LESSON 1
Early humans are curious about their
nature, they start to observed and
record patterns of what was happening
with their experience, they were able to
analyze and organize information.

A- Dawn of the first civilization
(primitive)

this era, there was no historical
evidences of how people lived
because written records was dated
at about 5000 bc.

B- Pre Historic Times (3000-5000 Bc)
 Mans achievements are
categorize as

and observation of new
objects)
 B- Inventions (mans
discoveries and
observations are put
together to produce new
ways of tools.
C- Stone Age

stone was widely used to make
tools this era is divided into 3
separate periods.
 Paleolithic (Early)
