Chapter 1

Key Concept 1.1 Big Geography and the Peopling of the Earth

2-19

I. Archeological evidence indicates that during the Paleolithic era, hunting foraging bands of humans gradually migrated from their origin in East Africa to Eurasia, Australia and the Americas, adapting their technology and cultures to new climate regions.

2-12

8-9

B. Humans developed a wider range of tools specially adapted to different environments from tropics to tundra.

8-12
