Essential QuestionSlide5
Ice Age is Born10,000 B.C.E. starts as a slight shift in the Earth’s Axis away from the sun cools the planet
Average temperatures drop up to 14 degrees FSlide6
Ice Age is Born1/3 of the planet is now covered in ice
Glaciers literally a mile high cover the northern part of Europe & Asia
The Ice Age is bornSlide7
Migration During the Ice AgeMankind begins to migrate in a new way & new direction
Mankind migrates over the land bridges of ice that now cover the globeSlide8
Migration During the Ice Age
It was during this time that people were thought to have migrated into Australia from Southeast Asia & to North America from Northeast Asia
These created independent & new cultures and individual pockets of people all over the globe Slide9
Mankind is Challenged Once AgainNow mankind faces new hardships & challenges
The climate is now the most challenging thing mankind has ever facedSlide10
Mankind is Challenged Once Again
Temperatures that are about 15 degrees & drop down to -40 degrees threaten humankinds existence
Food is now scarce as there are few roots, berries to gather and few animals to hunt
Mankind becomes the hunted as other animals need to eat as wellSlide11
Mankind Faces their First Killing Machine
Our Greatest Ice Age Enemy
They have a top speed of 35 MPH
Jaws bite with 1,500 lbs of force per square inch which is enough to crush bonesSlide12
Mankind Faces their First Killing Machine
They hunt in packs and gang up on their prey
The first killing machine that man faces is the wolfSlide13
Domesticating the Wolf
A few wolves have genes that make them tamer than the rest
These are the ancestors of all the dogs alive today
Mankind began throwing these tame wolves scraps of food
The wolves came back again & again for more scrapsSlide14
Domesticating the WolfEventually some wolves come right into the caves where Ice Age people live and the people continue to give them scraps
Over time (hundreds of years) mankind’s worst Ice Age Enemy becomes Man’s Best Friend Slide15
Domesticating the Wolf
Mankind has domesticated it’s first animal
Domesticating an animal is changing the animal’s genetic code over hundreds of years by breeding certain animals together
They breed the animals with favorable traits like (friendliness) this way the baby will be likely to
be friendly
Wolves that are friendly to humans were taken in by mankind to liveSlide16
Domesticating the Wolf
Mankind then bred the different wolves together to get a baby wolf that would also be friendly to humans
The process was done over & over until mankind had an animal that was always friendly (dog)
Domestication always occurs to benefit humansSlide17
Man & Wolf a Deadly Combination
Man has the largest brains of any species
Man knows how to track animals and is aware of patterns and where animals will be
Man can strategize how to trap animals in corners or herd them over cliffsSlide18
Man & Wolf a Deadly Combination
The wolf can hunt at night
The wolf can run up to 35 MPH
The wolf can hear deer over the horizon hours before humans even become aware that there are even deer in the area
Man & Wolf are a deadly combinationSlide19
Domestication Increases Food Source
The combination of humans and dogs increased food sources during the Ice Age
Humans would strategize where the herds would be & how to trap them
The dogs would go & kill them
Everybody ate. It was the winning combination that helped the human species survive the Ice AgeSlide20
Mankind Innovates During Ice AgeIn the frozen world of the Ice Age mankind makes leaps of progress forward
Mankind uses stone caves as homes which are warmed by firesSlide21
Mankind Innovates During Ice Age
Animal bones are sharpened to create the first needles
Clothing is made by these needles
The clothing helps trap the heat against our skin so we don’t freeze to deathSlide22
Mankind FlourishesEven as Ice grips the planet the domestication of the dog helps mankind not only survive but flourish
Mankind has beaten the Ice AgeSlide23
Ice Age comes to a CloseJust as mankind has mastered the Ice Age the planet begins to warm again
Temperatures begin to rise and ice begins to meltSlide24
Ice Age comes to a Close
Mankind now moves/migrates to where the ice has melted in the northern parts of the world to follow animal herd that they and their new partner the dog can hunt
By 10,000 B.C.E. the human population reaches one million for the first timeSlide25
Important Points
6.H.2.1
- (Migrations)
Migration played a huge part in the Ice Age as mankind migrated from Asia east into America & South into Australia for the first time over land bridges made of ice
6.H.2.1
- (Migrations)
Mankind also migrated North when the ice sheets began to melt because they were following the herds of animals so they could hunt them
6.H.2.3
- (Domestication of Animals)
The greatest innovation to any weapon during the ice age was the domestication of the wolf into the dog. This gave mankind a new weapon and revolutionized their hunting
6.G.1.4
- (Domestication
of Animals)
There are few greater examples of modifying/changing your environment than the domestication of the wolf. The wolf changed from man’s worst enemy to man’s best friend
