The Stone Age
The Stone Age shaped, developed and formed our modern day form of living.
There are numerous facts and events that have occurred throughout time that are
evidence of this.
"The Stone Age began as far back as two million years ago in some
places" (www.bergen.org, April, 1997). This was when neanderthals were
roaming the world using primitive weapons to hunt animals as well as searching
for other sources of food. Since that time the ways of living and even the shape of
man have evolved greatly into their modern form. The men of those times
were hunter-gatherers and used, in some cases only one tool for numerous jobs.
Today we have many varieties of tools that any man has access to just for doing …show more content…
In the sense that we still have many
farmers and hunters that roam the wild for food so that they can get cash in
return. The Stone Age was also where farming began which was very
important then and now. Many countries rely on their crops to supply them
with either food or money. Settlements began to take place during this time
which have a great impact on how we live today. Settlements are all over the
world in different shapes, sizes and with different cultures and people within.
These are some of the reasons why the Stone Age has shaped and developed our
modern day form of living.
Farming was a very important part of life in the Stone Age. "The
world's first farmers lived in Abu Hureyra" (Rowley-Conwy, 1993, p. 27). Abu
Hureyra is located near Mesopotamia on the Euphrates River and farming
began between 9000 BC and 7000 BC. Farming is and was a very important
source of food and income for the ancient civilizations. Farming, with
technology advanced greatly. With these advancements in farming equipment it has
made modern day farming easier and we are now able to finish relatively …show more content…
Settlements
have helped many cultures develop ways of making money. When one group of
people start making money it drives other people to make money and they later
feed off of each other until they become fairly wealthy. We have developed greatly
from settlements because it has helped us mature economically. We now have a
good sense of how to make money off of things made within settlements. Because of
the Stone Age and their settlements we now have a very organized way of living.
The Stone Age shaped and developed our modern day form of living. The
people of the Stone Age had a great impact on the ways that we lived. Those four
main ways are listed above. The Stone Age lasted about two million years ago in
some places and because of the vast time span it took-up, it was divided into three
periods which are the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic eras. Some of which
lasted longer than others. If the era which we are in now could last that long we still
could not develop such things as farming, settlements and tools. However if it did
last that long the tools, farming equipment and settlements would be much
