5. Why were early humans nomadic?
6. Name 5 technologies developed by Early Humans.
Warm-up 2 answers

Unit One, Day Three Warmup Questions Quiz on Paleo/Neolithic Eras Civilization Notes Civilization Chart Civilization Cut/Paste activity Finish terms
Due: Book worksheet, side 2Terms on Neolithic Era
Objective: SWBAT identify at least five characteristics from the beginnings of civilizations.
Warm-up 31. Another name for the Neolithic Era is the Old Stone Age
or the New Stone Age?2. The Neolithic Era began when humans learned
agriculture or how to domesticate or gather plants and animals?
3. Why were Neolithic humans able to settle in one place and build houses and villages?
4. Name five technologies developed during the Neolithic Era?
5. Name two Neolithic sites being studied by archaeologists today.
Warm-up 3 answers1. Why were Neolithic humans able to settle in one
place and build houses and villages? Since they could farm and domesticate animals they had a ready supply of food
2. Name five technologies developed during the Neolithic Era? agriculture, domesticated animals, weaving, pottery and advanced tools and weapons
3. Name two Neolithic sites being studied by archaeologists today. Jericho, Aleppo, Catal Hoyuk, and Stonehenge

Unit One, Day Five Unit one test Begin new Unit
Due:TestEverything in packet is collected
• Objective: SWBAT apply their knowledge of the Paleolithic Era, the Neolithic Era and early civilizations on a unit test.
Prehistory to Early Civilizations
Paleolithic EraNeolithic Era
Civilization
Prehistory:• The period of time before writing existed
• It includes the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras
Paleolithic Era2 million BCE to 8000 BCE
• old stone age
• lasted from the appearance of man until the development of agriculture (farming)
Where are the oldest remains
of humans found?
East Africa
Homo Sapiens• (Modern man) Emerged in Africa
between 100,000 and 400,000 years ago
How did geography affect the lives of early
humans?
• Early humans were hunters and gatherers whose survival depended on the availability of wild plants and animals
• They were nomadic (they migrated in search of food, water, and shelter).
• They migrated from Africa to Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas
Migration Out of Africa
What were the characteristics of hunter-gatherer
societies during the Paleolithic era?
• Because they followed herds of animals they lived in temporary shelters (caves and tents).
• Spent most of their time hunting or gathering food and water necessary for survival.
• Lived in clans (extended family groups)
Technology:• The way people apply
knowledge, tools, and inventions to meet their needs.
What technologies were developed
during the Paleolithic era?
• simple tools and weapons (made of stone, wood, etc.)
• oral (spoken) language
• fire
• clothes (from animal skins and grasses)
• cave art
The Age of Cave Art
Neolithic Era8000 BCE to 3500 BCE
• period of time that began when people took up farming (the Agricultural Revolution) and ended
with the advent of civilization.
New Stone Age
• Humans learned how to
domesticate both plants and
animals.
• Domesticated (tamed) animals were penned or herded to provide a ready supply of meat, milk, fur,etc.
Wild boar Domesticated pig
How did the beginning of agriculture and the
domestication of animals promote the rise of settled
communities?
• People could settle in one place because they didn’t have to search for food, water
and shelter.
• They built permanent dwellings and settled in small villages
• They spent less time searching for food and had some 'spare time' in which to innovate
and create new technologies.
Migration into the Fertile Crescent
What technologies were developed during the
Neolithic era?
• agriculture
• domesticated animals
•advanced tools and weapons
•pottery
•weaving
How do we learn about prehistoric humans?
Archaeologists• Study past cultures by locating and analyzing
human remains, settlements, fossils, and artifacts
Artifacts• Things made by people
Archaeologists apply scientific tests such as
carbon dating to analyze fossils and
artifacts.
• Carbon 14 dating: used to find the age of organic
materials.
The Ice Man
What Neolithic sites are being studied by
archaeologists today?
Aleppo
Jericho
Catal Hoyuk
Aleppo and Jericho:• Two of the world’s earliest cities located
in the Fertile Crescent, a region in the Middle East with rich soil for farming.
TURKEY
FERTILE CRESCENT (in white)
Aleppo
Why did they build this city on top of a hill?
Jericho
What’s Jericho famous for?
Catalhoyuk:
• An example of a large Neolithic settlement currently under excavation in Anatolia (present- day Turkey)
Stonehenge• an example of an archaeological site located in
England. It was begun during the Neolithic and completed during the Bronze Age.
Civilization
What is a civilization?
Civilization:• A culture with cities, writing
(record keeping), centralized government, complex religion, specialized workers, and advanced technology.
How and Why Did Civilizations Begin?
What is the key feature to the emergence of civilization?
The growth of cities
What caused cities to grow?
Farming Technology(better tools, plows, and irrigation) improved to the point that in fertile
areas people were able to produce more food then
they needed.
Agricultural Surplus(extra food)
Caused population to grow and trade to develop
What were the characteristics of early
civilizations?
Characteristics of Early Civilizations
• Cities
Written Language/Record keeping
• Written language developed from pictures
• Pictograms – earliest written symbols
The Development of Writing
Centralized Governments:• City-states,
kingdoms, and empires
• Power was often based on religious authority
Hereditary Rulers
• Dynasties (ruling families) of Kings, Emperors or Pharaohs
• Dynasty: ruling family
Written Law Codes
Code of Hammurabi
Ten Commandments
Job Specialization:• An abundant food supply allowed some people to
become expert at jobs besides farming (artisans, scribes, and merchants)
Scribes
Rigid Class System• Very small
upper class: king, nobles, priests
• Small middle class: artisans, scribes, merchants
• Huge lower class: peasant farmers and laborers
king priestsnobles
merchantsartisansscribes
peasants
• Slavery developed in most cultures
Polytheism• Belief in many
gods
• Practiced by most early civilizations
Temples
Metal Tools and WeaponsBronze and iron
Egyptian Sword
• The wheel and the sail allowed traders to transport more goods over longer distances.
