What is a biome?• A natural community that has a certain climate and has certain plants and animals that live and adapt to the area.

How are biomes determined?CLIMATE

We group them according to latitudes.

High Latitude include tundra, and alpine forest.

Mid-Latitude biomes include grasslands and deciduous forests

low latitude biomes include tropical rainforest, savanna, and desert.

BREAK

•What behaviors and ways of living might early humans have brought with them when they began to migrate out of Africa?

How do people plan together?

• Around the same time that humans started migrating, Language had to have been developed.

• It was a (Key) factor in the human

development.

Origins of language

part 1• Read the article

quietly

• Box and Summarize

• Create and design a flow chart—any shape and flow you want

Calls & Gestures

Ponder over this!

“Language was our secret weapon, and as soon as we got language we became a really dangerous people”

Mark Pagel

Student handout: Origins of Language Part 2

• Read the paragraphs• Study the map• Complete the summarization exercise• Make sure you use the words in the WORD

BANK

Student handout: Origins of Language Part 3

• Read the paragraphs• Think about this: • Not all primates developed language. Based

on what you just read, what do you think was different about these primate groups that did not develop language?

Advantages of kinship on language

• Both language and social networks based on family, allowed hominids to share more ideas, tools and resources.

• With this, one group could help another group to solve a problem.

• This way they spread their learning and thinking over larger areas.

• As people migrated, they took these ideas with them and solved them when they encountered new problems.

EXTRA WORK

Student handout: Phonetic Clues Hint Language is Africa-Born

• Read about when and where language was developed

• What is the most important information and how can you capture the main idea in fewer words that the author used?
