Homo Sapiens: A Comparative Analysis

Families were smaller, due to the fact that the population must stay small. Women and children gathered berries and nuts, while men hunted animals. When agriculture was created there was less hunting so men started to do the women’s jobs.This threw off the balance of equality. More children were forced to do laborious work, and families began to grow. Social classes began to form after agriculture. At this point only two variations of humans existed: Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. These early humans spent most of their days advancing with toolmaking and setting up civilizations around their agriculture.
