the existence and behaviors

For our second unit we explored how anthropology helps us answer our second big question:  “why are we the sole surviving hominins remaining on the planet?” Based on our assign readings, your independent readings, and our class sessions, develop your answer to our central question.

We have far more details and evidence than you can fit into a single essay as short as ours.

Therefore, it is up to you to select what you feel are the most compelling ideas and evidence from the past few weeks. You could follow this outline : YOU SHOULD USE ALL THE READINGS UPLOADED AND CITE THEM Outline ·

Often, archaeology provides the only means to learn of the existence and behaviors of people of the past. Across the millennia many thousands of cultures and societies. Billions of people have come and gone of which there is little. No written record or existing records are misrepresentative or incomplete.

Writing as it is known today did not exist in human civilization until the 4th millennium BC.

In a relatively small number of technologically advanced civilizations. In contrast, Homo sapiens has existed for at least 200,000 years. And other species of Homo for millions of years (see Human evolution). These civilizations are, not coincidentally, the best-known.

They are open to the inquiry of historians for centuries. While the study of pre-historic cultures has arisen only recently. Even within a literate civilization many events and important human practices are not officially record. Any knowledge of the early years of human civilization – the development of agriculture. Cult practices of folk religion, the rise of the first cities – must come from archaeology.
