Australopithecus - Approximately three million years ago, a branch of these primates evolved into Australopithecus. Australopithecus was between 4 and 5 feet tall, clearly walked on two legs,

was a tool user (chipped stones), and apparently hunted. The most significant find of Australopithecus remains became well known as "Lucy."

Homo habilis - Also about two million years ago, another branch of Australopithecus became our ancestor, Homo habilis, which means "handy man." An early tool user, H. (for Homo) habilis

stood about 5 feet tall, weighed about 100 lbs, and had a brain from 500 to 800 cc

Homo erectus - About one million years ago came a closer ancestor of ours, H. erectus (image to the right), the first fire user and the first to leave Africa. Erectus had a larger brain -- about 900

to 1200 cc.

Homo sapiens - About 300,000 years ago -- H. sapiens enters the scene, back in Africa, with a 1200 cc brain. Archaic H. sapiens probably had speech, tools, and buried their dead.

Homo sapiens neanderthalensis 150,000 to 30,000 years ago came H. neanderthalensis, as some prefer. A cousin of ours, not an ancestor, they were about 5 ft 6 in tall, with heavy bones and

large brows. They had a brain that was actually a bit larger than ours - 1350 cc. Their remains are found primarily in the Near East and Europe.

EVOLUTION – THEORY OF CHARLES DARWIN

Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of

life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures

evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time.

THE PALEOLITHIC AND THE NEOLITHIC PERIOD - Life in the PALEOLITHIC

Late Stone Age Upper Paleolithic, 45,000-20,000 years ago By the LSA, only fully modern humans were left, and we spread all over the planet. The LSA is characterized by fully modern behaviors such as cave art, hunting, and a wide range of tools. Paleolithic Summary - Hunters and Gatherers – Nomads/Taken from-http://mr_sedivy.tripod.com/prehist2.html

What They Were Like: 1. Didn't build permanent dwellings. Made temporary homes in caves or tents made from branches and animal skins. 2. Had to move when the animals did. 3. Made tools. 4. Used fire. 5. Language to pass on information. Fire provided warmth, cooking, light, smoke to preserve food and made animal skins more waterproof; torches to drive animals off cliffs

The Stone Age (known to scholars as the Paleolithic era) in human prehistory is the name given to the period between about 2.5 million and 20,000 years ago. It begins with the earliest human-like behaviors of crude stone tool manufacture, and ends with fully modern human hunting and gathering societies. The Paleolithic is the earliest archaeology; anything older is paleontology. Scholars traditionally divide the Paleolithic into three categories, more or less as follows. Lower Paleolithic (Early Stone Age) The Lower Paleolithic lasted between 2.5 million-200,000 years ago (or at least according to one permutation), and it was when the Hominin ancestors of human beings, including Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo ergaster, roamed most of the earth and began making the first stone tools. Middle Paleolithic (Middle Stone Age) The Middle Paleolithic (ca 200,000 to 45,000 years ago) witnessed the evolution of Neanderthals and the first anatomically modern Homo sapiens sapiens, and some of the first glimmers of modern behaviors: sophisticated stone tools, caring for the elderly, hunting and gathering and some amount of symbolic or ritual behavior.

Why Did They Do Cave Art? Possibly a ritual to help with hunting.

Environment Changes Late in Stone Age, it got colder. There were four ice ages, each lasted for tens of thousands of years. The last ice age ended about 20,000 years ago. (However, a polar bear skeleton found that is 60,000 years old refutes this. Also, a wolf skeleton was found; wolves needed a warmer climate.)

Hunter Gatherers

1. Tools need to be lightweight to carry easier.

2. Have to cooperate with everyone to get a good hunt - greatest fear was of social ostracism.

3. Little emphasis on material goods or private property.

4. Small groups - no more than 100.

5. Being very young or very old was not good - they were bad food producers.

6. Men hunted, women gathered.

Life in the NEOLITHIC (About 9,000 Years Ago)

Originally the term "Neolithic" referred to the final Stone Age before the age of metals, that is: the Chalcolithic (copper), Bronze, and Iron Ages. Today "Neolithic" usually refers to the period of the origins and early development of agricultural economies. The oldest evidence for agriculture comes from the eastern Mediterranean (Levant) where agriculture came into practice 11,000 years ago at the end of, or shortly after, the Younger Dryas cold interval during which much of the region was not inhabited (Alley). An abrupt shift to warmer climate then allowed the cereal grasses and trees to expand from the Levant, taking about 1,000 years to reach Iran (Hole, 1999). As this expansion of natural vegetation took place, agriculture spread with it. The domestication of goats and sheep, on the other hand, occurred in northern Mesopotamia and the Zagros mountains, perhaps in Kurdistan and southern Anatolia (Zeder). The combination of agriculture (wheat, barley, lentils) and the raising of livestock (goats, sheep, cattle, pigs), formed the basis of the agricultural economy that has lasted until today and spread throughout the world (Harris et al.; Nesbitt, 2002).

Neolithic Summary

How Early Humans Avoided Constant Wandering:

1. Farm and herd. Gather seeds from wild grasses and cultivate crops. Tame and domesticate animals - now there was a dependable food source. Do all of this by a river. Why along rivers? Fresh water for people, animals and crops, and it made trade easier because it is easier to travel on water.

Domesticated Sheep Herded in the Alps

How Did They Improve Agriculture? Plow (pulled by oxen), metal tools

The Iceman's Axe, Discovered in 1991

2. Now, you can build a house. Others build houses close by, so they can be by the food source.

3. Social structure. Men hunt; women and children work the farm.

4. Artisans. Others, who don't want to farm, make things. Invented baked clay pottery, potter's wheel, looms for weaving, etc.

5. Barter system. How the farmers get the goods from the artisans and the artisans get food.

What Were Their Houses Like? Rectangular, flat roofs, only entrance was through the top. For ease, the houses were built adjoining each other.Who Did They Worship and How? Goddess of Agriculture. Decorated building to her. Buried dead with food, showing a belief in the afterlife.

Now, How Would They Trade with People Far Away? Develop the wheel and the sail.

What Were the Problems of Ownership? Needed a government. Usually a leader or chief - usually had a council to help make decisions.

Where Was the First Town? Jericho, on the Mediterranean 7000 B.C.
