The purpose of this project was to find out how did humans directly impact their environment? As I was researching about different countries, I found out that each country impacted their environment in different ways.
Hunters and Gathers• 12,000 years ago the
first hunters and gathers hunters appeared.
• Traditionally males were hunters and females were gathers.
• The females gathered fruits and nuts and male hunted animals such as rabbits.

discovered fire they used it to cook their food.
• They started it by banging to rocks together and make a spark.
Adapting • When the Ice Age ended
the land became warmer and Early Humans started to adapt to the environment.
• They settled in large groups called society.
Adapting to change• When the last ice age
ended climate changes affected the environment.
• To survive they had to learn to adapt to their physical environment.
• They also, saw animals and plants they never seen before.
• They also, stopped over hunting.
Agriculture Revolution • The people of
southwestern Asia began to capture sheep and goats and kept them in pens.
• Over time, these penned animals became tame and people could herd them in pastures.
Major river systems
• The earliest civilizations developed in the valleys four major river systems.
• The early people learned to grow surpluses of crop and they had to develop new agricultural techniques.

Poseidon• The Ancient Greeks had a
belief the Poseidon, the Sea God watched over the sailors and their boats when their on the sea.
Seas• When the Ancient Greece lived
near the sea, the sea provided fish and made it easier to hike mountains.
• Therefore, they started to live near the sea.
Land• Greece is mostly made
up of mountains. • Which makes it hard for
them to see the enemy doing war.

the mountain range called Apennines use to be volcanoes .
