Old Stone Age-Paleolithic Age

• 1st stage of human life• Began approx. 1 million years ago

when the Earth was covered with ice-Ice Age

• Early man appeared during the last Ice Age

• Prehistoric- NO written language

Types of Early Man

• Australopithecus – ape

• Homo habilis – working man

• Homo erectus – upright man

• Neanderthal –

• Homo sapien- wise man

• Hands to grasp objects and tools

• Upright posture; hand can move freely

• Power of speech to communicate

Basic needs:

•Food

FOOD for Old Stone Age – Paleolithic Age

• Large game -• Small game -• Fish• Plants• Roots• Nuts• berries• Fruits• NO FARMING!!!!!!

Shelters: Old Stone Age – Paleolithic Age• Nomads – no

permanent homes• Caves – if available• Animal-skin tents• Animal bone shelters• Open-air camps• Rocky outposts

How did it get its name?How did it get its name?

• ….because the Old Stone Age people made their tools from the STONE.

• …because the people learned to work together

• ….because these people learned how to use FIRE.FIRE = [meant what to these people?]Warmth, cooking, light, protection

origin = beginning

During the Old Stone Age people lived as

NOMADS.• A group of people

that travel from one place to another in search for food.

• They have NO permanent homes.

They lived in GROUPS• Extended

families: related to one another

• Small groups up to 50

• Cooperated to survive

• Nomads

Hunting Techniques• Hunt as a group to

ensure success and safety – to prevent injury or death

• Camouflage and ambush

• Encircle the animal• Chase off a cliff• Attack from trees

What does this picture depict?What conclusions about the picture can be made

based on your knowledge of the Stone Age?

The deer [game] was quite useful to the Early People.List 5 specific ways they

used the deer. Remember, NOTHING

would go to waste.

Tools and Weapons

• FLINT: Used for what?– Fire

– Tools: knives, spear points, scrapers, axes

• Other materials used– Bones, teeth, tusks, shells,

• NO METAL TOOLSNO METAL TOOLS

Religious Beliefs• The more skilled they

became as H&G, the more SPARE time they had for leisure.

• Cave paintings, made jewelry, musical instruments

• Based on nature and the animals they needed for survival

• Buried dead carefully with jewels, tools and weapons: Indicates a belief in life after death

Men Hunt, Women Gather

As soon as you set foot in the mall, the friction begins.She wants to roam around to the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Macy’s, but can't quite remember where any of those stores are.

He knows exactly where he's going and wants to practically run there, get the thing he’s looking for and get out of there as if the food court were on fire.

Now we know why. University of Michigan psychologist Daniel Kruger has found that how we shop has an awful lot to do with how we once found our food. Men hunt. Women gather.

Kruger had his light bulb moment while on vacation with his future wife and another couple in central Europe.

Kruger and his buddy got ready to hit the sights. The women started looking around for the nearest shopping centre.

As a scientist, he wanted to know the reason. He did a battery of tests on student volunteers.

Kruger found that our habits haven't changed. Our environment and our goals have.

In prehistory, women gathered for food. This kept them close to home, performing a daily, intensive and social activity. A good memory, a keen eye and a lot of patience when choosing, helped make a good gatherer.

Men hunted for meat. This was an non-social activity that earned them prestige only through the biggest catches. Short bursts of energy, were followed by long periods of sitting around waiting for women to bring in the harvest.

With different duties came different abilities. •Women perceive color more vividly. •They are less likely to be color blind. This allows them to distinguish between edible and poisonous berries, for instance. •Foraging also encourages pickiness, which they found rewarding when they returned with an abundance of food. •Women see directions in straight lines, which allows them to head right to a favorite gathering spot.

•Men have better spatial awareness, which allows them to navigate in unfamiliar territory. •Cave men operated with two goals in mind – kill as big a thing as possible and make sure everyone in the village knows about it.

The proceeds of a hunt were shared throughout the group and increased a man's prestige.

The wide-ranging conclusions drawn by Kruger help explain why women are more mindful of sales (i.e., choosing to return when a desired food is more ripe) and why the fashion calendar is seasonal (i.e., keeping a sharp eye on what food is most desirable at what time of year).

It also helps explain why a husband sent out to get a carton of milk returns with a widescreen TV. Studies among the Ache tribe of Paraguay show that hunters often kill something too large knowing that a big catch means greater popularity. Men in Kruger's study said that they only enjoyed shopping when it was for a major purchase like a car.

Then there is talking. Gathering, by its nature, is social. Women speak an average of # words a day. Men speak ?.

For men, a long-winded discussion might tend to frighten off the buffalo, so hunters prefer to stalk in silence. Since the hunt can be dangerous, men did it without their children in the vicinity.

This leads to a simple conclusion – men and women should never do together what we've spent thousands of years doing apart.

The Earth grew warmer!

The ice melted.

This enabled the early people to what?

Settle in one place and FARM!

New Stone Age- • Began around 8000 BCE

• Lasted 5000 years

• We saw the beginning of:

civilization:

-a culture that has developed a system of *governing the people

* a religion

* learning

The New Stone Age people learned to domesticate [tame] the animals.

This lead to a constant food for the people –how?

*dogs hunted smaller animals

*the animals carrying heavy objects

*used chickens for eggs

*used sheep for wool*used goats for milk

• Artisans = craft workers

• Technology = the use of skills and tools to serve human needs

named Julian Beever. His work is incredible.

CHAPTER SUMMARY• SECTION 1 – Geography and History

– The study of tools, bones, and other objects can help to explain prehistoric life.

– The development of writing marks a turning point in the story of our past.

– The geography of a place can explain why historic events happened there.

SECTION 2 - PREHISTORY

• During the Old Stone Age, our ancestors survived by hunting animals and gathering plant foods.

• Gradually, our ancestors moved and spread out over much of the Earth.

• During the New Stone Age, some people began to farm and to domesticate animals.

SECTION 3 – THE BEGINNING OF CIVILIZATION

• The advantage of a steady food supply helped early farming settlements to prosper [grow]

• Farming settlements grew into cities because of their geographical locations.

• The first civilization developed in cities and spread with the help of trade.

Drawing Inferences-[conclusions, assumptions]

• In your notebook, with a proper heading, answer the following questions in complete sentences. I will be collecting them.

• Analyze [dissect, study] the clothes you wear and the things you carry to school. – What do they say about your life?– How does your story compare to the

Iceman’s story?
