    occuring in a population across successive
    generation. It helps us identify and analyze
    man’s physiological development which is
    important in his subsistence.
    SPECIES CHARACTERISTICS
    HOMO HABILIS Species with a brain of a broca’s
    area which is associated with
    speechh in modern humans and
    was the firs to make stone tools.
    HOME Species characterized by a longer
    RUDOLFENSIS face, larger molar and premolar
    teeth, and having a larger
    braincase compared to habilis
    particularly larger frontal lobes,
    areas of the brain that processes
    information.
    SPECIES CHARACTERISTICS
    HOMO ERECTUS The species name means”Upright
    man” with body proportions
    similar to that of modern
    humans. They were the first
    hunters with imporvised tools
    such as axes and knives, and
    were the first to produce fire.
    HOMO HEIDEL- Species with large bow ridge and
    BERGENESIS short wide bodies that lived
    about 700,000 to 200,000 years
    ago in europe and africa.
    SPECIES CHARACTERISTICS
    They were the first of early
    human species to live in colder
    climates, first to hunt large
    animals on routine basis using
    spears, and first to construct
    human shelters.
    HOMO Species nickname”Hobbit” due to
    FLORESIENSIS their small stature with a height
    of more or less 3 feet and lived
    95,000 to 17,000 years ago in
    the island of flores, Indonesia
    along with other dwarfed animal
    species.
    SPECIES CHARACTERISTICS
    HOMO SAPIENS The species name means”wise
    man” that appeared form
    200,000 years ago. The present
    human race belongs to this
    species.
    HOMO SAPIENS Known also as “Neanderthal
    NEANDER- Man”, is the closest relative of
    THALENSIS modern humans. The first to
    practice burial of their dead,
    hunting and gathering food, and
    sewing clothes from animal skin
    using bone needles.
    SPECIES CHARACTERISTICS
    HOMO SAPIENS Subspecies known as Cro-
    SAPIENS Magnon characterized to be
    anatomically modern humans
    and lived in the last Ice Age of
    europe form 40,000 to 10,000
    years ago. They were the first to
    produce art in cave paintings and
    crafting decorated tools and
    accesories.
    MAN’S CULTURAL EVOLUTION
    CULTURAL PERIOD TIME FRAME CULTURAL
    DEVELOPMENT
    Paleolithic Age Traditionally coincided • Use of simple pebble
    (Old Stone Age) with the first evidence tools.
    of tool construction • Learned to live in
    and use by homosome caves
    2.5 million years ago • Discovered the use
    of fire
    • Developed small
    sculptures; and
    monumental
    painting, incised
    designs, and relief
    on the walls of
    caves.
    • Food-collecting
    cultures
    MAN’S CULTURAL EVOLUTION
    CULTURAL PERIOD TIME FRAME CULTURAL
    DEVELOPMENT
    Neolithic Age Occured sometime • Stone tools were
    (New stone Age) about 10,000 BCE shaped by
    polishing or
    grinding
    • Settlement in
    permanent villages
    • Dependence on
    domesticated
    plants or animals.
    • Apperance of such
    crafts as pottery
    and weaving
    • Food-producing
    cultures
