Early Humans - The Ultimate Survivor

Last week in Grade 6 Humanities we began our Early Humans Social Studies unit. I am sure that your are enjoying watching the video "Ultimate Survivors" just as much as Mrs. Reiser and I am.

It's amazing to think that there were so many different species of Early Humans, ranging in size from 7 feet tall to less than 4 feet tall!

We really are lucky that fire was discovered and that Homo Robustus began cooking the meat that he had hunted. Chewing for 5 hours would take up most of the day.

One of the "Essential Questions" for Grade 6, Early Humans unit is :-
"How does the past affect the present and the future".

Can you explain how Early Man has affected our lives today?
