Culture is a term which surrounds the social behavior and norms found in human
societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the
individuals in these groups. Anthropologists believed that there was a human evolution. Human
developed o Earth from non-extinct primates. Changes in physical aspect changes the culture.
As evolution happens, there are a lot of aspects that are affected. Like the evolution of primate
to modern man. Their behavior, lifestyle and knowledge changed that made the culture adjust.
With these changes, culture also also change depending on what kind of changes happened.
Culture go along with evolution to make a situation or living of the human.

2. When one looks at differences in current people and fossils of our past ancestors, it is
interesting to see differences in size, shape of the skull, and other humanoid features. It is also
interesting to compare other Primates with man, such as apes and orangatans. Evolution is
ongoing and natural selection weeds out the least adapted individuals, making way for the
"fittest" individuals to survive and reproduce. The study of human evolution is very important
because it touches on several aspects of human nature such as the development of cognitive
abilities, the capability to acquire and understand language, changes in human diet, changes in
the human body's defenses and much more. I think that if we do not give ourselves the chance
to analyze the process of the evolution of the human race we are depriving ourselves of very
important information that could lead us to predict how else mankind will change in the future.

3. The Oldowan exhibits the simplest methods of stone tool flaking and utilization. Certain
Oldowan artifact assemblages also show evidence of behavioral sophistication beyond simple
stone percussion. This includes repeated flaking and movement of stones in and out of sites.
Although Oldowan toolmaking may have involved access to new food items, it was the spatial
pattern of resource use--i.e., the transport of separated stones and foods to common places in
the foraging range--that signified the key innovation of the Oldowan. Percussion flaking is the
shaping of a stone implement by striking or chipping off flakes with another stone or a piece of
wood, bone, or antler. This process is essential to Oldowan industry since in this industry homo
habilis butches animals and it improved food gathering skills using the ‘hammering, digging, and
chopping implement. In order to do these, they sharpen rocks through percussion flaking. They
do this in order for them to survive life.

4. The Aurignacian culture was marked by a great diversification and specialization of


tools, including the invention of the burin, or engraving tool, that made much of the art possible.
Users of this industry used raw materials such as flint, animal bones and antlers. The method
employed in creating tools such as fine blades was similar to the one used in the Mousterian
industry. A more advanced tool making industry that made it a cultural milestone for modern
humans in Europe due to the development of self-awareness. This development was projected
through cave paintings and the fabrication of accessories such as figurines, bracelets and
beads.

5. Aurignacian industry referred to proto-culture since early humans used this. This was
defined by several revolutionary advancements in technology such as the creation of microliths
from flint, bone, antler and ivory. Humans during this period were engrossed in creating
figurines, personal adornments and other forms of mobiliary art. They continued and developed
the materials used on the previous industry.
6. Paleolithic art has small and limited to personal ornaments. Bigger artworks were done
but not within along time frame. Paleolithic art usually is classified as either figurative that is,
depicting animals or humans, or nonfigurative, taking the form of signs and symbols. The
portable art of the Paleolithic period was carved out of bone, antler, or stone, or modeled in clay.
They consist of carefully worked small flint figurines of people, animals and birds, which are
schematic and stylized and were probably used as amulets.

Neolithic art included the creation of artworks that required a longer length of time and a
greater number of people. Neolithic art was primarily composed of pottery and architecture. By
the Neolithic age the advances in technology such as farming, weaving, the advent of pottery
and the construction of monumental structures such as Stonehenge, indicate that humankind
begin to settle and develop their land. Neolithic people created wooden figurines of people and
animals along with pottery decorated with triangles, spirals, wavy lines, and other geometric
forms on its rough or polished surfaces.

7. The people used microlithic blades in addition to tools made of polished stones. They
used stone hoes and digging sticks for digging the ground. The ring stones of 1-1/2 kg of weight
were fixed at the ends of these digging sticks. They also used tools and weapons made of bone;
found in Burzahom (Kashmir) and Chirand (Bihar). During Neolithic, they used a wider array of
small and bigger tools due to sedentary lifestyle.

8. Early farmers could settle down to a steady food supply. Irrigation, the ability to clear
large swaths of land for farming efficiently, and the development of farm machines powered by
fossil fuels allowed people to grow more food and transport it to where it was needed.
Agriculture may also increase the rate of survivability since most of the crops, fruits, vegetables
and others came from agriculture.
