00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:27,989
This period began when the first hominids appeared in Africa. They made fire by small sculptures,

4
00:00:27,989 --> 00:00:36,829
banging stones together or twisting a stick in a hole in a tree trunk. The first hominids

5
00:00:36,829 --> 00:00:45,250
learned how to distinguish edible and non-edible fruits and vegetables. The

6
00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:51,429
first tools were made by carving stones that meant banging one stone against

7
00:00:51,429 --> 00:01:01,810
another to give it the correct shape. 2. Lifestyle and Culture. The first hominids

8
00:01:01,810 --> 00:01:07,250
lived in tribes and they developed language and social skills. They traveled

9
00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:12,129
from place to place, they lived in caves where they left the first examples of art,

10
00:01:12,510 --> 00:01:20,530
paintings, and small sculptures. They made cave paintings using hands to paint with brushes or

11
00:01:20,530 --> 00:01:30,069
blowing through a hollow reed. They separated animal skins using carved stones and used the

12
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:36,890
skins as clothing. Thanks for listening. See you soon.
