,000 years.
It measures the light given off by electrons trapped in the soil surrounding fossilsand artifacts.
Microscopic and biological analyses of organic remains—such as blood, hairs, and plant tissues left on rocks, tools, and weapons—give archeologists more information.
Analysis has shown that blood molecules may survive millions of years.

It is useful in telling archeologists more about humans, their use of tools, and the animals they killed.
Ancient deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is providing new information on humanevolution.
The analysis of plant remains on stone tools yields evidence on the history of farming.

migration.

They had to find and hunt food (a hunter and gathering society).
Once food became dearth, they moved on to the next place ( Nomadic society).

livestock (cows, sheep, pigs, goats, ass).

Men took over the work of farming. Men became the primary food-providers. Women became the family caregiver. Society transformed into a male-dominated (patriarchal) institution in most places

War raids and stealing ones neighbors food stuff increased greatly.
Then as now its always easier to steal then to assiduously work to make things.

The Grain-King story is from Neolithic England.
Some special individual (whom embodied male fertility) would besacrificed for the good of the community.
Without human sacrifice, the crops would not grow.
Bloody human sacrifice marks it as an alter to the gods.

The Grain Kings became the first priests, and who better than the war/raid leader to fill the role?
In most places, animal and plant sacrifice replaced human sacrifice to the Gods.
This lead to the first real division of society, into ruler and ruled.
Religions became much more complex.

One of the species of primates leaves the trees. They get up on their hind legs and begin using their hands to carry things.

Louis and Mary Leakey spent most of their lives searching for fossils of early hominids. They worked at Olduvai Gorge in East Africa. They discovered the first australopithecus fossil. They named her Lucy.

As hominids came down from the trees, their diet changed from herbivores to carnivores. CAUSE
This allowed the big jaw muscles to relax and the cranial cavity to expand. EFFECT

Homo erectus, “upright man,” lived 1.5 million years ago. Made use of larger and more varied tools, perhaps fire.First hominids to leave Africa and migrate into Europe and Asia.
Kenyanthropus platyops—the flat-faced man of Kenya— about 3.5-4.5 million years old.

About 250,000 years ago, Homo sapiens emerged
in Africa (Knowing Man).
Two groups: Neanderthals and Homo sapiens sapiens
Homo Sapiens Sapiens
Neanderthals
Found in the Neander Valley in Germany.
100,000 to 30,000 years ago, they used advanced stone tools and buried their dead.
They had larger brains and stronger bodes than us.
Their fate has obfuscated archeologists, some argue that they were killed off by Homo Sapiens Sapiens; others that both interblended.
One fallacy states that they live on as “bigfoot” or the “Yeti”.

Modern human beings lived in Africa 250,000 years ago.By 10,000 BCE, they had migrated throughout the world.
Asia and North America were connected by
the Bering land bridge from
100,000 to 8000 BCE. The water
level was low because of the
Ice Age.
