What do the Artifacts tell us about Early Humans.

     

    Some of the Artifacts of Early Humans tell us that they had very small brains. Their brain would be about one third of our brain. So if they had small brains they would have very basic tools, like sharp carved stone, to skin or cut food.

     They also used stone to cut some wood for weapons and if they had weapons they probably had to go hunt and not go to the super market. After a million years or so their brain started to adapt or grow bigger so they would have had more adapted weapons to hunt like the spear thrower. The spear thrower would have helped them to throw the spear farther and stronger than just with your hands.

After about another million years later, their brain started to be as big as ours so they could use 100% of their brain to make even more complex artifacts like shells and beads to decorate. In their caves they spent their time carving little statues like a face of a women made out of smooth and polished mammoth tusk. On the walls of the caves there were also paintings and those paintings showed different animals like horses, buffalo, deer and handprints. These paintings probably meant that the Early Humans honored animals.

These were some of the ways Early Humans evolved into being us, modern humans.
