    Australopicus

    Australopicus
    Lived 4.5 million years ago in central Africa and modern day Ethiopia. Was the first hominid. Lived in forest mainly in the trees. It is the start of our evolutionary chain.

    Homo habilas

    Lived 2.5 million years ago, It is the first part in the evolutionary chain to show learning and creation, first to make tools

    Spear

    Spear
    Neanderthals were constructing stone spear heads from as early as 300,000 BCE and by 250,000 years ago, wooden spears were made with fire-hardened points. They helped for hunting.

    Homo Erectus

    Homo Erectus
    Lived 1.8 million years ago, they were the first to stand up. They were the first to use fire to cook and to make hand axes out of stone

    Out of Africa theory

    This happened around 1.9 million years ago, this theory says that we finally moved out of Africa. This is significant because we probably would’ve ran out of food if we didn’t move out of Africa. We also could repopulate more.

    Neanderthals

    an extinct species of human that was widely distributed in ice-age Europe between 120,000–35,000 years ago, with a receding forehead and prominent brow ridges.

    Fire

    Fire
    Evidence for the controlled use of fire by Homo erectus, beginning some 1,000,000 years ago. Fire helped us so we could cook things to help our brain grow and helped us digest things. This helps us creates tools and learn easier.

    Ice Age

    Ice Age
    The Ice Ages began 2.4 million years ago and lasted until 11,500 years ago. During this time, the earth's climate repeatedly changed between very cold periods, during which glaciers covered large parts of the world, and very warm periods during which many of the glaciers melted. This is significant because there wasn’t much of food supply they had to move around and live as nomads.

    Mount Toba Eruption

    Mount Toba Eruption
    Mount Toba Erupted about 75,000 years ago, this created a cloudy smoke that made a winter environment for 6-10 years and that lowered the temperatures significantly, which humans had to adapt to the cold.
  • 60,000 BCE

    Needles

    Needles
    We started creating needles about 60,000 years ago, this was significant because we started creating clothes so we could stay warm in the cold, we probably would’ve died if we didn’t have clothes to keep us warm
  • 20,000 BCE

    Land bridge

    Humans started to cross the land bridge about 20,000 years ago, this was significant because we could then spread into the Americas. There was new resources to use and new places to explore.

    Farming

    The Neolithic Revolution started around 10,000 B.C. in the Fertile Crescent, a boomerang-shaped region of the Middle East where humans first took up farming. Shortly after, Stone Age humans in other parts of the world also began to practice agriculture. Civilizations and cities grew out of the innovations of the Neolithic Revolution.

    Herding

    Herding
    Around 10,000 years ago, the New Stone Age had started. This was also known as the period of great development for the human race. It was during this period that humans moved from gathering to growing food and breed and herd animals. This was significant because humans could settle down and have a steady food supply.
  • 9000 BCE

    Founding of Jericko

    Founding of Jericko
    Jericho is one of the earliest continuous settlements in the world, dating perhaps from about 9000 BCE. Jericko provides evidence of the first development of permanent settlements and thus of the first steps toward civilization. They created silos so they could store extra food, they were the first ones to have an extra food supply
