Early Man through the Stone Age
Soooo… What do we know about the Past??? Turn and Talk with your Group about your conceptions of Early Humans. Video (Show first four.)
The First Humans ● The first humans are known as hominids ● No matter what you may have seen in the movies, early man did not live during the same period in history as dinosaurs! ● Dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. The first human like hominids did not appear until around 3 million years ago.
● 3 million years ago, the earth was full of life, including all kinds of plant, bird, and animal life (deer, giraffes, horses, lions, wooly mammoths, etc.) ● It was during this time that the higher primates, including apes and early man, first appeared. ● There was a difference between apes and man. Early human-like hominids could stand upright. Apes could not. ● Their hands were different, too. Ape hands were made for climbing and clinging. Man’s hands were jointed differently, which allowed them to make and use tools.
How do we know?? ● Lucy!!! • In 1974, the oldest known skeleton was found in Africa. • The bones were those of a female, about 20 years old or so when she died. • Scientists named her Lucy (after a Beatles song) . • Tests showed that she lived more than 3 million years ago. • Anthropologists could also tell from her bones that she was small (only about 4 feet tall and 50 pounds!!) and had walked on two legs…a key step in human development.
Very Early Humans How do scientists know about an early man who lived 3 million years ago? The discovery of “Lucy” may answer some of their questions. But who in the world is “Lucy”?
