Hobbits

Who were the hobbits?
Hobbits were Early Hominids that were about the size of a 4 year old today. There have been two different dates that they were dated to the first is about 12,000 years ago, the second was from about 18,000 to 12,000 years ago. These Early Humans were Bipedal, stone tool makers and also believed to be fire tamers. They were very simulare to "Lucy's type of humans" but Hobbits had more evolved brains, they also had much less body hair, which meant they could run longer distances, because of the ability to sweat.

Language and Tools

Why were tool-making and language important for the development of human culture?
Provide examples to explain and support your thinking
This is why Language and tools are important
  • First Tools Helped them hunt, Warmth, Lifestyle, Jewelry and Art
  • Language helped them communicate, socialize, plans for hunting, how to make tools, And Paintings.
Tools Help Early Humans Live it helped the Early humans survive becasue then they were not on the top of the food chain like we are today, so they had to have some sort of way to keep predators away. It also helped them gather food and also cook it. It helped them look attractive to the opposite gender. And it also helped them come into science/humanities books today.

Language was important for many reasons most of them were to share the abilities to make tools, but there was also storytelling/Socialize, It helped Early humans devise hunting tactics and also paintings.

Our own two feet

Why did early humans begin to walk on two feet?
The reasons that Humans began walk on two feet were:
  1. To be able to carry more food, to seem attractive to the females in order to mate
  2. To be able to use more tools
  3. To be able to pass the savannas
  4. To run faster in order to hunt better
Some of these theories were disproved, but we now still do not know the reason that humans started to walk upright on two feet.
