Objectivesp. 009
WHI.2 The student will demonstrate knowledge of early development of humankind from the Paleolithic Era to the agricultural revolution by
a)explaining the impact of geographic environment on hunter-gatherer societies;b)listing characteristics of hunter-gatherer societies, including their use of tools and fire;c)describing technological and social advancements that gave rise to stable communities;d)explaining how archaeological discoveries are changing present-day knowledge of early peoples.

Essential Understandingsp. 010
1. The life of early hunter-gatherer societies was shaped by their physical environment.2. Early human societies, through the development of culture, began the process of overcoming the limits
set by the physical environment.3. The beginning of settled agriculture (including permanent settlements) was a major step in the advance
of civilization.4. Archaeologists continue to find and interpret evidence of early humans and their lives.5. Rivers/waterways were extremely important to early civilizations.

Essential Questionsp. 010
1. More than anything else, what shaped the lives of early hunter-gatherer societies?2. What were the key characteristics of societies of the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age)?3. What were the major characteristics of the Neolithic Era (New Stone Age)?4. Why were river valleys important to the development civilization?5. How did the beginning of agriculture and the domestication of animals promote the rise of settled
communities?

Why do I need to know this?p. 010
1. Early humans’ discoveries helped them survive, grow in numbers, and spread across the globe to inhabit the areas we live in today.
2. New methods for obtaining food and the development of technology laid the foundations for modern civilizations.
3. Contemporary civilizations share the same characteristics typical of ancient civilizations.4. All major modern cities are located on a river or other body of water.

Scientists search for Human Originsp. 011
1. prehistory (p.7) – the time in history before writing
2. archaeologists(p.7) – scientists who learn about early peoples by study the remains of their civilizations
3. artifacts(p.7) – remains (tools, jewelry, etc.) of an earlier people (ex. tools, jewelry, pottery, etc.)
4. culture(p.7) – a people's unique way of life
5. carbon dating* – to see how old some artifacts are6. Stonehenge* is an example of and archaeological site in England that was begun during
the Neolithic and completed during the Bronze Age7. hominid (p.8) – humans and other creatures who walk upright
8. 1974 – Donald Johanson (p.8) discovered the oldest hominid found to date
a. named her "Lucy (p.8) "
