WHAT’S NEW?
Activity 1: COMPARISON CHART!
Direction: Describe and summarize the changes took place during broad spectrum revolution.
Compare how early human carried out their lives in the lithic or stone-age revolution.
CHARACTERISTICS PALEOLITHIC NEOLITHIC
Tool Small and handy for mobile Included a wider array of small
lifestyle and bigger tools due to
sedentary lifestyle
Personal Property Limited to personal accessories Included structures (e.g.,
and small tools that could easily house), decorative ornaments,
be carried around large containers
Arts Small and limited to personal Included the creation of artworks
ornaments, bigger artworks were that required a longer length of
done but not within a long time time and a greater number of
frame (e.g. cave paintings) people (e.g., Stonehenge
Subsistence /Economic Foraging Agriculture
Leadership Not rigid; based on age and Semirigid; based on legitimacy
knowledge (religious beliefs, social status)
Social Divisions None; communal lifestyle Elite vs. working class
Population Size Small (30-50 people) Large (in thousands)

WHAT’S MORE
Activity 2: CHECK YOU UNDERSTANDING!
Direction: Answer the following questions, be guided by the rubrics provided.

A.) How did early humans adapt to their environment?

Humans devised a variety of methods for creating irrigation, which they utilized to domesticate
plants and begin farming. With farming, people were able to control even more of their natural
surroundings, such as what plants grew where and how well those plants provided food.

B. ) What factors probably played a role in the origin of agriculture?

The growth of agriculture was aided by global warming, a plentiful supply of plant fodder such as
grain, and a constant increase in population.

C. ) How did food production fuel the rise of state?

Population increase, the development of cities and towns, trade, and other key elements of
human progress are all aided by organized and efficient food production. People have been gathering
food from the outdoors or hunting large and tiny animals for thousands of years.

WHAT I CAN DO
Activity 3: ANALYSIS CHART!
Direction: Cite the biological characteristics and cultural adaptation of the selected species of
hominins necessary in the human biocultural evolution process in the box provided.
Hominin or Significant Biological Cultural Means of
Hominid Characteristics Adaptation

Australopithecus Afarensis had both ape and human
Afarensis characteristics: members of this species
had apelike face proportions (a flat nose,
a strongly projecting lower jaw) and
braincase (with a small brain, usually
less than 500 cubic centimeters -- about
1/3 the size of a modern human brain),
and long, strong arms with curved
fingers adapted for climbing trees.
Homo habilis This species, one of the earliest
members of the genus Homo, has a
slightly larger braincase and smaller
face and teeth than in Australopithecus
or older hominin species. But it still
retains some ape-like features, including
long arms and a moderately-prognathic
face.
This species probably used
simple tools that may have
included sticks and other non-
durable plant materials found in
the immediate surroundings.
This species occupied a range of
environments. Some populations
lived in savannah or sparse
woodland; others lived in denser
forests beside lakes.
Homo habilis may have been the
first of our ancestors to make
stone tools. They lived in a
predominantly grassland
environment.

Homo erectus This species had a robust skeleton that
was generally similar to those of modern
humans.
The body (known only from the Chinese
specimens) tended to be shorter and
stockier than those of modern humans.
Structure of the brain was similar to that
of modern humans.
The oldest known stone tools
used by Homo erectus were
made in China about one million
years ago technology These
tools were simple choppers and
flakes.

Homo sapiens Neanderthals are recognizably human Neanderthals had a complex

Neanderthalensis but have distinctive facial features and a
stocky build that were evolutionary
adaptations to cold, dry environments.
Neanderthals were generally shorter and
had more robust skeletons and muscular
bodies than modern humans.
culture although they did not
behave in the same ways as the
early modern humans who lived
at the same time.
The Neanderthals built hearths
and were able to control fire for
warmth, cooking and protection.
They were known to wear animal
hides, especially in cooler areas.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES!
Activity 4: CIVILIZATION UNLOCK!
Direction: Differentiate and explain the features of a civilization before and now.
FEATURES OF CIVILIZATION
1.) Cities and Government
2.) Jobs and Technology
3.) Social Classes and Religion
4.) Writing and Record Keeping
BEFORE
The Philippines was ruled
under the Mexico-based
Viceroyalty of New Spain. After
this, the colony was directly
governed by Spain. Spanish
rule ended in 1898 with
Spain's defeat in the Spanish–
American War. The Philippines
then became a territory of the
United States.
Individual's lives were difficult
and fair, to say the least - there
were many people outside
their homes when technology
was still being developed.
Back then, there were fewer
opportunities and less
standards.
In most early civilizations,
there were just a few faiths,
and the basic socioeconomic
classes were rulers and
priests, merchants, farmers,
skilled laborers, and slaves.
The linguistic writing in the
Philippines — grammars and
vocabularies – is wide and
comprehensive. In the
Philippines, a pre-Hispanic
writing system called baybayin
was utilized for intimate
NOW
The philippines is now
a republic with a presidential
form of government wherein
power is equally divided
among its three branches
Life has become more easier
as a result of the widespread
use of technology such as
computers and gadgets,
which has resulted in
individuals rarely leaving their
homes. There are more
standards for joining a job
nowadays, but they are
easier to meet, and there are
many devices available to
help make the task easier.
In today's world, there are
numerous religions and
beliefs. Upper Class - Elite,
Upper Middle Class, Lower
Middle Class, Working Class,
and Poor are the several
social classes that exist
today.
Because of technology and
computers, keeping records
has become much easier.
Nowadays, only a few
Filipinos utilize baybayin as a
writing technique, and
schools prefer to adopt the
