Human migration

Australopithecus

200,000 BCE

4 MYA is invaded earth, South Africa, presented Ethiopia, 1 meter tall 3 feet live in trees, first human like creature, start of our evolution chain.

Homo habilis

199,000 BCE

Inhabited parts of Sub-Saharan Africa from roughly 2.4 to 1.5 millions years ago, Tools making hominid, larger brain “handy human”, earliest remains of this hominids walked on two legs. It enabled this species, arm, leg and body, the tools passed down generations into making more smarter machines and tools for weapons.

Homo Erectus

198,000 BCE

Standing erect, out of Africa, proportional - 1.8 millions years ago upright human existed from 1.8 million to 100,000 years ago, the first fossil ancestral to modern humans that shares ecology and had similar of body sizes to modern humans. And the first human ancestors to have similarities as of legs and other body parts.

Homo sapiens

197,000 BCE

200,000 years ago Displace all other forms of “human like” organisms “wise humans” showed rapid brain growth and mastered fire. These cultural advancements allowed for human geographic dispersal, cultural innovations, and changes to diet and behavior. Additionally, creating fire allowed the expansion of human activity to proceed into the dark and colder hours of the evening.

Homo sapiens sapiens

196,000 BCE

Survived from Language and collective learning, hunting and safety.
The earliest remains of Neanderthals were found. They probably lived between 100,000 B.C. And 30,000 B.C. Other remains in Europe and Turkey. They appeared in Africa between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago. They showed a suite of modern human traits.

Mt. Toba Catastrophe

75,000 BCE

Super volcano eruption in south east Asia that drove the world into a volcanic winter for 6-10 years. It covered the earth in leading up to death to plants and food resources. It impacted humans from forcing them to move from limited resources in search of food and humans leave Africa to explore.

BAB EL-MANDEB STRAIT

65,000 BCE

The narrow stretch of water between the Horn of Africa and the Arabian peninsula offered the shortest route to new continents. The strait would actually have been even less of a stretch than it is today. The Bab-El-Mandeb, a strait location between Yemen on the Arabian peninsula created the Danakil isthmus, aa land bridge forming broad connection between Yemen and Ethiopia. The movement of Africa from Arabia began about 55 million years ago,

Bering Land Bridge

20,000 BCE

30,000 years ago, humans migrated from southern Siberia toward the land mass and crossed over to the Americans by 16,500 years ago. The first human migration to the Americans actually took place around 13,500 years ago, based on spear points discovered near Clovis, New Mexico. It is important from lowered sea levels during the last ice Age exposed dry land between Asia and the Americans, creating the Bering land bridge.

Ice Age

11,000 BCE

The ice age influenced human migration. Because it was colder glaciers formed from ocean water. This caused the ocean levels to lower and land that was previously not there was revealed. These are called land bridges. Humans crossed a land bridge called the Bering strait to get to North America. It had occurred 2 billion years ago the most recent was approximately 3 million years ago.

1st Neolithic event

9600 BCE

final stage of cultural evolution or technological development among prehistoric humans. It was characterized by stone tools shaped by polishing or grinding, dependence on domesticated plants or animals, settlement in permanent villages, and the appearance of such crafts as pottery and weaving. The Neolithic followed the Paleolithic Period, or age of chipped-stone tools, and preceded the Bronze Age, or early period of metal tools. 2.5 million years ago.

2nd Neolithic event

9000 BCE

Middle East (Around 9,000 B.C.). The Neolithic Era starts in the Middle or Near East. It is a time when people move from the hunting and gathering stage and start settling down in one location. They discover that seeds can be planted so crops can grow.

3rd Neolithic events

9000 BCE

Eastern Asia Minor (Around 9,000 - 8,000 B.C.). Farming begins in the eastern part of Asia Minor or the southwestern part of Asia. Seeds are cultivated and animals are domesticated. People start setting up villages and small communities.

Early human Discoveries

10,000

As the earliest part of the Stone Age, the patheolitic era dervries it’s name from the Greek words “plaeos” meaning “old”. This time saw early human ancestors. This era began about 2.5 million years ago in Africa and lasted up to 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age it drew to a close as modern humans began producing works of art and discovering America and many tools in this period existed.

Discovery of tools

25,000

Early humans in east Africa used hammer as stones to strike cores and produce sharp flakes about 2 millions years ago they had these tools to cut,pound,crush, and access new food from different animals. They made stone tools including choppers, cleavers and hammers. stone tools and used them to butcher modern animals. There is a strong similarity between the marks their tools made and the marks on fossil animal bones

Discovery of early human inventions

250,000

Art (40,000 years ago),clothes (a million years ago) clothes helped people who left Africa stay warmer to migrate north into cooler climates. tools and weapons (2.6 million years ago) they provide evidence about the technologies, dexterity, particular kinds of mental skills and innovations that were within the grasp of early human toolmakers. Fire (400,000 years ago-1 million years ago) provided a source of warmth, protection, improvement on hunting, a method for cooking food.
