Man kind today owes Early Man Kind

Owes

~ With out our Prehistoric ancestors we wouldnt have the tools and we wouldnt be able to walk upright.
The early species probably didnt know the modern ABC's: , because they weren't language capeable until the Neanderthals came along and even then they really didnt know much language.
For Example:

Lucy:













Lucy is an Australopithicines. She lived 3.5 million years ago. She walked upright and she had opposable thumbs. She was also a Homind.
If Lucy and her species never lived would we be able to walk upright? I don't think we would be able to because we have come from those species so if they didn't walk upright then most likely we wouldn't. I wonder if Lucy was the first creature to stand upright because she was the oldest Homind that anybody has ever found. I think she is very important in history because we have learned a lot about the time and what hominds were like back 3.5 million years ago.
Opposable Thumbs:
Homo Habilis:


Homo Habilis are also known as Handy Man becuase they were the first tool maker. They came up with unifacial tool which is a one sided tool. Their brain size is the same as a modern two year old! They appeared 2 million years ago.
With out the Homo Habilis would we have any tools to build our houses? Im guessing we wouldnt be able to have any house to live in. I think that the Homo Habilis time was very important even though their brain size was the same size as a modern two year old because they were the first tool makers which then made it easier to hunt and get food.
xample of their Brain: The first tool:


Example of two year old brain:


Homo Erectus:
The Homo Erectus did not carry around spears.

Homo Erectus was the first to migrate from Africa. They appeared 1.5 million years ago. They Domesicated Fire and they were the first to make clothing, we know this becuase of Ethnographic Analogy which is the comparing of two cultures. The homo erectus came up with the bi-facial tool which is a two sided tool, and they may even be cannibals we think this because people have found hollowed out skulls with scraped marks.
With out the Homo Erectus species who knows what we would be like today because they are the ones that made our clothing which is a very important part of us because clothing tells who you are. I think that when Homo Erectus lived it was a very important time even though it was just a small spec in time becuase they are the ones that made clothing and they domesicated fire.

Neanderthals:


Neanderthals appeared 200,00- 300,00 years ago. They used advanced tools and buried their dead. They cared for one another which is called Altruism. They were very like us meaning they were language capable.
With out the Neanderthals we wouldn't be very far in life, becuase they cared for one another and caring for one another is what can save you they also were the ones that started knowing language and with out being able to talk where would we be!? I wonder how they go from being cannibals (Homo Erectus) to caring for one another. I also wonder if they might even be cannibals we jsut don't know it. I think they are very important becuase they came up with and used advanced tools.

Cro- Magnon:


Cro- Magnons were like homo sapiens who lived in Europe 40,00 years ago, they took over Europe! They were the 1st to do Art, Jewelry, etc. They also ranked 1st in social class.
Where would we be today if there wasn't any Cro- Magnons? Well we might have gotten a little far in life but probably not much because they are the ones that ranked 1st in social class, and where would we be with out the arts!? I think Cro- Magnons were very important becuase they came up with art, jewelry, etc and they ranked 1st in social class. I think that when they took over Europe it was probably one of the most important parts of the Cro- Magnons becuase that is when more and more species started appearing all over.

Homo Sapiens:


Homo sapiens appeared 300,00 years ago and are still around because we are homo sapiens.
I think that the Homo sapiens are very important to this world even though they are only merely a small spec in the history. Humans are very intelligent and they are going to get more and more smarter as time goes on. They are very important to our furture.
