What are we going to learn?
1. Introduction to history
2. Important evidence found in Africa
3. The Agricultural Revolution
![Page 4: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Think-Pair-Share
1. Write your thoughts in the margin
2. Share your thoughts with an elbow partner nearby
3. Be prepared to share to whole group
How do we study history if we have no written records in which to read
or interpret?

Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
1. Setting the Stage: Who are we?a. Evidence suggests humans could be much older than originally
thought
b. Scientists use artifacts to search for answers
c. Artifact: human made objects like tools and jewelry
d. Unfortunately, prehistory can leave more questions than answers
e. Prehistory: time before the invention of writing

Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
f. Important: The story is not complete and there are many questions left to answer
g. Two prevailing ideas (you will not be forced to pick a side):
i. Creation: Idea that a higher power put humans on earth
ii. Evolution: Theory that humans evolved from another being
![Page 7: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
2. Interesting Evidence Found in Africaa. Anthropologists (people who study culture) and paleontologists
(people who study fossils) attempt to use artifacts and fossils to understand early human’s culture
b. Culture: a people’s unique way of life

Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
e. Neither Lucy nor the Laetoli footprints were made by actual humans
f. Other beings such as____________, homo erectus walked the earth before we did.
g. No link to these beings has been made; “missing link”

Migration out of Africa
![Page 14: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
3. Humans Migratea. Humans are known as homo sapiens which means “wise men” due to brain
size
b. Eventually homo erectus & homo sapiens migrated out of Africa
c. Early humans were nomads or highly mobile people who move from place to place foraging, or searching for new sources of food
d. All early humans were also hunter-gathererse. Hunter-gatherers: those whose food supply depended on hunting
animals and collecting plant foods
f. Estimates show they started leaving Africa around 125,000 years ago
![Page 15: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
g. Settled in Europe 33,000 years ago, China 67,000 years ago, Australia 38,000 years ago, North America 12,000 years ago, and South America 12- 33,000 years ago
h. We know this due to similar stone tool artifacts found in different regions that date to roughly the same time period
i. Shows that early humans used technology: applying knowledge, tools, and inventions to meet their needs
![Page 16: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
j. Why did they leave Africa?i. Competition with other humans
ii. Following animal herds
iii. Human curiosity
![Page 17: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
4. Agriculture Changes Everything!a. Early nomadic humans lived in bands of 25-70 people
b. Around 10,000 years ago, the Neolithic Revolution began: the beginning of farming
c. It started accidentally when some women scattered seeds near a campsite and noticed crops growing there when they came back next season
d. Rising temperatures worldwide provided longer growing seasons
e. Farming produces more food than hunting or gathering
![Page 18: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
f. More food means a higher population, thus more labor
g. Due to labor and farming methods, permanent settlements developed
h. Permanent settlements turn into villages, villages turn into cities, cities turn into civilizations
i. Once you reach a certain population, you can begin specialization
j. Specialization: the development of skills in a specific kind of work (other than farming)
![Page 20: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture
k. Slash & burn farming was used (cut a field and burn it for nutrients)
l. Domestication or taming of animals began as well
![Page 21: The Earliest Humans Outcome: Human Migration & Beginning of Agriculture.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f525503460f94c7563e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Coming Up Next…!
m. Eventually all of this led to the creation of the first civilization on Earth in Mesopotamia called Sumer
