On National Teacher Day, meet the 2024-25 Kenan Fellows
Early human and great migration
1. Warm Up
You were just
stranded on a
deserted island.
What would be
five items that
you would bring?
Why?
2. Prehistory is the time before written records were
kept. Since people didn’t write down their history we
have to do our best to figure out what happened.
3. 3 Million Years Ago…Early Humans
It was during this time that the higher
primates, including apes and early man, first
appeared.
• There was a difference between apes and
man. Early human-like hominids could stand
upright. Apes could not.
•Hominids are humans and
other creatures that walk
upright on two feet.
4. Paleolithic= Old Stone Age. This
era was called the stone age
because early man used stone to
make his tools and weapons.
These clans got their food by hunting and
gathering. Once the food supply ran out
they would move to a different area.

14. Modern Human Beings
Appeared in Africa between 150,000-200,000 years ago
Began to migrate outside of Africa 100,000 years ago.
By 10,000 B.C. Homo Sapiens could be found throughout the world due to migration.
During the last ice
age between
100,000 B.C. and
8000 B.C. the
water level in the
oceans dropped
revealing a land
bridge connecting
Asia and North
America
Homo-sapiens
20. How DID they create the images?
• Using bone, sticks,
brushes made with
animal hair,
hand/fingers and
sharpened rock
• Paints came form the
earth- crushed and
mixed together
• Dark caves were lit with
torches
21. What did the artists paint?
• Why did they
paint and carve on
the walls?
• Do you think they
lived in the caves?
• What evidence of
human life do we
see in the caves?
