Summary This section is about the migration pattern and how hunters and gathers got their food. The ice ages that they had to go through were hard because the animals that they were going after would go in a different way then they had thought of going. These bands of people would then find there way into North America because of fallowing the animals. The early people in Siberia had difficulty in the tundra and the bitter cold. Eventually some hunters reached South America.Hunters and Gatherers Pages 55 -57 Created by: Hanna, Halle ,Nicole! VocabularyArtifact-A human made object especially from long ago.

Language helped people join together to form a society. In ways people are very different from those long ago, but in some ways they are very similar. The differences in peoples cultures and their society set them apart.Effects of Changeby Riley Stickney and Isabelle ReynoldsSummary Early societies started to raise domesticated plants and animals, also known as agriculture . They needed to do this because they needed a reliable resource of food. When agriculture was doing well, they traded their leftovers for the things that they needed the most. Some of these things are spices, and clothing.Vocabulary wordsAgriculture-The raising of domesticated plants and animalsDivision of Labor-a system in which the members of a group do different tasks according to their abilities and the groups needsEnvironment-SurroundingsDiversity In Early AgricultureBy: Jenna Kanoza and Lindsey Dierig
