Early Humans

key notes:

Who Were Early Humans?

• Early humans lived a very long time ago, before there were cities, farms, or technology.
• They are sometimes called “cavemen” because they lived in caves or simple shelters.

Where Did They Live?

• Early humans lived in forests, caves, or open grasslands.
• They chose places near rivers or water sources for drinking and finding food.

How Did They Survive?

• Early humans hunted animals and gathered fruits, nuts, and roots to eat.
• They made tools from stones, bones, and sticks to help with hunting and cooking.

Fire: A Big Discovery

• Early humans discovered fire, which kept them warm, scared away wild animals, and helped them cook food.
• Fire made their lives safer and more comfortable.

Clothing and Shelter

• Early humans wore clothes made from animal skins to protect themselves from cold and rain.
• They used stones, branches, and leaves to build simple shelters.

Communication

• Early humans could not write or read. They used sounds, gestures, and cave paintings to share ideas.
• They painted pictures of animals and their daily life on cave walls.

Why Are They Important?

• Early humans teach us how people started to live and survive.
• Their discoveries, like tools and fire, helped humans grow and learn.
