How I will remember this Layers = many on top of another dress
for winter, overlappingLAY = one on top of anotherDating = date=

Page 56 Why was cooperation important?To gather food To hunt for
food To care for the sickTo build shelterTo make toolsTo make
clothingPages 58-60 Between 12,000 and 100,000The earliest African
bands spread to Asia, Europe, Australia, and finally the
Americas.
How did they reach Australia? They used log rafts and traveled
over the water.
How did they reach North America? They migrated over a land
bridge that crossed the Bering Strait. They traveled from Siberia
in Russia to Alaska.Early Cultures varied because of climate and
natural resources:Clothing food shelter tools
Early cultures varied because of unique individuals: each had
their own ideas
different solutions to problems
met their needs in different ways
Climate changes clothing, foodLanguage allowed stories to be
passedContact with others
Cultures Changed:Pass on customs beliefs, food, clothingWarn of
dangerCooperateShare new ideasCreate rules
How did language help early people develop their own culture?How
do people in our society cooperate?
