INTRODUCTIONWE MAY THINK US MODERN HUMANS DO A LOT TO HURT THE ENVIORMENT, EARLY HUMANS AND SETTLEMENTS DID MORE DAMAGE THAN YOU THINK. ALL THE DIGGING, KILLING OF ANIMALS, BUILDING, KILLING PLANTS FOR RESCORCES, AND MUCH MORE CAUSED A VERY BIG IMPACT ON EARTH AND THE ENVIORMENT WE LIVE IN TODAY. MY POWERPOINT WILL SHOW THE AUDIENCE HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT EARLY/ANCIENT HUMANS HAD ON EARTH.

AFTER GLACIER AGE

• OVER HUNTING• STARTING FIRES.• CUTTING DOWN TREES.• DIGGING UP STONES

FOR TOOLS.• USING UP EVERY

NATRUAL RESCORCE.

EARLY HUMANS

PICKING PLANTS, FRUITS, AND VEGIES.STARTING FIRES.CUTTING DOWN TREES.DIGGING FOR ROOTS AND HARVEST.DOING TO MUCH HUNTING.SLASH AND BURN FARMING.

EARLY FARMERS

• DIGGING UP CROPS.• DIGGING DITCHES FOR

IRRIGATION.• FARM ANIMALS EATING

GRASS.• CUTTING WOOD TO

BUILD BOATS FOR TRADE.

• BUILDING SILOS.

MESOPOTAMIA

• MAKING DAMNS TO CONTROLL FLOODING.

• BUILDING CHARIOTS.• MAKING A ZIGGUROT

IN EACH TOWN.• BUILDING ROOM LIKE

DAMNS TO STORE WATER.

EGYPT

• MAKING PYPRUS (DRIED UP DEAD GRASS).

• WAR• DIGGING UP STONES TO

BUILD PYRAMIDS.• BURRYING BODIES.

EGYPT (CONTINUED)

MORE CHANGES ANCIENT EGYPT CAUSED IN OUR IS PAPYRUS. PAPYRUS IS A TYPE OF GRASS. THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS MADE PAPYRUS BY LEAVING THE GRASS OUTSIDE FOR IT TO DRY. THIS COULD HAVE HAD AN IMPACT ON EARTH BECAUSE THIS PROCESS WAS USED A LOT AND THE RESCORCE COULD HAVE BECOME VERY SCARCE. THIS COULDHAVE ALSO BECOME A PROBLEM BECAUSE TAKING THE GRASS OUT OF THE EATH TAKES OUT THE ROOTS OF THE GRASS. THE ROOTS GIVE THE EARTH SOME LIFE. DOING THIS PROCESS OVER AND OVER MAY HAVE HURT THE EARTH.

GREECE

• BUILDING BOATS.• WOOD MONUMENTS.• BUILDING STONE

MONUMENTS.• BULDING HOUES NEAR

THE COST.• MAKING POTTERY OUT

OF CLAY.

ROME

• BUILDING STADIUMS OUT OF STONE.

• BUILDING BRNS TO RAISE CATTLE AND SHEEP.

• FORGING METAL TOOLS.

• MAKING WOOL CLOTHS FOR DECORATION.

CONCLUSIONALL OF THESE ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS CAUSED A LOT

OF EFFECT ON OUR ECONOMY TODAY. LIKE OVER USING RECORCES, OVER HUNTING, OR WAR. THESE

CAUSES HAD AN GREAT EFFECT IN THE WORLD. AS WE THINK TODAY HOW MUCH DAMAGE THE MODERN RACE DOES TO THE EARTH, EARLIER CIVILIZATIONS STARTED ALL OF THE DAMAGE TO OUR ECONOMY.

THANKS FOR WATCHING.
