Pre-History and the Stone Age Pre-history is that history that pre-
dates the written word. most of our history was part of the
Paleolithic age (literally “old age of stone”, 2.5 million years ago (mya) to 8,000 B.C. during this time human like creatures
evolved from some sort of ancestor that predated us and chimpanzees
Hominids were various kinds of human ancestors that walked upright. ▪ invented tools, ▪ learned how to make fire, and▪ developed oral languages and

Anthropology = the scientific study of the origin, the behavior, and the physical, social, and cultural development of humans (can be paleoanthropology or modern anthropology)
“Paleo” simply means old What is “culture”?
Pre-History’s Detectives: Archaeologist Archaeologist = scientist and historian that studies
archaeology Archaeology = is the study of human activity in the past, is
often described as sub-discipline of anthropology excavation (digging of sites), examining artifacts, architecture, bones, and whatever other
material evidence is left over that may provide clues to past cultures
What are some examples of artifacts? Not specifically the study of bones, but scientists will study
bones in addition to other things like pottery or tools, etc. radiometric dating can be used study materials left at
excavation sites, ex. carbon can be radiometrically dated Carbon Dating Explained by Instant Egghead (You tube)
