Chapter 1:The Emergence of CivilizationSection 1:Prehistoric Peoples
What basic needs do all humans share? What do people need to advance beyond
simple survival?
Bell Work
World Map-Geography Basics
Tswbat:
Explain how scientist study “pre-history” Describe the advances Neandertahl and
Cro-magnon peoples Explain the important changes caused by
the Neolithic agricultural revolution
Objectives
Hominids Artifacts Culture Limited evidence Nomads Agriculture Domestication Hunter-gatherers
Vocabulary
Scientists use the skeletons and other artifacts which remain to study early hominids and their cultures
Use advanced technologies to date artifacts
Use the limited evidence provided and their knowledge of geography and climate to make an educated guess about the prehistoric world.
Studying Pre-History
Early DiscoveriesHumans ancestors began in East
Africa1. Mary and Louis Leakey found
tools and a skull2. Donald Johansson found “Lucy
,” one of the oldest skeletons (3.2 million yrs, 3.9 feet, 60 pounds, and 25 years of age)
3. Video question: Summarize two reasons Lucy was significant.
Life of Early Humans Traveled in bands
living as nomads Hunter-Gatherers Used animal skins
for clothing Animism: believe
spirits live in animals, objects, or dreams
As time passed, humans moved out of Africa, tools progressed, and physical appearance changed
Human Migration
Read the section on page 8 on Neanderthal people and Cro-Magnon people
What important advances did each group make in the development of humans?
Neanderthal vs. Cro-Magnon
As climates changed(end of the ice age) and people migrated, nomads moved together for mutual support and to live on little resources
Develop agriculture and domestication of animals
Permanent settlements established
Neolithic RevolutionNew Stone Age
Agriculture (Farming)
Growth of Cities
Job Specialization
Trade
Writing and Math
Way of Life Changed
1.How do scientists study pre-history? 2.List three of the advances of Neanderthal

Bell Work
Civilization Irrigation Divisions of labor Artisans Cultural Diffusion
Vocabulary
Identify the 4 main regions of early civilizations
Explain the main characteristics of a civilization
Objectives
Task: You and your group members will be responsible for researching and reporting to the class on your civilization
You will be creating a group power point (30 points) Due: Monday, September 16 Civilizations to choose from:
◦ 1.Egyptians ◦ 2.Indus River Valley◦ 3.Mesopatmia ◦ 4.China
◦ Form groups(3-4) 7-8 total ◦ Choose topics
Early Civilizations Project
For your assigned topic, your report should include information from the following categories:
Location (map) and time frame of civilization
Defining characteristics of the civilization
Early Civilizations Projects
Use your textbook for the remainder of class and tonight to begin gathering information. (take notes on your civilization)
Early Civilizations Projects
Civilizations Develop Civilization: highly
organized social order and complex culture
All started near rivers 1. Drinking2. Farming3. Transportation
The Nile River
Early River Civilizations
1. Food Surplus-(agriculture-based)2. Organized government3. Complex religion4. Job specialization5. Social classes6. Arts & architecture7. Public works8. Writing-Calendars9. Use of Metals
Characteristics of a Civilization
City-states: political unit that included a city and its surrounding lands and villages
All polytheistic: many gods Social structure:
1. Ruling family, high priests2. Lower priests, merchants and artisans3. Peasants (most people)
