Today in class we learned about the prehistoric era and the time of 3000-1200 B.C. This is our very first unit of West Civ class and it pretty much sums up the first humans to walk the earth and how civilization was born. Here are the notes I took today:
- The origins and "Ages" of human beings
- 200,000 years ago a human species emerged in southwestern Africa
- 14,000 years ago, a worldwide human race existed
- The earliest prehistoric age was also called the Paleolithic age or the old stone age
- The Neolithic age or the new stone age was marked by advanced tool making and the beginnings of agriculture
- The Prehistoric Era was also called the Agricultural Revolution and the Neolithic Revolution
- The population goes up in high numbers
- Hierarchies appeared in village life
- The time of the invention of wheel and plow
- Villagers were polytheists, worshipped multiple nature, also human and animal gods
- The fertile crescent was were civilization began
