I think that man wanted to be predator, not prey, so they evolved to be top of the food chain

I think climate change and the ice ages both played a large part in making humans evolve the way that they did.

"Evolution occurs when there is change in the genetic material -- the chemical molecule, DNA -- which is inherited from the parents, and especially in the proportions of different genes in a population."

Evolution is caused by trying to adapt to your surroundings and needs, and we evolved because we were trying to adapt to the wilderness.

The change in climate and where the food went were some factors that caused man to evolve.*******

"Evolution does not change any single individual. Instead, it changes the inherited means of growth and development that typify a population."

Ancient Man evolved as it did by adapting to their surroundings and the Ice Ages because they had to develop better ways to survive. *

According to the Smithsonian, "Evolution occurs when there is change in the genetic material -- the chemical molecule, DNA -- which is inherited from the parents, and especially in the proportions of different genes in a population. Genes represent the segments of DNA that provide the chemical code for producing proteins. Information contained in the DNA can change by a process known as mutation. The way particular genes are expressed – that is, how they influence the body or behavior of an organism -- can also change. Genes affect how the body and behavior of an organism develop during its life, and this is why genetically inherited characteristics can influence the likelihood of an organism’s survival and reproduction."

i think needing food, and famine, caused humans to settle and start agriculture.

"The process of evolution involves a series of natural changes that cause species (populations of different organisms) to arise, adapt to the environment, and become extinct. All species or organisms have originated through the process of biological evolution. In animals that reproduce sexually, including humans, the term species refers to a group whose adult members regularly interbreed, resulting in fertile offspring -- that is, offspring themselves capable of reproducing. Scientists classify each species with a unique, two-part scientific name. In this system, modern humans are classified as Homo sapiens."

We had to evolve to survive since if we kept hunting and gathering we would be instinct because the animals would evolve to defend against humans so we would be left in the dust.*

As the ages went along, we got taller, smarter and more efficient with using our bodies. We got better at using our environment and we kept discovering and learning new things.

In the Paleolithic age, ancient man had to adapt to their surroundings in order to follow after the food they need. If one source of food ran out, they need to find another source of food.*

Ancient man evolved as he did because they were trying to adapt to their surroundings.

Ancient man began having newer features which also caused their lifestyle to change.

Ancient man evolved due to their surroundings, time, and other people. *****

****Man had to adapt to their surroundings and use resources. They also traded food for their needs.****

The process of evolution involves a series of natural changes that caused species to adapt to the environment around them.  As humans evolved, their physical features changed, and they developed more skills. *

Ancient man changed to survive. They evolved to adapt to the weather and the animals around them. They had to evolve to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
Ancient man evolved as he did to adapt to their surrounding. For example, ancient hominids hunted and gathered. To hunt, they needed their weapons. They needed to hold them while they hunted, so they started using two legs. In that way, they became bipedal.

Ancient man must have evolved because there must have been a problem with the environment, like a shortage of food, materials, and/or climate.

"Over time, genetic change can alter a species' overall way of life, such as what it eats, how it grows, and where it can live. Human evolution took place as new genetic variations in early ancestor populations favored new abilities to adapt to environmental change and so altered the human way of life."

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that caused ancient man to evolve as it did was their climate. Different climates meant different features like some stages can survive the cold climates better than other stages. So each stage had features to help each them survive the climate they lived in.*

Ancient Man had to adapt to their surroundings and evolved into a newer and better species throughout the years.*

The environment caused ancient man to evolve as he did, because if ancient man did not adapt to his environment, it's very hard for ancient man to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
The environment around them caused ancient man to evolve because if the ancient man did not get used to the atmosphere and environment around them, they would not be able to survive because they had little knowledge of the world around them.

During each stage of life, the people discovered new things such as how to control fire. Slowly the people evolved from the form of a monkey to a modern human. *

"Scientists do not all agree, however, about how these species are related or which ones simply died out. Many early human species -- certainly the majority of them – left no living descendants."

During the five stages of early man, the first is ancient man. As time passed, they discovered new abilities such as using complex tools, learning to control fire, along with learning to walk straight.

In Paleolithic times, man was lived in caves and tents and had very basic tools. They were hunter-gatherers and were nomadic. However, in the Neolithic era, man built homes man out of mud-bricks. They made more complex tools and started growing crops and domesticating animals. They stayed where they settled and created a food surplus.*

A few things I noticed that made ancient man evolve was that the climate changed and the way the animals moved.
