the first animal domesticated by humans were wolves. we had a mutual beneficial relationship. we had tools and brains and they had speed and instincts. the next animals were sheep, pigs, cows and goats. its not known when cats were domesticated but they act like their wide counterparts the most. horses were one of the most important animals we had. we also domesticated donkeys, camels, silk moths, elephants,pigeons and honey bees. the last animal to be domesticated was the rabbit.
ReplyDeleteI read the article about modern mans migration into Africa and our conquering of the Neanderthal race shortly after. we can theorize that our first European ancestors migrated here from the fertile crescent between the Tigris AND Euphrates rivers, around modern day Baghdad. the aurignacian people are supposedly the first to travel into Europe over 50,000 years ago due to distinct stone tools we have found in areas we know they settled in. a while after that another culture made their home around eastern Europe about 33,000 years ago these people are known as the gravettian people. they pioneered many ways of making new tools, sculptures and other cultural inventions. with these improved survival techniques it was easy for these new groups of humans to dominate the continent of Europe.
ReplyDeleteHomo Sapiens Arrive In Europe: Marissa Johnson
ReplyDeleteScientists have traced back our earliest ancestors 50,000 years to a location on the Pakistani Gulf. It was not until the ice age, and a land bridge was formed, that these people were not able to easily move into Europe. These early ancestors came from the Aurignacian culture who were most known for their development of tools. The next culture that developed was that of the Gravettian culture which developed quickly due to the earths changing climate. Many climate changes started affecting man; the last major one being the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which resulted in different refuge areas being established around the globe.
The First Settlement in Oman: In this article, it talk about where and when the first settlement was made. It was believed to be made about 125,000 years ago in Oman. It was made so the tribe didn't have to keep moving everyday, and they could just settle down, and that could be there permanent home. This helped them because once there shelter was up, it was able to protect them from neighboring tribes trying to take land, or big animals looking for food. There were many disadvantages as well to the situation. Building these shelters, most likely took lots of man power, and time. So in the meantime while they were building it, they still had to sleep just kind of on the ground and any where around them that they could find to sleep. We also developed new skills to go along with building shelter. These included fishing, plant processing, primitive seafaring, along with art and some sort of religious. practice. Once they finally did settle down, they started to adapt to the new environment in which they live in. This led to settling in more pl;aces after this, and developed more to the point that we are at today.
ReplyDeleteHistory of Domestication of Animals: In this article the author discusses information regarding hunting of animals 20,000-10,000 years ago.Specifically it all begins with a long time ago both humans and wolves were hunting for the same prey, large mammals.Starting around 9000-7000 B.C is when humans began domesticating animals for food.This includes sheep,goats, cattles, and pigs.Soon after animals were not only used for food, but also were put to work. One example of this would be Ox who were put to work on fields and farms dragging things, pulling wagons etc. The next things to evolve were dogs, cats, horses , camels, poultry and pigeons, elephants, bees , and eventually rabbits. This article explains how animals have evolved over time and are a important part of life today because they are vital to survival for those around them such as humans.
ReplyDeleteMy webpage is about what happen between 3200 B.c and through the 20th century. it explains what happen between those years. for example it says that in 1600 B.c had the longest consistent civilization in the human story so far is that of china. It mostly talks about he most important points at the time and how it impacted the human race.
ReplyDeleteHomo Sapiens arrive in Europe:
ReplyDeleteHuman genes date all the way back to 50,000 years ago, where our first European ancestors walked the earth. Sometime between 65,000 and 55,000 years ago, the world descended into a major Ice Age that wiped out many species. Later on, about 51,000 years ago, a warm and wet period lasting nearly 5,000 years provided a suitable climate for population growth and migration. The Aurignacian culture, who were characterized by their distinct style of stone tools, first appeared in Europe (Bulgaria) about 50,000 years ago. Another group of homo sapiens, the Gravettian culture, emerged in Europe around 33,000 years ago, although the Aurignacian culture still dominated the continent. Another Ice Age occurred about 18,000 years ago and greatly affected these modern humans in Europe, but our species eventually bounced back yet again. Neolithic haplogroups arrived in several waves over time and are found predominantly on the Mediterranean coast. Around 20% of our current population are from these Neolithic haplogroups, and their agricultural methods were spread to modern day humans.
Early Civilizations-
ReplyDeleteIn this article, the author described that to build a civilization, you need the existence of settlements which provide food production big enough for a large portion of the community to be occupied in activities such as making buildings and art. The development of writing enhances a civilization and interconnections such as archeology and documents show history, civilization, and writing all began at the same time. As well as writing rivers also offer two advantages to a developing civilization. These two advantages include providing water for irrigating fields, and an easy way for transportation in a community without paved roads. For example, in 2000 BC, the Aegean civilization by the Aegean Sea has the ideal area for trading and piracy due to its location of islands strung together across this sea. In the 16th century, the first contact between America and Europe opened the doors for world wide civilizations which allowed these cultures to spread the English language to India, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and many parts of Africa.
Homo Sapiens arrive in Europe: The first species of early man to ever leave the Africa Continent were homo Erectus about 2 million years ago. Eventually they colonized the Middle east, southern Russia, India, the far east and southeast Asia. But scientists believe that modern man evolved from a later species that originated in Africa about 150000 years ago and these later ancestors arrived in Europe about 100000 years ago when the water levels were low so they could cross easily. And Homo sapiens arrived about 40000 years ago.

ReplyDeleteFirst Human Settlement in Oman:125,000 Years ago the first human settlement began in Oman. Humans up until this point were nomadic people who followed herds of animals, so the establishment of a permanent settlement marked the start of advancing as a species. It is unknown why they chose Oman, leading theories suggest they settled there due to worsening conditions in Africa or better conditions in Oman. In Arabia there are two westerlies and the Indian Monsoons system. Around this time Arabia was in a wet period, when it was wet rather than dry and hostile.
ReplyDeleteOur history of civilization spans from our current day until around 3100 B.C. where the first communities of Mesopotamia arose in Egypt. From 2000 until the early A.D. years, the Indus, Chinese, Native Americans and groups of the Mediterranean sea begin to form Regional societies that traded with one another and created language. These societies create sophisticated unique technology's for to outshine one another and boast successes others couldn't achieve.
ReplyDeleteHumans and hunters were competing over larger prey for many years. Larger prey included Wooly Mammoth and Bison. Since they were both competing for the same thing a partnership was formed. This partnership helped lead to domesticated dogs. The first domesticated dogs were believed to be around 12000 years ago. The first domesticated animals that were created as a source of food were sheep. There is a large about of first year sheep bones in North Iraq. After this goats would begin to become domesticated. The first reason to herd animals was to create a supply of meat. Cattle also acted as a way for Farmers to work easier. Cats are the only domesticated animal besides dogs to live indoors. It is difficult to control their breeding so they remain similar to other cats.Horses allowed for man to get around so much easier so they could expand and go to new places. Beekeeping was used to replace robbing behives. -Levi Michaelis
ReplyDeleteearly settlement in Europe: They say that the human gene tree origin in Europe was 50,000 years ago. there was an ice age between 65,000-55,000 years ago. It started to warm up 51,000 years ago. Evidence suggests that these people moved up the Danube to Hungary then west to Austria. Around 33,000 years ago the big game hunters of the Don River, north of the Black Sea in the Ukraine, developed what archaeologists call the Gravettian culture, characterized by new technology for survival in the frigid north. Sea levels during the LGM were approximately 125m lower than today, and the coastline differed proportionately. 14,500 years ago the ice retreated again and the land became much more hospitable to life and at 13,500 years ago it was at least as warm and humid as our modern climate. This warm period was followed by a severe freeze known as the Younger Dryas which lasted from about 12,800 to 11,500 years ago.

ReplyDeleteHistory of Domestication of Animals
With the most recent ice age, which was about 20,000 years ago, there brought a commonality between humanoids and wolves. They had similar qualities with the way they interacted in life.Both lived in family packs, and hunted large mammals to name a few. Since their ways of life were so similar, and humans were good at nurturing cubs the domestication of wolves into dogs began. With evidence from 12,000 years ago showing that humans began to selectively breed wolves which then became dogs. Between 9,000 and 7,000 years ago people began domesticating animals such as sheep and goats as a source of food , meat that would not go bad so quickly not long after 7,000 years they began domesticating cattle and pigs as well for a source of food. At around 4,000 years ago humans began domesticating animals for agricultural purposes, they began domesticating oxs and buffalo and used them to harvest crops in the early years of civilization. Humans were then looking to domesticate cats as pest control animals , which proved difficult as they found it was hard to control the breeding of cats , meaning they were much like the animals they were domesticated from. At the same time humans began domesticating horses as a way to increase the speed at which humans can travel. Then humans began domesticating silk moths for their silk around 2,000 years ago. Then honey bees at the same time, making it easier to access honey. Lastly came the domestication of rabbits for their meat around 1st century BC.
