Migration from africa

200,000 BCE

Africa is the setting for the long dawn of human history. From about four million years ago ape-like creatures walk upright on two feet in this continent. Intermediate between apes and men, they have been named Australopithecus. Later, some two million years ago, the first creatures to be classed as part of the human species evolve in Africa. They develop a technology based on sharp tools of flint, introducing what has become known as the Stone Age.

Old stone tools

200,000 BCE

The oldest stone tools, known as the Oldowan toolkit, consist of at least:
• Hammerstones that show battering on their surfaces
• Stone cores that show a series of flake scars along one or more edges
• Sharp stone flakes that were struck from the cores and offer useful cutting edges, along with lots of debris from the process of percussion.

Making of fire

170,000 BCE

Protecting from animals, the used it to cook, and make homes out of caves.

Migration from Mt. Toba

75,000 BCE

The Toba supereruption was a supervolcanic eruption that occurred about 75,000 years ago at the site of present-day Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia. The Toba catastrophe theory holds that this event caused a global volcanic winter of six to ten years and possibly a 1,000-year-long cooling time. It covered the earth to a ash blanket that killed the food and resources.

Australia migration

50,000 BCE

Homo sapiens or humans evolved in Africa about 200,000 years ago, reaching modernity about 50,000 years ago. Prior to the arrival of humans in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, these places were inhabited by another species of hominoid, Homo heidelbergensis or Neanderthals.

Bones to needles

35,000 BCE

Take animal,bones and turn them into needles and would stitch clothing and shoes from the earths elements.

Caves of Lascaux

20,000 BCE

Cave painting flourishes in Spain and France, the most famous being the Cave of Lascaux in France.

Migration from Asia to America’s

14,000 BCE

the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between northeastern Siberia and western Alaska due to the lowering of sea level during the Last Glacial Maximum. These populations expanded south of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and rapidly throughout both North and South America, by 14,000 bc

End of ice age

11,700 BCE

End of the most recent glacial episode within the current Quaternary Ice Age.

Agriculture begins

10,000 BCE

Beginnings of agriculture in the Middle East.

Stone Age

9000 BCE

The Neolithic Era, also known as the New Stone Age, was the time after the stone or ice age and before the Copper Age in some areas and the Bronze Age in others. Depending on the region.

Tools

9000 BCE

Some of the tools that are used during this time are sickles or curved cutting knives made of flint, and axes and hammers made of polished stone. Early millstones called querns are made of two pieces of stone and are used to grind grains into flour.

Domestic age

8000 BCE

Animals, such as sheep and goats, are herded and raised as food sources. Eventually pigs and cattle are domesticated as well.
