This presentation takes you forty thousand years into the past when the era of modern humans began. You will learn what we ate at the beginning of our existence and other interesting information, too.

1)Deer, fish, pig, cow, goat, and sheep.
2)Berries, nuts, grains, plants, and some roots
3)The way they got food was they domesticated animals and they planted plants. (2)

Fire

• How they made fire was they rubbed rocks together, and by rubbing wood together (but they needed tinder, such as grass, etc.). (3)

Homo Sapien, Sapiens used these tools:
• Spears, bows, and arrows.
• Traps for larger animals, and they tamed wolves for hunting.
• Fish traps, and dams to catch fish.
• Axes, boats, and pigment for paint
• Stones for making fire and paint. (4)
