To-Do: 8/26/14

• Get the warm up off of the back & complete.• Do a QUICK go over of website/expectations/STUFF

in room – www.MsFerrari.com

• Go over Key Concepts • Go over Key Vocabulary terms for Paleolithic Notes. • Notes: Paleolithic Era

– you will need paper for note-taking

KEY CONCEPTS Key Concept 1.1. Big Geography and the Peopling of the Earth

•The term Big Geography draws attention to the global nature of world history. Throughout the Paleolithic period, humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas. Early humans were mobile and creative in adapting to different geographical settings from savanna to desert to Ice Age tundra. By making an analogy with modern hunter forager societies, anthropologists infer that these bands were relatively egalitarian. Humans also developed varied and sophisticated technologies.

I. Archeological evidence indicates that during the Paleolithic era, hunting-foraging bands of humans gradually migrated from their origin in East Africa to Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas, adapting their technology and cultures to new climate regions.

A.Humans used fire in new ways: to aid hunting and foraging, to protect against predators, and to adapt to cold environments.

B. Humans developed a wider range of tools specially adapted to different environments from tropics to tundra.

C. Economic structures focused on small kinship groups of hunting foraging bands that could make what they needed to survive. However, not all groups were self-sufficient; they exchanged people, ideas, and goods.

WHAP Exam

Key Vocabulary to watch for.

• Foraging Societies• Nomadic• Paleolithic• Egalitarian• Homo Sapiens

Paleolithic Man

(and woman!)

Lucy (Australopithecus)3.2 million year old hominid

• Human technological prehistory can be divided into three periods:– The Stone Age – The Bronze Age – The Iron Age

• The Stone Age is further subdivided into:– The Paleolithic – The Mesolithic – The Neolithic

• Archeological evidence indicates that during the Paleolithic era, hunting-foraging bands of humans gradually migrated from their origin in East Africa to Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas, adapting their technology and cultures to new climate regions.

The Beginnings of Belief System• Intentional burial, particularly with

grave goods may be one of the earliest detectable forms of religious practice

• Neanderthals were the first hominids to intentionally bury the dead, doing so in shallow graves along with stone tools and animal bones

Neandertal Burials

In an Israeli cave archaeologists discovered a woman who died at the end of Paleolithic times buried with roasted tortoise shells and bones

Closing

• Warm-UP: Vocabulary • Key Concepts • Notes: Neolithic Revolution • Video Crash Course Agricultural Revolution

The Neolithic Revolution

AKA – The Agricultural Revolutionc. 8000 BCE

First Farming – c 8,000 BCE

•People deliberately planted seeds and harvest their crops ON PURPOSE is agriculture

•People could become sedentary•Land is chosen for it’s fertile soil and production potential•Humans settled in 6 areas with similar characteristics

•Southwest Asia•Mesopotamia --  between Tigris and Euphrates Rivers

•North Africa•Nile River

•East Asia•Huang He or Yellow River

•South Asia•Indus River (aka Harappan)

•Central America•Southern Mexico (aka Mesoamerica)

•South America•Andes Mountains

Neolithic Timeline○ 8000 bce – Mesopotamia, Nile○ 6000 bce – Indus, Huang He○ 2500 bce – Mesoamerica, Andes

Domestication of Animals○ Taming of wild animals for human use

and consumption○ Dog, cat, goat, sheep, cow, chicken, pig○ Beasts of burden – horse

○ No horses in the Americas used llama and alpaca

○ Closer contact with animals = higher disease transference

Technological Developments Increase Food Production○ More efficient planting and harvesting

led to more available food○ Wooden plows, wheels, sickles

○ More food and storage led to population growth○ Clay pots, tightly woven baskets

Technological Developments Increase Food Production○ Irrigation

○ canals, reservoirs, shaduf○ Metallurgy

○ Melting and working with metal○ Bronze

○ Mixture of tin and copper○ Greatly valued for sharp edge

○ Iron○ Much more durable than bronze

Population Grows○ The more food, the healthier people are○ Healthy people are stronger, live longer

and have more children○ Population growth led to development of

cities○ Storage and accounting of food became a

major concern○ The need for accounting for food

availability and distribution led to the first writing systems

Specialization of Labor and Social Structures○ With adequate food supply people

tended to stay in one place○ Better technology allowed for fewer

farmers to feed the growing population○ Instead of concentrating on producing

food, people could focus on other types of production

Specialization of Labor and Social Structures○ Craftspeople

○ Construction, food storage○ Warriors

○ defense○ Religious leaders

○ Sprits tied to harvest○ Scribes

○ recordkeeping○ Kings

○ Organized all of the above

Closing Assignment

• BIG PICTURE QUESTION: – The Agricultural Rvolution marked a decisive

turning point in human history. What evidence might you offer to support this claim, and how migh you argue against it?

ANSWER• SUPPORT:

– The ability of humankind after the Ag. Rev. to support much larger populations; the beginning of the dominance of the human species over other forms of life on the planet; an explosion of technological innovation, including techniques for making potters, weaving textiles, and metallurgy; the growing impact of humans on their environments.

• OPPOSITION: – It could be said that the Ag. Rev. was a long term process and

not a turning point, and that even today it is not practiced universally by all humankind. The Agricultural Revolution was part of a longer process of more intense human exploitation of the earth that began long before the first permanent agricultural settlements took shape.
