Evolution of Hominids(animals that walk on two feet) • Australopithecines (4 million years ago) • Earliest hominid (that we know of) • Opposable thumbs • Ex: Lucy (1974), possibly part of a family unit • Homo habilis (2.5 million years ago) • “Skilled Man” • Creation of simple tools for survival • Homo erectus (1.6 million years ago) • “Upright Man” • More technology (FIRE!) • Simple language

  4. Where did we come from? Homo erectus • Neanderthals (200,000 years ago) • “Cavemen” • First to have funeral burials • Beat out by CroMagnons? • CroMagnons (40,000-10,000 years ago) • Big brains • Advanced tools • Skilled hunters • Homo sapiens (What we are) • “Wise Men” • Developed from Homo erectus? • Increased technology • Advanced language ?
