Chapter 1: From Human Prehistory to the Early Civilizations Paleolithic (Old Stone) Age (2.5 million-12,000 BCE) Typified by the use of crude stone tools and hunting and gathering for subsistence Nature of the human species gradually changed with a more erect posture and growing brain capacity Now termed Homo erectus and it is thought that the species originated in eastern Africa about 500,00 to 750,000 years ago Developed and spread in Africa, then to Asia and Europe Newest human breed, Homo sapiens sapiens, originated 240,000 years ago, also in Africa Men hunted only 7 hours a day, 3 days a week while women worked harder to gather fruits and vegetables, but there was significant gender equality Population growth was slow

Chapter 26 The Tree of Life An Introduction to Biological Diversity Overview: Changing Life on a Changing Earth Life is a continuum Extending from the earliest organisms to the great variety of species that exist today Geological events that alter environments Change the course of biological evolution Conversely, life changes the planet that it inhabits Figure 26.1 Geologic history and biological history have been episodic Marked by what were in essence revolutions that opened many new ways of life Concept 26.1: Conditions on early Earth made the origin of life possible Most biologists now think that it is at least a credible hypothesis That chemical and physical processes on early Earth produced very simple cells through a sequence of stages

Outline of prehistoric technology

The separation of the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages mark a great divide in the lives and cultures of prehistoric peoples. Many aspects of everyday life were modified to suit a new standard of living. Society, Economy, and Technology were greatly affected by the "Agricultural Revolution" that spawned the Neolithic Age. The Paleolithic Age, Greek for "Old Stone", is the era of the emergence of modern man. During this age, man was a hunter-gatherer species. Due to the plentiful sources of animals and plants, man could simply follow the herds and their migratory patterns. With no proprietary knowledge, each nomadic band was egalitarian as there was no distinction for a social ladder.
