Homo sapiens diverged from chimpanzees and became bipedal, which meant more possible advantages such as better viewing point (could spot enemies or even food from miles away), ability for faster mobility, ability to grip and hold things in their hands and much more.

The Most Invasive Species Notes

Paleolithic Societies

believed to have monotheistic beliefs

similar to other groups they had rules and structures. although no higher power existed many leaders rose up to help in organizing tasks for hunting or even times to figure out who would hunt or gather and where in specific

higher egalitarian societies, no true higher power everyone in the groups often possesed the same skills women put in more effort to support the family at times by playing the role of the gatherer while the men the hunters (women provides 70% of food while men only provided 30)

A hunter-gathering lifestyle before farming

since many who lived like this could not carry a lot their trading was based on the meats or material they ONLY obtained from animals.

majority of those who lived like this were unable to produce surpluses of food and were restrained to only be able carry around necessities

many of these life styles were lived by Paleolithic societies and were all understood in terms of kinship

meant more migrating over stability and settlements

Beginning of evolution

homo erectus began to migrate out of Africa allowing the species to adapt to new environments and find new sources of food they had never seen before

Chumash vs. San Ju/'hoansi

Chumash of southern California- lived in richer environments, discovered various new things such as deep-sea fishing, Tomols (planked canoes), had much more stability in their civilization with permanent housing, they had also developed a market economy, and finally they had also formed a permanent hereditary

San of southern Africa- they are part of the Khoisan language people who inhabited southern African a couple years back, the San still practiced ancient life,had developed poisoned arrows, leather garments for carrying, used over 23 tools, still followed basic hunter-gatherer lives as where men hunt and women gather, they lived in a society that was much mobile and equal, due to their source of food they had less but still more frequent moves to other areas unlike some societies at the time. They did not rule under any formal power.

when farming was discovered and practiced by many as time went on

surpluses of food were able to occur, allowing for possible permanent dwellings able

many large animals would become extinct or even simply migrate further away

Main topic

had to begin settling near water and adapt to new practices such as farming/ agriculture in order to survive
