Hunters and Gatherers~
● Humans first sustained themselves as hunters & gatherers
● Hunters were responsible for killing and capturing animal and using their hunt for food, clothing, or tools; Gatherers were learned how to tell which plants or fruits were edible
● Early technology consisted of shaping stones into tools and weapons for hunt
● Mostly nomadic societies that had a migration pattern depending on the movement of game and/or the seasonal growth of plants
Major Migrations:
1. East Africa→Australia→Middle East→Europe→Asia
2. Asia→(Land Bridge)→The Americas The Neolithic Revolution:
The Revolution~
● In 8000 B.C.E. human beings began to develop settled communities
● Settling was based on successful cultivation of crops and domestication of animals
● the revolution itself occurred independently , in various locations, over a large time period ● Each agricultural hearth developed different farming practices that worked with their own land features
Revolution Outcomes:
1. There was a more constant food supply now that people started controlling food production and animal domestication.
2. With greater availability and easier access to food sources, much more people were able to eat. This resulted in longer life spans, and an i ncreasing population
.
3. Specialized jobs such as priests, traders, and builders are created considering not everyone is needed for food production
4. Women became responsible for raising children, cooking, and cleaning, while men controlled agricultural production and worked. This resulted into patriarchal systems
, where males became dominant in family life, the economy, and the government. 5. Settled peoples considered themselves superior when compared to the remaining hunters and gatherers, creating social distinctions between the two groups.
