How Did The Homo Sapiens Manipulate Their Living Environment

Africa was going through cool and dry periods which caused the elimination of the vast amount of forest, and ample amounts of savanna began to appear; because of this Great apes (early humans or hominoids) started to leave the trees in search of food and shelter. With the elimination of tree living the hominoids found the use of their opposable thumbs and started to stand more erect this enabled them to travel further and longer to explore the savannas. The change of their living environment would also be change in their diet; they began to Gather grains fruit and scavenge for meat left by larger carnivores. They learned how to manipulate their surroundings by using problem solving, memory and skills this showed the growth and development of their brains. They created large

The homo sapiens became Nomadic pastoralist moving their animals and plants and settlements to different areas with horses as resources would exhaust: transhumant herders kept their settlement in one area while moving their animals around. The earth drying made irrigation necessary to water plants and animals in some highland areas, others that lived close to water learned to fish and hand water their plants using pottery they made. All this agricultural growth led to trading and wealth status. Organized villages began to develop people started to perfect crafts such as farming, basket weaving and fishing; this led to changes in roles of men and woman with males being more dominate. Men would tend to the animals and plow fields while woman would harvest crops and prepare food. The changing of the climate had a huge impact on evolution and agriculture then and still has an impact
