Test Reflection

The way i studied for the test was simple i retook important notes and created a web that would help me study. Once I finished that I researched more on specific early humans like the homo erectus or cro-magnon. My mom also helped me study,she quizzed me and I wrote down the answers if I got them incorrect. I also Looked through the online textbook and re read some important chapters and articles. lastly i referred to my notes and looked at points that I high lighted or

I could have spent more time studying because overall I spent only 45 minutes to an hour. I also could have talked to some of my friends and they could have helped me or we could have collaborated and shared some notes and important facts. I didn't do this because I was on a tight scheduled and didn't have much time.

The most surprising thing we I learnt this unit is that the homo erectus was the first early human to use fire. I was thinking that it was either the Neanderthals or cro magnons. I also found out that early humans started walking on two feet because they wanted to attract the opposite gender

How does the use of fire demonstrate prehistoric people's ability to adapt to their environment

How does the use of fire demonstrate prehistoric people's ability to adapt to their environment

The use of fire shows that early humans were capable of taking care of them selfs and using tools that could help them survive. Fire provided warmth during the cold winter. fire was also used for scarring away animals and cooking food. The early hominids were capable of making new discoveries that led to a better life. Improved health and better living conditions.

Why did early humans begin to walk on two feet?

Early humans began walking on two feet because they needed 2 hands in order for them to use tools. Before they walked on two feet they couldn't use their hand effectively as they do on two feet. Early humans also could have walked on two feet because they wanted to impress the opposite gender by gathering the most food. For the early humans the one who has the most food was the most popular. Another reason could have been that they needed a faster way of walking and they found walking on two feet faster.

Why were tool-making and language important for the development of human culture

Why were tool-making and language important for the development of human culture?

Yes tool making and language were important for the development of human culture, they were important because language allows early humans to communicate with each other and with other tribes. This can start trades and exchange of cultures. Tools were important because they Helped early humans hunt, gather and build. Tools also made the early humans walk in a bipedal manner. This is so because the early homininds needed 2 free hands.

Hobbits

The hobbits or Homo Florensiensis were a possible species of early hominids. They had similar characteristics like the Homo Sapiens but were much smaller. Some anthropologists believe that this was a result of a disease called island dwarfism. There have been many debates over the existence of this species. They have similar bones and joints to the homo sapiens but they are smaller. They are still marked as a possible species.
