    Paleolithic Age
    Intro.
    Scientists believe the first humans lived
    in Africa.
    Climate conditions allowed humans to
    migrate out of Africa, this time is
    known as The Paleolithic Age (Old Stone
    Age).
    These people survived by hunting and
    gathering.
    OBTAINING Food supply and Population is directly related.
    Humans had a very short life expectancy .
    FOOD Paleolithic humans only stayed in one spot until
    the food supply was gone.
    Women and Children’s roles
    – Gathered nuts, berries, and eggs
    – Collected honey
    – Dug for roots
    Men’s roles
    – Hand fishing
    – Hunting small animals w/ sticks and rocks
    – Hunting for larger animals in groups
    MAKING
    Sticks and stones were sharpened
    into useful tools for hunting and
    TOOLS
    other jobs.
    The first tools = Olduwan Pebble
    Tools.
    Chips were taken out of large
    stones to make jagged sharp
    edges.
    MAKING FIRE
    Fire was 1st discovered by humans as a natural
    element, lighting causes fires.
    Soon the realized that they could make fire by
    rubbing 2 sticks together to create sparks.
    Fire was used by early humans many ways :
    – Stay warm and dry
    – As a weapon
    – For hunting
    – For clearing land
    – Cooking food
    MAKING FIRE
    Cooking food helped the digestion process
    allowing humans more time to complete other
    tasks.
    Cooking also allowed for better nutrition.
    SEEKING
    SHELTER
    The first humans lived on the open
    plains of Africa, they took shelter in
    pits they dug and dry river beds in bad
    weather.
    As the prehistoric humans moved out
    of Africa and into Europe and Asia they
    began to use caves as shelter.
    Example of a cave where evidence was found of
    prehistoric man.
    MAKING
    CLOTHING
    As climate changed to cool and wet
    prehistoric man began to use large
    animal hides for clothing.
    They were sewn together to
    provide protection and warmth.
    DEVELOPING
    LANGUAGE
    Language made it possible to
    pass on stories and share ideas.
    Younger generations learned
    from older generations how to
    improve civilization.
