History is cool because...
Early Humans
History is all about stories of people in the past. They also tell us that history began around 5,500 years ago, when people started to write about different things. The story of people really begin in prehistory which is a time when people have not developed how to write yet.
Tools of Discovery
Scientists have found clues about the early human life. This is where archaeologists come in. They help uncover evidence buried in the ground. Archaeologists study artifacts and fossils that they find in the ground that people, plants, and animals have left behind in rocks. Anthropologists study how early humans developed and how they relate to one another. Historians call the early period of the human history the STONE AGE. The earliest period is the PALEOLITHIC or OLD STONE AGE. Paleolithic means " old stone" in Greek language. This time began around 2.5 million years ago and lasted until 8000 B.C.E.
Who Were The Hunter-Gatherers?
The paleolithic people were the hunter-gatherers. Some of their food was fish, insects, animals, fruits, berries, and grains that they gathered. Men and women had different tasks. Men went out and hunted and worked outside while the women stayed close to their home and watched to children. Paleolithic people stayed in groups around 30 because it was safer. A little bit later they discovered how to tame fire which was a life changing discovery.
