People of the Stone Age

Hunters and Gatherers

Page 2: Hunters and gatherers.ppt

The earliest humans probably lived in Africa.

They spread to the rest of the world over the next tens of thousands of years as they hunted and gathered food to survive.

Getting Food

Page 4: Hunters and gatherers.ppt

Without becoming food!

Page 5: Hunters and gatherers.ppt

Groups of related families united in bands to collect roots, nuts, fruits and seeds. They also hunted together. By co-operating together they met their basic needs for food, clothing and shelter.

Page 6: Hunters and gatherers.ppt

The animals they killed provided meat for food, bones for tools, and hides for clothing.

Page 7: Hunters and gatherers.ppt

They set up seasonal camps in caves or rock shelters wherever the animals were plentiful.

Page 8: Hunters and gatherers.ppt

Bands migrated when food (plants or animals) became scarce in one location.

Spreading Through the World

Page 10: Hunters and gatherers.ppt

Reasons for the Migrations

• Couldn’t find enough food

• Growing number of bands

• Changing climate (desertification)

• Follow animals on the move (hunting)

Ice Age

About 35,000 years agoIce sheets covered about 1/3 of the earth

Result…ocean level lower & land bridges made migration to various parts of world

possible

Page 12: Hunters and gatherers.ppt

People in different parts of the world gradually developed their own cultures (way of life). As bands grew larger, their organization and interactions within the group changed. Band members now performed different tasks (division of labor) and took on different roles according to their abilities and the group’s needs.
