When did this hominid group live? Include the span of years.

soohoo_kai — 2015-09-21 00:07:56 UTC

The earliest Homo Sapiens Sapiens fossils were discovered in Florisbad, Omo-Kibish, Ngaloba and Herto, which dated back to about 200,000 years ago. In a dramatic climate change, 200,000 years ago, in Africa, they evolved from the Homo Heidelbergensis. The span of their existence is about 200,000 years ago to now.

Where did hominid group live?

The Homo Sapiens Sapiens group lived mostly in Eastern Africa because most fossils of Homo Sapiens Sapiens were found in Africa, but fossils were also found in other places of the world, such as Europe.

What capabilities did this hominid group have?

i.What tools did they develop/use? Their tools were more complex than Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis because they had larger brains. Examples of their tools are flakes, scrapers, and points. They used stones, antlers, and bones as materials. They attached blades to bones, stone, or antlers to create different tools. They made tools for sculpting and engraving, and made needles to sew animal skins together. They also used fire, in things like, hearths, kilns, and pits to provide warmth in cold environments or for other uses.

ii. What was their diet like/how did they eat? They were omnivores, they ate both meat and plants, they were hunter-and-gatherers, but around 11,000 years ago they started to domesticate plants and animals for their food, but still had wild plants as a big part of their diet.

iii.Did they travel? Why? How? They traveled to Southern Central Asia and the Middle East about 70,000 or 60,000 years ago because the last Ice Age was making the climate cool suddenly which made the population drop down to around 10,000. They traveled there by land bridges which had formed because giant ice sheets absorbed Earth’s moisture dropping the sea level by about 300 feet, exposing a land bridge connecting Asia to North and South America about 20,000 years ago.

How did these capabilities improve their lives?

The fire they used helped them survive the last ice age, which killed many of them. They also used scrapers to get meat off of dead animals. When they made cave art, it was to teach their children lessons. Their complex tools helped them fight off wild animals. The land bridge helped them escape the extreme cold climate. Their capabilities helped them survive difficult times.
