From Pre-history to Civilzation
Lo1: Define Pre-history, Paleolithic, Neolithic, Fertile Crescent
Lo2: Describe the Impact of the Agricultural Revolution
LO3: To identify the 5 Characteristics of civilization
1.Prehistory is the period that begins with the appearance of the human being, about five million years ago, and finishes with the invention of writing, about 6,000 years ago. It is a long period divided into three stages: the Palaeolithic Age, the NeolithicAge and the Metal Age.
2.The Paleolithic or Palaeolithic or Palæolithic also called the Old Stone Age, is a period in human prehistory distinguished by the original development of stone tools that covers 99% of the time period of human technological prehistory .It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools by hominins 3.3 million years ago, to the end of the Pleistocene 11,650 cal BP.
3.The Fertile Crescent is a crescent-shaped region in the Middle East, spanning modern-day Iraq together with the southeastern fringe of Turkey and the western fringes of Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt. Some authors also include Cyprus.
The region has been called the "cradle of civilization" because it is where settled farming first emerged as people started the process of clearance and modification of natural vegetation in order to grow newly domesticated plants as crops. Early human civilizations such as Sumer flourished as a result.Technological advances in the region include the development of agriculture and the use of irrigation, of writing, the wheel, and glass.
4.The Neolithic also known as the "New Stone Age, the final division of the Stone Age, began about 12,000 years ago when the first developments of farming appeared in the Epipalaeolithic Near East, and later in other parts of the world. The division lasted until the transitional period of the Chalcolithic from about 6,500 years ago (4500 BC), marked by the development of metallurgy, leading up to the Bronze Age and Iron Age. In Northern Europe, the Neolithic lasted until about 1700 BC, while in China it extended until 1200 BC. Other parts of the world (including the New World) remained broadly in the Neolithic stage of development until European contact.
5.Agricultural Revolution was a shift from itinerant hunting/gathering to more permanent settlements centered on agriculture
