The Power of The Early Humans

The early humans were very important to civilization. Australopithecus afarensis was the first hominid to be a biped. This in effect allowed later hominids such as Homo habilis to emerge as a the first toolmaking hominid. Homo erectus with the discovery and control of fire paved the way allowing migration, protection, and the seeds of culture to take place. Homo neanderthalensis with its larger brain created more sophisticated tools and prototype communities. Lastly, Homo sapien, the only surviving human species created art, language, and culture through the special ability of thinking abstractly. Click on the link below called "Early Humans." Read the webpage you will be taken to and decide in a 7-10 sentence paragraph with a topic sentence and conclusion. Explain which early human's power contributed most to civilization.

  1. I believe Homo habilis contributed more to civilization.They were the first toolmakers on earth.Without tools we wouldn't have anything we have right now for example our homes.If Homo habilis didn't invent tools the hominids that came later wouldn't be able to survive the changes of the earth like the climate.If it weren't for them we might not be here.This is why I think Homo habilis contributed more to civilization.

  2. Homo habils took one of the largest steps of mankind by being able to make stone tools. H. habilis was known as the handy man. Tool making was important because without tool making we would still be like Australopithecus afarensis. We would be using accidental tools to still smash things.H. habilis through stone making technology created better tools for hunting. Which allowed H. habilis to have a better diet. Tools also allowed for the creation of shelter which allowed protection from predators. Tool making has revolutionized toolmaking.

  3. I INFER THAT HOME ERECTUS WAS THE KEY TO HUMAN CIVILIZATION.I THINK THAT BECAUSE IT CREATED FIRE FIRST.WE WOULDNT HAVE FIRE IF IT WASNT FOR H.ERECTUS.H.ERECTUS REALLY HELPED US HUMANS WITH THE KEY OF FIRE WITCH WE NOW USE ALOT.WE HUMANS USE FIRE IN ELECTRICITY AS LIGHT.

  5. Justin said I think that homo Neanderthal put the most efert into civalization. I perdict that because they had made comunity,advancedment in tools,and hunting.they were very human like by helping each other out. They put an advancedment in tools by making spiers and knives. And they are better hunters because they learned how to ambush them and camflauge. and that is why I think homo Naenderthlisis committed the most to civalization.

  6. I think that Homo erects cotributed more to civilazation. I think that because it was able to create fire which was a very important to us living today. If like, where would we able to live without fire it would be cold. Fire was able to scare of animals or cretures from eating them or killing them. Cooking, for example, it was able to kill bateria to make the food more edibale. Fire did many things to Homo erectus because not only that it was so great of creating fire, it made them to live longer. Fire was able to make tettitory so animals can't come near them. Almost everything can described Homo erectus to be the most contributed to cviliaztion. That is my reasons of why I think Homo erectus was more contributed to civilization. -From Paul From Notre Dame

  9. The hominid who showed the most power in changing mankind was Homo sapien-sapien. They were the first to create art and music. Art and music are important in giving culture to civilization. Without art and music we would not be able to express our true feelings. H. sapien was also able to think abstractly. H. sapien invented language. Language helped us create communities which then turned into cities. These examples show that Homo sapien had the most power.

  10. Homo erectus is the most important to civilization. It was the hominid who discovered fire. The power of fire allowed H. erectus to migrate. The power of fire also contributed by giving warmth which is important to our survival. Fire's power protected H. erectus from predators. Fire created light for H. erectus when they migrated out of caves. It allowed them to have light to migrate to different continent. So that is why Homo erectus is the most important to civilization.

  12. I agree with the Columbia class because Homo habilis did take one huge step to mankind. Without Homo habils we will still be hunters and gatherers. we might not be here if tool making wasn't invented because protection predators. Tools helped us in domesticating animals.

  13. I think that Homo Erectus contributed most to civilization because without fire we wouldn't have light.Another reason why is because with fire Homo Erectus could migrate,keep warm,have light,and protection.Homo Erectus could domesticate animals and creatures with fire. That was important because animals could help with hard work. Without the fire we would not been able to cook our food or keep warm.The fire could also help Homo Erectus by traveling into dark places. Marilyn :Notre Dame

  14. i think that homo erectus was a great importance to mankid. Homo erectus discovered fire. Without the discovery of H.erectus we wouldnt have everything we have now. Fire help H.erectus by traveling at night in order to get more food. Fire also kept then warm so they wont freeze to death. They used fire to cook thier food so they can get more protiens and so it would taste better. Then civilization became more advanced to mankind.

  15. I think homo neranderthal was the most intelligent.Why I think they were the most intellegent was because they were better hunters.They were also better tool makers than homo habilis.They were also stronger than homo sapien sapien.They also cared for others.They were the fist to belive to bury their dead.They live in communitys.Homo neanderthal coexisted with homo sapien sapien.That is why I think homo neranderthal was the most important.

  17. Homo erectuse took a step to fire. Homo erecuse use fire for there diet. They need a diet for they will get sick. They could not eat to much raw meat. They do not have enuf bactireas. they also use fire to keep warm this is why they use fire.

  19. Australopithecus afarensis is the start of all humanity. It was the first biped. It is important to be a biped because it frees up the hands. Bipedalism is important to humanity because it allowed hominids to see further. In addition, it was also important because it paved the way for tool making. As one can see A. afarensis was the beginning of humanity.

  23. i think that homo neanderthal was the key to human life. i think that they were the key because we got some of our stenght from them. Archaeologists say that they discovered clothing, and i agree with them because there are fossils found that are shaped as clothing. we even got our hunting skills from them. i predict that homo neanderthal was the main hominid in human life.

    H.eretus use fire for cooking.H.eretus use fire for light.Fire helps eretus for protection.H.eretus use fire for warmth.H.eretus also use fire for shelter for other Hominids.That is why fire is usedful for homo eretus.

  26. Homosapien was smarter than anyother hominid.
    H.saipien had allot of creativity.
    H.saipien discoverd music.
    H.saipien made music because it shows abstract thinking.
    H.saipien made lanuage.
    they,also made art.

  27. I predict that H.erectus was responsible for the creation of FIRE. I predict that the power of fire allowed H.erectus with light.Also the power of fire protected H.erectus from dangerous animals.They also used fire for warmth and food.They also used fire for shelter.H.erectus tamed fire and tamed and was not afraid of FIRE.That is why H.erectus was responsible for the creation of FIRE!!!!!!

  28. I believe that Homo neanderthalensis was the hominid that contributed most of their power to civilization.First of all Homo neanderthalensis improved every ability befor other hominids.They improved tools from H.habilis,and used fire more as well.Homo Neanderthalensis were stronger than H.sapein and from what I know they also had a bigger brain than us.They cared for others,and were the first hominid group who beleived in burying the dead.They also were a huge part in community and useing culture from other hominids.So those are my reasons for my choice of which hominid contribued most to civilization.

  29. There's only 1 homind who was in charge and that was homo sapien sapien. homo sapien are more like us today!!!! more human like.all the other hominds may have started a tool but us homo sapien have their tools and our owns. ART. we have more the ability to use tools and live. not only that, but our own relatives died out before us. we are also the most intelligent homind!!!! we have the largest cranium. this comes to show, we homo sapien are in power.

    My opinion is that Homo Sapien Sapiens brought more cilivisation to the world.I think that Homo sapein sapiens brought more cilivasation to the world because they were able to think abstracly. By bieng able to think abstracly we were able to create art,music,and languege. We might not have invented tools but we made bigger better tools.Languege brought us to little towns then cities after huge cummunity.Also art and music are a big part of the world.

    I summarize that without homo sapien exsisting we wouldn't be able to do as many things as we can do today.For example the invented art,and the ability to think abstractly.Without that we would do things we never wanted to do.In addition since they were the only hominid left they must have been really smart.Homo sapien hs contributed the most because they did things other hominids couldn't have done.Also homo sapien had more human like features and they were very smart.As one can see homo sapien has contributed the most out of all the other hominids.

  32. I think that Homo erectus was important.They contributed fire.Fire was very important because they used it alot. They used it for cooking,protection,light, and heat.If there was no fire Homo erectus would die out faster.That is why Homo erectus is important.

  33. I agree with Andrew,Brian,Ismael,and Ashley because it is true that the H.erectus's discovery of fire helped every one in surviving the winter.We all use fire in many useful ways like cooking,light,migration,and warmth like Alex said.I also disagree with Stephanie because the Homo sapien are us so there is no way of them dying so that means that they are still alive!!!(Stephanie you should make your sentances more clear to be undrestood)Without the H.erectus there would be no surviver alive!!!!!!!

  35. Homo erectus was the start of modern tools. H.erctus discovered fire and learned how to control it. For the fire of Homo erectus lead them to use it for warmth like a heater. H.erectus had also discovered that they could use fire to scare away animals and not get into an animal attack. H.erectus was the first to migrate night and day with fire. the advatage to migrate night and day caused H.erectus to migrate out of africa to east Asia. For the great discovery of fire ones life has been benifitted by H.erectus and their understanding of fire. - Aonya Montoya:Stanford

  39. I think that Homo sapiens were very important to civilization because of there different discoveries and finds.They started speaking and bringing in culture.Homo saiens were also able to think abstractlly and create art on walls to exress themselves.They started making very complex tool like a cross bow.Their brain was also are very big in comarasin to A.afarensis.Homo sapiens created community and started getting closer,first town,then city,and last they turned into states.These are the reasons why I think Homo saiens were close to civilization.Isabella Jimenez:princeton

  40. Homo habilis was important to civlization.Homo habilis was the first to be classified as homo .Homo habilis were the first to be able to make tools.They made difrent kind of tools.This tools we have today are very helpful so we have to be thankful to homo habilis.This is why homohabilis was important to civilazation.

  41. There are many reasons why I think that H. sapien contributed to civilization the most.One reason is that the invented art.Tthe second reason is that H. sapien worked in groups.Third reason is that they had a brainsize of 1800cc, this was probably one of the most smartest hominids.They discovered agriculture. Fith and final one is that this was the best hominid in hunting because when they worked in groups they were more likely to hunt better.These are some reasons why I think H. sapien contributed to cicilization.

    I disagree with all the people that think that Homo erectus is the best of all. My opinion is that Homo sapien sapien is the best of all because they discovered more things than Homo erectus. Homo sapien sapien discovered three things and those things brought us to all these beautiful things. those three things are art,music,and languege. Any wase Homo sapien sapien were able to think abstracly. Homo erectus is very dumb. The only important thing that Homo erectus did is that they discovered fire. They did not even make fire they discovered it. Homo sapien sapien are the best of all.

  48. My opinion on who brought more to civilization is Homo Sapiens.Homo Sapiens made art,music,and language.Agriculture helped Homo Sapiens with language which made communitys.They may have not invented tools but made them more advanced and stronger.It was the same with fire because there are many more uses today than before.Everyday this hominid gets smarter.Homo Sapiens brought more to civilization by making everything more advanced

Sapiens had more better intelligance than those who neanderthalensis.even Sapiens had more strength than other hominids.As you can see Homo Sappien Sapien compared to others brought more to civilization.

  63. Homo erectus is the best hominid ever because of their discovery of fire.Homo erectus is the best of the hominids because they discoverd fire,and we use fire for many things.They used fire for light, heat, protection, and migration.Now a days we use fire for warmth but when we are camping or something like that.If it wasn't for Homo erectus discovery of fire we would have no life out in the wildernes (camping).What i mean by that is that if it was cold and we were out in the wilderness we would have no light,no heat, or no protection.That is why Homo erectus is the best prehistoric human ever.

    Homo.habilis is an important hominid because it created tools.Homo.habilis was discovered by Louis & Mary Leakey.While they found the bones they also found tools next to them.This is a useful tool because they can use it for protection.They also used these to carve out fur and meat for warmth and for food.Homo.habilis used these tools wisely ,so that meant they didn't use tools to kill others.To addition they led this tool making to Homo.sapien,but they made it twice advanced.So in concluding i think Homo.habilis contribute more than the other hominids.

  69. Homo sapian contrbuted to civilization the most.I belive that because thay discoverd music,art,and thay where the first hominid to speak there own language.also thay where the first to have culture.did you also know that the closest reletve to homo sapian is neandrathalman.AS you can see homo sapian contributed the most civilization and he is the best homind in mankind in my opinion of course.

  71. H.erectus was the most important homminid that could of ever existed in ALL humanity!They were th one and only responsibles for the discovery of fire!Yes it was them. They discovered fire.Anyone can see thet their discovery made other great discoveries in the future.(today right now)Like warm heaters.Thoose things help us keep warm and cozy on cold,cold days and nights.Fire is also used for light.which of course help people see at night when working or any other thing that people do at night.If it wasnt for fire your food would be cold and nasty.Thats why there are now microwaves or ovens that contain fire.None of these things would exsist if the H.erectus didnt know how to control fire,but luckily they did know how to use it.H.ERECTUS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  72. Based on humanity Homo Erectus had the most impact. Homo Erectus was found on the island of Java by Eugene Dubois. Eugene Dubois also gave this hominid nicknames ''Upright Man'' or ''Homo Erectus''.Homo Erectus was known for the first hominid to use fire.Homo Erectus was first to migrate out of Africa day and night using fire. Scientists say that they were made for traveling. They used fire for lighting,cooking,for protection,and for warmth. As one can see Homo Erectus had the most impact on humanity.

    I think that neaderthal man has contibued the most civilization.They were the first hominds to figure community.In a community there are people.ALso they would make new tools so that they could hunt for food.They would work together to solve problems.They were the closes to homosapien.These are the reason why I think that neaderthalman has contibued more civilization.

  74. I think that homo erectus is the best homonid because of his discovery.Because of his discovery there lifes were much easier.With fire they could migrate at night.Also not lots of them got sick because they did not have to eat raw food anymore.With the ability of fire they scared of predeters.They learned how to control fire ad make it.They discovered fire by a strike of lightig.Thats why I thik homo erectus is the best homoid Ronald Cetia Columbia

    I would like to agree with Arely and Kristiana. That homo erectus was also one of the most impact. Mostly every thing that they did was important. And they pasted it down to only a few pepole. With out it we would have no light,heat,we would not know how to hunt,or cook and we could of still been trying to discover fire. We could of been dieing out like homo neranderthalisis.

  76. Homo erectus was very important to mankind because the use of fire.Homo erectus was found to be the first hominid to discover fire.Fire was very important because it can help survive.Also,fire was very important for food like cooking meat. They would have used fire to migrate anywhere in the world. Without fire Homo erectus could have never survive longer! Homo erectus was very important to mankind because of the use of fire.

    I disagree with Israel.Neanderthal man did not contributed the most civilization.I precdict Homo sapien sapien contributed the most civilization because Neanderthal man was not very smart.Also,Homo sapien was very smart to be civilize.For example, Neanderthal man have been extinct by Homo sapien since Homo sapien was civilize.In addition,Homo sapien very civilize that they have lived the longest!That is why I disagree with Israel.

  81. I thing Homo neanderthalensis contibuted the most to civilization.The reason why I think that is because they are more advanced than any other homind expect Homo sapiensis.They were also the first to talk.They were able to talk because they were not that hairy.They also made the spear for hunting.It was good because they are stonger than any other homind.I think that Homo neanderthalensis contibuted the most to civilisation

  84. I disagree with Jacob because I infer that homo habilis is the hominid with the most civilization. I infer that it is true because homo habilis were the one that discovered tools. Without tools, we wouldn't be able to survive for many things. For example, we wouldn't be able to have shelters. We wouldn't have anywhere to live!!!!!! That is why I disagree with Jacob.

  85. Homo Habilis is important for making tools.They were the first hominid to make tools.tools are imortant because they help us surive.Another reason why tools made Homo Habilis important is because they protect us.Homo Habilis made hominid after them lives easier.Tools are used all over the world.Tools would be important to advance humans too.

    one of the most important hominids was the HOMO SAPIEN SAPIEN.It was so important because of all the things it discovered.It discovered art to show their feelings.They also discovered language to communicate with each other.They also were one of the greatest hunters.This is why the HOMO SAPIEN SAPIEN was so important.

  90. I infer that a.afarensis was more importan to civilazation because it was a biped.Also that it had curved toes that helped them move faster.Another thing is that it was a tree dweller.I think it was important to civilazation because it was the first biped to walk on earth.Another thing was that it's was found almost complete.That is important because no other homind was found almost complete.That's way i think it was important to civilazation.

  91. Stephanie Portillo:Stanford I summarize that without Homo sapien we wouldn't be able to do as many things as we can do today.For example they invented art and the ability to think abstractly.Without them we would do crazy things,and we wouldn't be able to paint or draw.In addition since they were the only hominids left they must have been smart because they killed Homo neanderthal.Homo sapien has contributed the most because they did things other hominds couldn't have done.Also Homo sapien had more human like features and they were really smart.As one can see Homo sapien has contributed the most out of all of the other hominids.

    Homo erectus is important to humanity. They are important because they created fire. With fire H.erectus was able to migrate at night. They can also cook thanks to fire. With the discovery that H.erectus made we have protection. They can also keep warm or they will die. That is why H.erectus is important for humanity.

  100. In my opinion, I think that Homo Sapiens contributed the most to civilization. I think this because they were not only able to do what previous homonids did but more. For instance, Homo Sapiens were able to pass on culture. Also, Homo Sapiens had the ability of creating new technology. This added to the technology that previous homonids created. The reason why I think that Homo Sapiens contributed to civilization the most is because they had a more complex brain and used strategies that other homonids invented. In conclusion, I think that Homo Sapiens contributed the most to civilizaton because of their expansion of thought.

  101. One of the homonids that helped civilization was Australopithecus Afarensis. Australopithecus Afarensis contributed to civilization by caring for young and their family. This helped civilization by giving people the ability to cooperate with each other. Also, caring for others also helped start communities or groups that protected and cared for each other. In addition, Australopithecus Afarensis was a biped. This helps civilization by allowing us to walk. Walking helps us with transportation. If people a part of a civilizaton can't walk, things would probably not be done as quickly. In sum, Australopithecus Afarensis helped civilization by giving people the ability to care for each other and walk.

    Homo erectus is the best hominid because H.erectus is the first hominid to discover fire. H.erectus's nickname is Upright Man. Fire was very important because fire gave heat,light, and protection. So this means fire would help h.erectus migrate. My inference is that when H.erectus migrates with fire, so the fire would scare animals away. Fire would also keep H.erectus warm. This is why fire was important to H.erectus.

  104. A a.afarensis is a hominid that once walk on its two feet.The hominid cares about its own
    young.It made its own civilization because its brain size is 550cc.It was a lucky find for lucy because Donald almost found the whole body of Lucy.A.Afarensis didn't know how to buried their dead.Lucy was a hominid that live for many years.That's what I wrote for a .afarensis that walk on two feet

  105. I think homo sapiens contributed the most to civilization because,We where the first to have a goverment.Also because we are the first to have culter.Another resone why is becaues we have citys too.And we also have communities lots of them.And another reson is homo sapiens have cured many diseases .These are my resonse on why Homo sapiens contributed the most to civilization.

  106. I argree with Ronald because i also think that H.erects is the best hominid. Like when he said that H.erectus is the hominid that controls fire. His facts are are true and interesting. For example: He said thta H.erectus didn't eat raw meat. Since H.erectus was the first hominid to discover fire. The fire would make meat more edible. This is why i agree with Ronald.

Homo sapeins contributed more to civilization for many reasons.Sapien gave us the ability to think abstractly.With that ability they created math.They also made art.Then ,they discovered metals.With metals they could ,eventually,made swords which were very deadly weapons.This is how Homo sapien contributed to civilization.

Homo habilis took a good step for us.Because they created tools.And that is good because we get to make tools for hunting.Now we use more advance stuff to hunt and to protect from pradators.How we got advance tools were that we got stuff from trees and many more stuff.So also thanks to H.erectus we got fire and then oter scientist discovered metal and if we didnt discovered stuff from hominids we would of not discovered fire tools and other things we would not be able to make shelters.

  116. Homo habilis, aka Handy man, was the first hominid to create tools. It created primitive tools out of stone. It created spears made out of a stick and a sharp stone. Homo habilis was dicovered by Mary and Louis Leakey. They found the remains in Tanzania, West Africa. Homo habilis made various primitive tools such as digging stones. The digging stones might have been used to dig holes for traps or to find underground streams of water. To conclude, without Homo habilis we would not have tools today.

    Homo erectus are very important to civilization. Homo Erectus aka Upright walking man had more advanced tools than H.habilis. Upright man were the first to use fire , light, heat, and protection. They were also the first to migrate. Homo Erectus didn't look as much like how H.Neanderthal were more similar to us. They were the 3red hominid. That is why they are important to our civilization.

  118. Every hominid that ever appeared on the face of the Earth is believed to have evolved to the next type of hominid. It is believed that we have descended from these early primates. We are still living and maybe evolve to. We were the first to create advanced technology, we are the most intelligent.

  119. Australopithecus Afarensis was the most important hominid.It is important beacuse it was biped. Bipedalism was important because it caused everything. Being biped was help full because when their runing from hungery animals.It helps with tree walk tree-to-tree to pick fruit. So that why Australopithecus Afarensis is themost important hominid.

  120. Homo Erectus was important becuse it was the first hominid to ever make fire. Fire was and still is important because it keeps people warm. Fire was important for Homo Erectus because it also gave them light to see. Homo Erectus also used fire for protection. Fire is the only reason why Homo Erectus is so famous. Without Homo Erectus we would probably be discovering fire barely at this time period. I diagree with Alejandra's point because in her info. she didn't talk about how Homo Erectus helped make the civilization how it is right now. She only states how it was back then. She also had a few spelling errors.

    i agree with Anel because the homo habilis was the first to create stone tools. They found this hominid close to stone tools the tools were used for many reasons. They used the tools to hunt for animals /prey to eat. They named this homind Lucy because the person who discovered was listening to lucy and the sky of diamonds. This homind looks a lot like apes it has similar appearances like the face. This homind was impotant and interesting . This is what i think.

  128. In my opinion I think Homo Sapiens did the most contribution to civilization for many reasons. Because of other ancient hominids they could make new ideas. they had a better brain than other primates that helped us lead to technology and other things we use in modern times. For example, they passed down creating art, language and culture. we can think abstraclty because we have a bigger brain which is about 1350 cc. Homo Sapiens contribute a lot to civlization because many past ancestors are known for a inventions that we can make more sophisticated. This is why I think the are interesting primates to help lead to modern things.

    I think Homo sapien is the most contribution to civilization. H.sapien created art to express themselvs. The creation of art that H.sapien made helps us now to show our emotions or what we are thinking about. H.sapien also invented language. Being able to speak helps us communicate with eachother. Language helps us in many ways. It may also save our lives and get jobs to help our family. This is why I think H.sapien gave the most contribution to civilization
