Key Concept:

Archeological evidence indicates that during the Paleolithic era, hunting-foraging bands of humans gradually migrated from origins in East Africa to Eurasia, Australia, and America, adapting their technology and culture to new climates.

Our Topic:

Human Migrations in the Paleolithic Era

Required

Pre-Reading:

 

Essential Question(s):

ENV-4 Explain how environmental factors influenced human migrations and settlements.

ENV-5 Explain how human migrations affected the environment.

ENV-6 Explain how people used technology to overcome geographic barriers to migration over time.

Material to Master:

· Humans developed increasingly diverse and sophisticated tools-including multiple uses of fire-as they adapted to new environments. (1.1. I. A)

· Possibly as a response to climatic change, permanent agricultural villages emerged first in the lands of the eastern Mediterranean. Agriculture emerged independently in Mesopotamia, the Nile River Valley, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Indus River Valley, the Yellow River or Huang He Valley, Papua New Guinea, Mesoamerica, and the Andes. (1.2. I. A)

· People in each region domesticated locally available plants and animals. (1.2. I. B)

· Pastoralism developed in Afro-Eurasian grasslands, negatively affecting the environment when lands were overgrazed. (1.2. I. C)

· Agricultural communities had to work cooperatively to clear land and create the water control systems needed for crop production, drastically affecting environmental diversity. (1.2. I. D)

· Pastoralism and agriculture led to more reliable and abundant food supplies, which increased the population and led to specialization of labor, including new classes of artisans and warriors, and the development of elites. (1.2. II. A)

· Technological innovations led to improvements in agricultural production, trade, and transportation. (1.2. II. B)

· Core and foundational civilizations developed in a variety of geographical and environmental settings where agriculture flourished, including Mesopotamia in the Tigris and Euphrates River Valleys, Egypt in the Nile River Valley, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa in the Indus River Valley, Shang in the Yellow River or Huang He Valley, Olmecs in Mesoamerica, and Chavín in Andean South America. (ENV-2, 4) (1.3. I)

· As states grew and competed for land and resources, the more favorably situated - including the Hittites, who had access to iron - had greater access to resources, produced more surplus food, and experienced growing populations, enabling them to undertake territorial expansion and conquer surrounding states. (1. 3. II B)
