Warm-up 10/2
• During the time of the earliest humans, when people still hunted and gathered their food, what would make a good place to live?
• What resources would people need to have around them all the time?
Fossils
• The remains of plants or animals. These can be bones or imprints found in layers of rock
Excavation
• excavation is the process of finding archaeological remains. An excavation site or "dig" is a site being studied.
Early Humans
What have archaeologist learned about early human tool making?
- Humans made basic tools of stone like flint. They grinded the edges with other rocks to make them sharp.
- Flintstones!
Early Humans
Where did hominins settle?
-Near food and water-Adapt to weather conditions and climate-Most scientists believe that hominins settled in
East Africa because there was plentiful food (fruits and animals)
-Migrated to Asia and Europe
Early Humans
• Originated in Africa
• Hominins = Walk upright– The first man-like creatures– 4.5 million years ago
Early Humans
• Homo Neanderthalensis (Neanderthals)– 300,000 years ago– Used fire– Hunted small animals
Early Humans
• During the last Ice Age (100,000 BCE – 8,000 BCE), the water level in the oceans dropped
• This revealed the Bering Land Bridge, connecting Asia to North America
Migration
• When a large group of people or animals moves from one place to another
• Humans originated in Africa and slowly migrated to different parts of the world over thousands of years
Nomadic• People who move from place to place without
a permanent home
• Humans were nomadic until the Neolithic Revolution (10,000 BCE – 2,000 BCE)– This means humans moved from place to place for
millions of years and migrated to different parts of the world
Human Migration Worksheet
• Read the passage about how humans spread from Africa to the other continents
• Complete the charts on the back of the reading that show different human migrations throughout different points in history– Draw a symbol on each map, showing where
humans were living.– Answer the questions about each date
Where did Humans Settle?
• 150,000 BCE• Humans were living in Africa because of the
warm weather• Plenty of food was available (fruits, berries,
and animals)
Where did Humans Settle?
• 80,000 BCE• Earth’s climate turned much colder.• Humans migrated to Southwest Asia in search
of food and water
Where did Humans Settle?
• 40,000 BCE• The Ice Age came to an end, so people started
moving further north into Europe
Where did Humans Settle?
• 15,000 BCE• Humans migrated from Asia to North America
through the Bering Land Bridge
