Humans started in the continent of Afrca. The oldest skelton, Lucy, was found in Ethiopia. We know they came out of east Africa from 100,000 to 400,000 years ago. These humans followed food supplies.
Look at the map. What continent did humans not spread to?

Paleolithic Man
-hunters and gathers: followed food, were nomadic (wandered)
-simple weapons (notice the rocks, they are not shaped but blunt)
-had fire
-had oral language (they could communicate!)
-they lived in clans (about 30 people in a clan, like an extended family or tribe)

STANDARD WHI.2d) explaining how archaeological discoveries are changing present-day knowledge of early peoples.
- Archaeologists continue to find and interpret evidence of early humans and their lives.
- Archaeologists study past cultures by locating and analyzing human remains, settlements, fossils, and artifacts.
- Archaeologists apply scientific tests, such as carbon dating, to analyze fossils and artifacts.
- Stonehenge is an example of an archaeological site in England that was begun during the Neolithic Age and completed during the Bronze Age.
- Aleppo and Jericho are examples of early cities in the Fertile Crescent studied by archaeologists.
- Çatalhöyük is an example of a Neolithic settlement currently under excavation in Anatolia.
radiocarbon dating
Simple Definition: The determination of the approximate age of an ancient object, such as an archaeological specimen, by measuring the amount of carbon 14 it contains.
