• Archaeologists– Specially trained scientists who work to uncover
the story of prehistoric peoples– Archaeological digs are used to learn about early
people– Study artifacts: human –made objects
• Anthropologists – study culture: people’s unique way of life
• Paleontologists – study fossils: evidence of early life preserved in
rocks

footprintsCreatures that walk upright are
called hominids

Lucy and other hominids who walked upright were australopithecines.
Walking helped them travel and watch for danger, carry food and children
Opposable thumbs were developed

Earlier and longer part of the Stone Age is called the Old Stone Age or Paleolithic Age
Invention of tools, fire and language 2.5 million to 8000 B.C.

Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons traditionally are classified as early groups of Homo sapiens
1997 DNA tests has shown that Neanderthals were not ancestors of modern humans.
