Human Origins in Africa
1.Artifacts are human-made objects, such as tools and jewelry.
2.Scientists called anthropologists study culture, or a people’s unique way of life.
3.Humans and other creatures that walk upright, such as australopithecines, are called hominids.
4.The earlier and longer part of the Stone Age, called the Old Stone Age or Paleolithic Age, lasted from about 2.5 million to 8000 B.C.
5.The oldest stone chopping tools date back to this era. The New Stone Age, or Neolithic Age, began about 8000 B.C.
6.Homo erectus people used intelligence to develop technology—ways of applying knowledge, tools, and inventions to meet their needs.
Many scientists believe Homo erectus eventually developed into Homo sapiens—the species name for modern humans.
2.I think the advance of Homo erectus is the most important
This species is now known as Homo erectus, or “upright man.” Some anthropologists believe Homo erectus was a more intelligent and adaptable species than Homo habilis. Homo erectus people used intelligence to develop technology—ways of applying knowledge, tools, and inventions to meet their needs. These hominids
3.Bones might reveal what the people looked like, how tall they were, the types of food they ate,
diseases they may have had, and how long they lived. Artifacts are human-made objects, such as tools and jewelry. These items might hint at how people dressed, what work they did, or how they worshiped.
4.According to anthropologists, Homo erectus was the first to use fire. Fire provided warmth in cold climates, cooked food, and frightened away attacking animals. The control of fire also probably helped Homo erectus settle new lands.
