They left their caves for the comfort of houses built from reeds, peat,
leather, wood and stone
![Page 7: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
They built walls around their settlements and began to live
peacefully in settled communities
![Page 8: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Development of Humans
• Earth like deserted island for early humans
• Offered materials of nature, nothing else
• People survived finding ways to use materials to meet needs for food, shelter clothing
![Page 15: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Tools Were Important
• Made axes, knives, scrapers and spearheads using hard stone to chip pieces from another stone
• Various groups of humans created different tools depending on environment
![Page 16: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Tools Teach Us:
• How ancient peoples hunted• What they hunted (large or small prey)
• What each group’s life was like
![Page 17: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Tools Teach Us:
• How they cooked their food
• If they stored their food
![Page 18: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Lives changed drastically as they learned to make new tools
![Page 19: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Eras
• Scientists divided time early humans lived into three eras (periods of time)
• Eras were based on the materials in tools
»Stone Age
»Bronze Age
»Iron Age
![Page 20: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Scientific Evidence for 6 Groups of Early Humans
• According to Theory of Evolution each species of humans developed into the next group
• Some groups lived on Earth at the same time• Scientists do not all agree on names / dates for
each group• Support differences by analyzing fossil remains• Notice how each species used technology to
help them survive in their environment

Early Hunters• In ancient times, people could not be certain of getting
dinner if they stayed in one place
• People ate wild plants when they were in season
• Wild animals were eaten when killed with tools of wood and stone.
• Early hunters followed migrating herds of animals, or travelled to places where they had found food in past years.
• Hunting was a way of life for early humans. Evidence found at may sites suggests that early humans (starting with Homo erectus) were skillful hunters
![Page 26: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Pause & Discuss
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of the hunter-gatherer lifestyles?
![Page 27: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
North American Aboriginal people stampeded herds of bison off cliffs such as the one at Head-Smashed-in-Buffalo-Jump, Alberta.
![Page 28: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
• Why do you think this hunting method encouraged people to live in communities?
![Page 29: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Cro-Magnon Hunters
• Followed great herds of animals that once travelled across Europe
• Some lived in caves• Others made tents out of skins of animals
they caught• Could pack up tents easily and bring them
as they followed herds of animals• Tools were much more efficient than those
of earlier people
![Page 30: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Cro-Magnon Hunters
• Invented blade tools and made tools from bone to help make clothing and shelters
• used wood, bone, and plant fibres to make tools
• Most of these materials rotted, leaving little or no evidence
• Only stone tools survived
![Page 31: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Cro-Magnon Hunters
• Invention of barbed harpoon important to growth of population
• Hunting became more efficient as hunting tools improved
![Page 32: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Put Yourself into the Time and Place of a Historical Event
• Imagine you are one of a band of early humans who travel together in search of food
• Work in a group to develop a short skit about your discovery of fire.
• See criteria on assignment card on next slide
![Page 33: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Assignment Card
• You eat roots, fruit, and berries whenver you find them.
• You eat raw meat because you do not kow about fire.
• You break animal bones open so you can eat the marrow.
• Then one day you see fire for the first time. • How does the fire start? How does it change
your life? What can you do now that you could not do before?
![Page 34: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Farming: A Giant Step
• most of time humans fed themselves gathering wild plants / hunting wild animals
• by 5000 years ago, people had begun farming in almost every part of world
![Page 35: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
• Farming marks time when people began to grow plants and raise animals for food
• Humans began training animals to be of use to them
![Page 36: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
• Switch to farming marks a gigantic change in how people related to the earth and their environment
• Instead of simply finding and taking what nature provided, people started to help nature along
• As farmers, humans started to take control of the production of food
![Page 37: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
A Shift
• Shift from food gathering to food producing meant people could now be sure of getting enough to eat
• Dependable source of food allowed people to settle in one place
• As food became abundant, communities began to flourish
• Farming was a giant step towards the development of civilization
![Page 38: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
How Farming Got Started
We can only speculate. We weren’t there.
Some Theories:
• Spilled-Grain Hypothesis
• Watching-the-Animals Hypothesis
• Moov’en-and-Groov’en Hypothesis
![Page 39: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Spilled-Grain Hypothesis
Neolithic women, noticed new grain plants grew when they accidentally spilled grain seeds. They tried scattering seeds on purpose – it worked!
![Page 40: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Watching-the-Animals Hypothesis
• Animals often find plants in places with water / good soil - Hunters saw pattern
• People stayed at sites, animals became tamer
• People started weeding / irrigating so plants would grow better
• Started saving seeds of better plants to plant
![Page 41: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Moov’en-and-Groov’en Hypothesis
• One season, nomads liked a site so much they stuck around
• Stayed so long they harvested a crop and then saw it grow to harvest stage again
• Groups learned to grow a crop from seed to harvest and then move on
![Page 42: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Remember
A hypothesis is a theory or opinion that has not been proven – a kind of educated guess about what the evidence means
![Page 43: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

PAIR/SHARE ACTIVITY “Why Farming Began”
• Using Ancient Worlds pages 56-57, meet with a partner to discuss how the historian argued a hypothesis in the article “Why Farming Began”. Use the questions in the article to guide your discussion. Take turns reading the questions, and responding.
![Page 45: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Think for Yourself
• State your own hypothesis about how farming started.
• How is your hypothesis similar to and different from the one given in the article?
• Do you think the historian did a good job of supporting a hypothesis? Explain.
![Page 46: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Cities: Another Giant Step
Looking at how cities developed is like seeing civilization develop
• development of farming brought people together in communities
• people stopped farming when farmlands produced more food than was needed some
• some people developed others skill; moved closer together forming villages
• sometimes these villages grew into towns, and then cities
![Page 47: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Ancient Cities of the World
• In ancient times, cities homes of royalty and officials who held power
• Officials controlled surrounding land; decided who could farm
• Some cities grew around temple or place of worship
• Communities flourished because people could make a living (e.g, shopkeepers, craftspeople, artists, teachers, priests, and officials)
![Page 48: STEPS TO CIVILIZATION Unit 3 Social Studies 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56814fe3550346895dbdaddb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
