UCSP - Tangible and Intangible Heritage

1. EXPLORING TANGIBLE and INTANGIBLE Cultural Heritage

2. Cultural heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present, and passed on to future generations.  

3. Tangible  Tangible heritage refers to physical and material aspects of cultural identity that can be touched, seen, and physically experienced. It encompasses objects, artifacts, structures, and landscapes that hold historical, artistic, scientific, or cultural significance. 

4. Intangible   Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) refers to the aspects of culture that are not physical or tangible but are instead based on traditions, knowledge, practices, and expressions that are passed down from generation to generation within a community. 

5. BIOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL EVOLUTION OF HUMANS From Early Hominins to Modern Homo Sapiens

6. The goal of this lesson is to delve into the captivating journey of human evolution, exploring both the biological and cultural transformations that have shaped our species from early hominins to modern Homo sapiens.

7. Biological evolution refers to the gradual, heritable changes that occur in the inherited traits of populations over successive generations.

8. Cultural evolution is the development and transmission of shared knowledge, beliefs, customs, and practices within human societies over time.

9. GROUP 1 Pre-Hominin Era (5-7 million years ago): Ardipithecus and Sahelanthropus: Early hominins, showing bipedalism. Australopithecus Era (4-2 million years ago): Australopithecus afarensis (e.g., "Lucy"): Bipedal, small-brained hominins.

10. GROUP 2 Early Homo (2-1.5 million years ago): Homo habilis:  Tool use and increased brain size. Homo Erectus (1.8 million-300,000 years ago): Expansion out of Africa:  Use of more sophisticated tools and the ability to control fire.

11. GROUP 3 Archaic Homo sapiens (500,000-200,000 years ago): Neanderthals:  Distinct hominins in Europe and Asia. Homo heidelbergensis:  Common ancestor to Neanderthals and modern humans. Transition to Modern Humans (200,000-40,000 years ago): Homo sapiens:  Emergence of anatomically modern humans in Africa. Migration out of Africa:  Homo sapiens spread to other continents.

12. GROUP 4 Upper Paleolithic (40,000-10,000 years ago): Cave Art and Symbolic Thinking:  Evidence of advanced tools, art, and burial practices. Holocene Epoch (10,000 years ago to present): Agricultural Revolution:  Transition from hunter-gatherer to settled agricultural societies. Civilizations:  Development of complex societies, written language, and technological advancements.

13.  Resea rch and Presentation "Exploring Our Ancestry: Group Research Tasks" Assigned Time Periods: Each group will be assigned a specific time period or milestone in human evolution. These range from the early hominins to crucial transitional periods and the emergence of Homo sapiens. Biological Adaptations: Investigate the key biological adaptations during your assigned time period. Explore changes in skeletal structure, brain size, locomotion, and any notable anatomical features that contributed to the survival and evolution of our ancestors. Cultural Developments: Delve into the cultural aspects of your assigned era. Examine evidence of tool usage, art, language, social structures, and any other cultural innovations that characterize your time period. Role of Environment: Understand how environmental factors influenced both biological and cultural evolution during your assigned period. Consider climate changes, geographical locations, and available resources that shaped the adaptive strategies of our ancestors.

14. Presentation Guidelines: Prepare a visually engaging presentation using visuals, key facts, and, if possible, artifacts or images relevant to your time period. Aim for a concise presentation (approximately [insert desired time] minutes) to allow for group discussions and questions. Role-Playing Integration: In addition to your research findings, each group will integrate a short role-playing segment to illustrate the challenges and innovations of your assigned time period.  Peer Engagement: Discussion:  Encourage group members to actively engage with each other and with the audience during the presentation. Consider potential questions and reflections that may arise.
