AUSTRALOPITEKUS

Creature that looks like monkey more than a human but the way it is walking and by construction of his hand it was remaining of man.They showed up on Earth over 3 500 000 years ago. Their habitat was Eastern Africa.They were walking on two legs.They were good in climbing the trees even if their hands was not fit for climbing.They were able to make weapons according to some anropologist but there is no hard evidence about it.




Man is making a first weapon

Over 2 000 000 years ago in Africa a first real human showed up.He was steal little different from us.He was a little higher from us an had a smaller brain, but he was steal walking on two legs and and had a lot of hear all over his body.The conversation was made by hands and moves.The thing that made him a man was his art of making weapon.Today his name is "HOMO HABILLIS" on Latin.His weapon was simple rock that was sharpened from two sides and he made them by smashing one rock to another.The making of first weapon is a sigh of beginning of older Rock Age.With this cinde of weapon man could of open a cocoas or turtles shield, to open a shell or something else but he could not kill a big animal.Because of that he usually feed him self with nature products.He was always at move looking for a shelter. In a case of storm he was moving to nature shelters. This man also used fire for worming up or to get large predators away.He was moving in pacts with 15 to 20 members. The leader was the strongest male!



Man lights the first Fire

A few years ago an African man wondered in search for food. He was stretching up so he could see further and thanks to this we are today normally walking on two legs. Because of his stretching he got the name "Homo erectus".
The homoerectus made wooden spears and using it he become a first real hunter because he was hunting real animals. But his great invention is Fire.Thanks to it he now learned to toast food and that made his life longer.Fire also helped him survive in cold places.His archaeologist remaining were found in Asia on the island Jawa. His remaining are over 1 600 000 years old.



Reasonable man talks

Over 300 000 years ago in all parts of Earth except America and Australia, lived a man who learned to talk.His name is "Homosapiens".By physical abilities he was no different from us he only had a smaller brain.They were extraordinary hunters and they used stone axe and stone spear. They lived in caves because their temperature was the same at winter and in summer.They did not went in to deeps because they were dark and very cold.
They lived in families and they were first to do something like that.they died over 40 000 or 30 000 years ago.It is possible that they did not menage to adapt to a new cold age.
