2. PRIMATES HOMO H OMO HABILIS( THE TOOL MAKER) HOMO ERECTUS( THE UPRIGHT MAN) HOMO SAPIENS( THE WISE MAN) NEANDERTHALS CRO- M A G N ON AUSTRALOPITHECUS Tracing The Beginning Of Human History

3. Primates are a subgroup of a larger group of mammals. They have body hair, a relatively long gestation period following birth, mammary glands, different types of teeth and the ability to maintain a constant body temperature.

4. So, It was during this time i.e. 5.6 million years ago that the higher primates, including apes and early man, first appeared. Their hands were different, too. Ape hands were made for climbing and clinging. There was a difference between apes and man.

5. THE ORIGIN OF EARLY HUMANS SO, ACCORDING TO THE MAP, WHERE DID EARLY HUMANS ORIGIN? So it means…we’re all Africans under the skin!!!

6. But, how do we know about people who lived so many millions of years ago??? Through FOSSILS and ARTIFACTS !

7. Scientists use many clues to help them put pieces of the past together. One thing they must know is the difference between a fossil and an artifact. Fossils are (plants, animals, people), not things that were made. Artifacts are not remains of living things.

8. Some fossils and artifacts of early humans

9. They did not need a boat. The Ice Age was here! They traveled across giant walkways of frozen ice, over what later would become vast rivers and seas.

10. Ways of obtaining food Early humans would have obtained food through a number of ways such as gathering, hunting, scavenging and fishing. would involve collecting plant foods such as seeds, nuts, berries, fruits and tubers. probably began later- about 5,00,000 years ago. The earliest clear evidence for the deliberate, planned hunting and butchery comes from 2 sites: boxgrove in southern England and Schoningen in Germany. was also important as is evident from the discovery of fish bones at different sites

11. The large stone boulders were used to support the sides of the hut. It even had a – fire provided warmth and light inside huts and could be used for cooking. Besides, fire was used in and could also be

12. The earliest evidence for making and use of stone tools comes It is likely that the earliest stone tool makers were the These tools were found in the olduvia. The 1 st is a chopper. This is a large stone from which The 2 nd is a hand axe.

13. About 35,000 years ago, improvements in the techniques for killing animals are evident from the appearance of new kinds of tools such as The meat thus obtained was probably processed by removing bones, followed by Thus, food could be stored for later consumption.

14.    od w h a t t o do now! Among living beings, it is humans alone that have a language. some views on language development are : 1) That hominid language involved 2) That spoken language was preceded by vocal but

15. It has been suggested that the brain of the Homo Habilis had certain features which would have made it possible for them to speak. Thus, language may have developed as early as 2 million years ago! Thus, the evolution of vocal tract was equally important. A 3 rd suggestion is that language developed around the same time as art i.e. 40-35,000 years ago.

16. Hundreds of paintings of animals( done between 30,000 and 12,000 years ago) have been discovered in the caves of Lascaux and chauvet, both in France and Altamira in Spain. These include depictions of bison, horses, ibex, deer, mammoths, rhinos, lions, bears, panthers, hyenas and owls.

17. Several explanations have been offered .One is that because of the importance of hunting, the paintings of animals were associated with ritual and magic. Another explanation is that caves were possibly meeting places for small groups of people and that

18. For several million years , humans lived by hunting wild animals and gathering wild plants. This led to the development of farming and pastoralism as a way of life.
