PRESENTATION OUTLINE

THE EARY HUMAN SOCIETIES

BY DEBBIE TRINH

Life of a hunter-gatherer was hard, for the fact they did not have all the resources we have today.

For hunter-gatherers to get food they had to hunt animals and gather plants.

BANDS

OFTEN HUNTER-GATHERERS LIVE IN SMALL GROUPS OF BANDS MADE UP OF A FEW FAMILIES

Hunter-Gatherers were nomads. Nomads are people who migrate due to weather or food supply in areas

The tools that hunter-gatherers used were made of leather, wood, stone, metal etc.

Religion
Hunter-Gatherers believed that everything in nature had a spirit. Often they would paint cave art to honor the animals they hunted.

Agriculture Revolution
At around 8000 B.C. food gatherers find out that they can plant their own food, instead of searching for it.

By discovering that they can just domesticate and farm they no longer had to migrate

Complex Villages

Most people in these villages had a specialty. A specialty is something that have talent in or love to do, kind of like a hobby.

Often in a complex village, many people traded their surpluses.
A surplus is extra thing that you need to survive.
