Describe what is known of the early physical and cultural development of
humankind from the Paleolithic era to the agricultural revolution, explaining how
the methods of archaeology contribute to the understanding. -
ANSWER✔✔Prehistory is the earliest time of human existence. Human ancestors
are believed to have developed 4-6 million years ago, yet the earliest written
records only go back about 4,500 years ago. We have this knowledge of prehistory
from anthropology and archaeology.
,Anthropology- is the scientific study of human culture and humanity.
Anthropologists study different groups and how they relate to other cultures.
Through cross-cultural and comparative research, anthropologists can find patterns
of behavior, similarities and differences. While anthropologists often study and
lean about people and cultures by living among them and observing, paleo-
anthropologists look at artifacts to understand early human culture.
Archaeology- is the scientific study of past human cultures by studying the remains
they left behind-objects such as pottery, bones, buildings, tools, and artwork.
Archaeologists locate and examine evidence to help explain the way people lived
in past times. They use special equipment and techniques to gather evidence.
Archaeologists survey sites and make detailed description of the site with notes,
maps, photographs and artifacts from the surface. Excavation is used to find
physical evidence below the surface. Evidence is preserved for eventual
classification, dating and evaluation. Sources of knowledge about early times come
from:
-Bones from burial pits
-Fossils found in rock deposits
-Artifacts, such as tools, pottery and cave paintings
-Studies of living primates
Archaeological and anthropological research tells us that the earliest humans
developed in Africa between 2 to 6 million years ago. Homo sapiens evolved from
these early humans around 2 million years ago. Some migrated first into Asia and
later into Europe. Further understanding of prehistory is helpful by classifying it
into archaeological perio
Describe and analyze the impact of human interaction with the physical
environment (e.g., climate, landforms, soils, water) on the development of the
ancient cultures of the Fertile Crescent (e.g., Sumerian, Babylonian, Hebrew),
Persia Egypt, Kush, Greece, India, China, Rome and pre-Colombian America -
,ANSWER✔✔Many of the earliest known civilizations were river-valley
civilizations and are known as fluvial civilizations. Geography and the physical
environment played a critical role in the rise and survival of both these civilization.
Rivers provided a source of water that would sustain both human and animal life.
Hunters had access to a variety of animals, initially to provide food. Parts of the
animals: hides, bones, antler could be used for clothing, tools and art. Some
animals began to be herded and husbanded to provide stable supply of food and
animal products. Rivers in these regions overflowed their banks each years, leaving
behind a deposit of very rich soil. Early people in these areas began to experiment
with growing crops rather than gathering food because of the fertile and available
water. They developed systems of irrigation that channeled water to the crops
without significant human effort on continuing basis.
Asia- One of the earliest civilization developed in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley of
Mesopotamia (mainly modern Iraq) between 4000 BCE and 3000 BCE.
Mesopotamia, located the Tigris and Euphrates, meant "land between the rivers."
Mesopotamia was bounded on the West by the Mediterranean Sea, on the South by
the Arabian Desert, on the north by the Taurus Mountains, and on the east by the
Zagros Mountains. Mesopotamia had a nickname, the "Fertile Crescent" was
applied by the famous historian and Egyptologist James Breasted to the part of the
Near East that extended from the Persian Gulf to the Saint Peninsula. East of the
Zargos Mountains, another culture developed in what would later become Iran.
This civilization was called Persia or the Achaemenid Empire. The Caspian Sea
was to the north and the Persian Gulf to the South. It was also a fertile land. The
many tribes of Persia were semi-nomadic and may have h

, Describe and analyze the foundations of western political and philosophical
thought in Ancient Greek, Roman and Judeo-Christian traditions. -
ANSWER✔✔Ancient Greece is often called the "Cradle of Western Civilization"
because of its enormous influence on the Roman civilization and later all of
Western culture. Rome contributed a republican form of government that it
established in 509 BCE to limit how much power one person could have. Greece is
often called the birthplace of democracy because the Athenian form of democracy
with each citizen having an equal vote in his own government is a philosophy upon
which all modern democracies are based. This is why many U.S. government
buildings are built in the Greek architectural style. In philosophy, Aristotle
developed an approach to learning that emphasized observation and thought, and
Socrates and Plato contemplated the nature of being and the origins and ideals of
government and political relations. Judaism and Christianity are two monotheistic
religions that grew during the time of ancient civilizations. Along with Islam, these
religions promoted the worship of one god. Judeo-Christian traditions created a
powerful legacy of political and philosophical traditions, much of which survives
to this day. The Israelite's was not the first ancient civilization to have a series of
laws for its people, but their Ten Commandments were revolutionary because they
applied to everyone. Similar to the Code of Hammurabi and Rome's Twelve
Tables, the Ten Commandments provided a written record of laws, so all knew
what was prohibited.

took place between the two nations, however proxy wars were fought. The United
