We still use this technique today in modern architecture.Post and lintel is a simple construction technique, also called "post and boom", where a horizontal member (the lintel) is supported by two vertical posts at either side. This very simple form is commonly used to support windows and floors.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 35

Question
Construction took place in four phases, over 25 generations. Most of it was the result of human muscle and a system of ropes and wooden levers used to transport the massive stones. Primitive tools, such as red deer antlers, were used to dig up the chalky countryside of Salisbury Plain, which was then taken away on ox shoulder blades.The sandstone used in the Sandstone (sarsen) blocks are thought to have been quarried a minimum of 20 miles away and transported down the river and moved to the site. They are thought to have been dragged and carted from Marlborough Downs The bluestones were deposited by glaciers in the Preseli Mountains in Wales some 200 miles west of the site. They were carted from the mountains to the rivers where they were put on rafts and shipped to the site.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 36

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 39

Question
The Builders, no one can say for sure who built the monument. Seventeenth century, English antiquarian, John Aubrey, implicated the Druids, a religious sect known to worship at modern day Stonehenge. But this theory is now considered implausible. The modern Druid, possibly formed from a Celtic priesthood, is believed to have come along 2,000 years after the stone monument had been built and perhaps was in ruin. The widely held belief is that the so-called Heel Stone was positioned so that the sun would rise directly above it on the day of the summer solstice (when the sun is furthest from the equator). This is incorrect, it appears that Stonehenge was originally aligned with the major and minor northern moonrises. Only later did it become oriented toward the sun due to the slow movement of the earth away from the sun.The Heel Stone and the now fallen Slaughter Stone along with other stones and the axis of the avenue to the Avon river, were arranged in the direction of the midsummer sunrise.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 44

Question
Early life could be described as plant or animal life but by 3 million years ago, human-like beings began to develop. The strongest humans survived and developed into the modern humans we recognized today.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 45

Question
There are two broad times or periods called the Paleolithic Era (the Old Stone Age) and the Neolithic Era (the New Stone Age). Although life and the environment changed slowly throughout these periods, there are some very differences between the Old and New Stone Ages.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 46

Question
Throughout the Old Stone Age, early man was a hunter-gather. He moved from one area to another with his own family and 30-50 other families searching for food. As his food supply moved, so did he. Although he didn't have a permanent home, he found protection in caves or built simple huts or tents made of animal skins. Temperatures were much colder than today, the hunter- gather used furs to keep himself and his family warm. Caves were almost always built or hill to protect humans from the wind.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 47

Question
Early man was tall and grew shorter as time passed. He had a large head and large jaws filled with sharp teeth. Earliest man didn't stand totally upright but that changed throughout the Old Stone Age. His diet was healthy and on average, Paleolitihic man lived a longer life than later human.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 48

Question
The hunter-gather and his family depended on the foods that could be found nearby to eat, such as nuts, berries, animals and fish. Meat from these animals was an important source of food. Nuts and berries could be picked and gathered without any tools but hunting animals and catching fish required tools.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 49

Question
The Paleolitihic man learned to attach stones to the clubs and make weapons that were more deadly to catch fish and hunt for animals. As time went on, he was able to carve a triangular blade called a microlith. This was very sharp and even better for the hunter. He was able to create knives from stone. Another weapon he used was a bow and arrow. AS weapons improved, so did the food supply. As a result, early man became stronger and healthier.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 50

Question
The hunter-gather lived in a group or clan, the leader was usually the eldest male. Most of the decisions were mad by the men and the hunting was done by them too. Man didn't have a written language, he communicated with his clam member by sound. Women took care of the children and helped gather the nuts and berries. They would make clothes from animal skins and furs and fishing nets.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 51

Question
Many ancient burial pits have been uncovered and signs of burial rituals have been found. The burial pits contain examples of everyday items like clothing, food, weapons and tools as well as beautifully crafted jewelry.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 52

Question
The hunter-gather were very dependent on their environment as their ability to change the environment was very limited. An Ice Age had covered most of the world from 1.5 million years to about 25,000 years ago. Life was very difficulty and many animals and humans died. However, around 10,000 years ago the climate warmed and the environment began to change. Glaciers and thick forests that have covered the northern portions of the earth began to disappear. New forms of plant and animal life appeared and life changed dramatically. These changes led the way for the New Stone Age or Neolithic Era.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 53

Question
Several important developments paved the way for the Neolithic Era. Tools and weapons made of sharpened stone or simple metals protected early man and increased his food supply. As the climate changed and surpluses of food were produced, man no longer needed to move constantly to feed his family. The end of the nomadic living and an increase in framing were major changes experienced during the Neolithic Era.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 54

Question
Neolithic a man learned to save and replant seed enabling him to grow food in a variety of places. Plants such as wheat, rice and millet were the earliest seed plants to be grown. Animals were also bred for specific uses. Some animals were used for their milk, some for meat, and some for labor. They were kept close to the homes of Neolithic men. No longer were animals mainly hunted and killed for food and warmth.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 55

Question
The Neolithic man no longer needed to be on the move constantly, his home changed too. Homes were built of stone, wood, and air dried brick. Many were several stories high. Homes were built in clusters and developed into villages and towns.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 56

Question
The farming villages of the Neolithic Era created a need for government. Decisions about property ownership, water rights, and proper behavior had to be made. Disputes were settled. This led to the development of religious leaders who kept society in order, militaries that provided protection and states that were controlled by kings. Although men ruled, women were worshipped and treated with great respect.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 57

Question
People in the Neolithic Age had the same issues we have today. They were not necessarily healthier, although they ate well. People lived closer together and were susceptible to disease. Worked harder and frequently fought with neighboring groups over land and property ownership. These dangers affected their lifespan.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 58

Question
The neolithic Era was filled with change. No longer was man forced to move because he was unable to survive the challenges of his environment. During this era, man developed many survival skills that helped shape a new society. Today, we consider this change a turning point in the history of man.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 59

Question
According to the author of this article, what is the big question about early man that scientists have been trying to answer for many years?
Answer
  • Why did the African's live so long?
  • Where did the first human appeared?
  • Why and how did early man disperse throughout the world?
  • Why and how did human ancestor evolve millions years ago?

Question 60

Question
What two main theories attempt to answer the question and end the debate?
Answer
  • Multi-regeneration hypothesis, suggested that human ancestors dispersed throughout the globe, through the micro elements.
  • The out-of-Africa theory, holds that modern humans evolved in Africa for many centuries before the flood.
  • Multi-regional hypothesis, suggested that a species of human ancestor dispersed throughout the globe, and modern humans evolved from this predecessor in several different locations. The other, out-of-Africa theory, held that modern humans evolved in Africa for many thousands of years before they spread throughout the rest of the world. The debate has not ended because although the DNA analyses has answered some questions but still has not completed answered all questions regarding the migration.
  • While scientists speculated about possible theories, they had little conclusive evidence to prove or disprove their theories.

Question 61

Question
Why have scientists struggled to develop a definite answer either way?
Answer
  • There is not enough fossils and bones to develop concrete conclusions.
  • There aren't enough resources nor scientists to assist with the research.
  • African fossils and bones are ancient and therefore too old to analyze.
  • There is no definite place to start the research and excavations.

Question 62

Question
What scientific evidence is used today that is helping scientists piece together the story of modern man’s migration across the world?
Answer
  • By analyzing DNA in living human populations, geneticists could trace lineages backward in time. These analyses have provided key support for the out-of-Africa theory.
  • Africa is relatively rich in the fossils of human ancestors who lived millions of years ago.
  • Improved nutrition or some genetic mutation allow modern humans to explore the world.
  • There was no scientific evidence.

Question 63

Question
What is one explanation that scientists have given to explain why the remains of early modern man are harder to find than the remains of Neanderthal man?
Answer
  • Other scholars point to more mundane factors that may have contributed to the exodus from Africa.
  • One suspicion is that the early moderns on both continents did not- in contrast to Neanderthals--bury their dead, but either cremated them or left them to decompose in the open.
  • A recent DNA study suggests that massive droughts before the great migration split Africa's modern human population into small, isolated groups and may have even threatened their extinction.
  • "It could have been almost accidental, a path of least resistance that did not require adaptations to different climates, topographies or diet.

Question 64

Question
How did the dry environment of Africa protect scientific evidence for so long?
Answer
  • Many such places are dry today, which makes for a harsh and difficult exploration habitat for paleontologists. Wind erosion exposes old bones that were covered in muck millions of years ago. Remains of early Homo sapiens, by contrast, are rare, not only in Africa, but also in Europe. One suspicion is that the early moderns on both continents did not—in contrast to Neanderthals—bury their dead, but either cremated them or left them to decompose in the open.
  • Many such places are dry today, which makes for a congenial exploration habitat for paleontologists. Wind erosion exposes old bones that were covered in muck millions of years ago. Remains of early Homo sapiens, by contrast, are rare, not only in Africa, but also in Europe. One suspicion is that the early moderns on both continents did not—in contrast to Neanderthals—bury their dead, but either cremated them or left them to decompose in the open.
  • Many such places are wet today, which makes for a congenial exploration habitat for paleontologists. Wind erosion exposes old bones that were covered in muck millions of years ago. Remains of early Homo sapiens, by contrast, are rare, not only in Africa, but also in Europe. One suspicion is that the early moderns on both continents did not—in contrast to Neanderthals—bury their dead, but either cremated them or left them to decompose in the open.
  • Many such places are humid today, which makes for a congenial exploration habitat for paleontologists. Wind erosion exposes old bones that were covered in muck millions of years ago. Remains of early Homo sapiens, by contrast, are rare, not only in Africa, but also in Europe. One suspicion is that the early moderns on both continents did not—in contrast to Neanderthals—bury their dead, but either cremated them or left them to decompose in the open.

Question 65

Question
In the past, what factors did scientists think caused early man to move beyond Africa?
Answer
  • Improved nutrition or some genetic mutation allow modern humans to explore the world.
  • A recent DNA study suggests that massive droughts before the great migration split Africa's modern human population into small, isolated groups and may have even threatened their extinction. Only after the weather improved were the survivors able to reunite, multiply and, in the end, emigrate.
  • Improvements in technology may have helped some of them set out for new territory. Or cold snaps may have lowered sea level and opened new land bridges.
  • All of the above.

Question 66

Question
Based on more current scientific practices of evidence gathering, what environmental changes might have sparked a migration from Africa?
Answer
  • A recent DNA study suggests that massive droughts before the great migration split Africa's modern human population into small, isolated groups and may have even threatened their extinction. Only after the weather improved were the survivors able to reunite, multiply and, in the end, emigrate. Improvements in technology may have helped some of them set out for new territory. Or cold snaps may have lowered sea level and opened new land bridges.
  • "It could have been almost accidental, a path of least resistance that did not require adaptations to different climates, topographies or diet.
  • The migrants' path never veered far from the sea, departed from warm weather or failed to provide familiar food, such as shellfish and tropical fruit.
  • In the 1980s, new tools completely changed the kinds of questions that scientists could answer about the past.

Question 67
