Nobel Peace Prize

               Nobel Peace Prize
 The Nobel Peace Price is named after Alfred Nobel, a Swedish inventor and industrialist. He established a fund to award prizes annually for strides made in several categories, including the advancement of peace. Ironically, Nobel's most noteworthy invention was dynamic.

              The Earliest Americans
   The American continents include North and South America. They are connected and span two hemispheres, from the frigid Arctic Circle in the north to the icy waters aroud Antarctic in the South. Although this land mass narrows greatly around modern-day Panama, it stretches unbroken for more than 10,000 miles. This large and rugged land is isolated from the rest of the world by vast oceans. Yet, at one time, thousand of years ago, the Americas were connected by a land bridge to Asia. Most experts believe that the first people came to the Americas from Asia over this land bridge. This land bridge is known as BERINGIA.
   The first Americans arrived sometimes towards the end of the last ICE AGE, which lasted from roughly 1.6 million to 10,000 B.C.

             The Neolithic Revolution
    For thousands upon thousands years, humans survived by hunting game and gathering edible plants. They lived in bands of no more than two dozen to three dozen people. The men almost cerntainly did the hunting. The women gathered fruits, berries, roots, and grasses. Then about 10,000 years ago, some of the women may have found new crops growing. This discovery would usher in the NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION, or the AGRRICULTURAL revolution - the far reaching changes in human life resulting from the beginnings of farming. The shift from food-gathering to food-producing culture represents one of the great breakthrough in history.
    The agricultural revolution caused a dramatic changes in human diet. Hunter-gatherers consumed about 80 percent meat and 20 percent plant foods. The agricultural revolution reversed these percentages.
 Scientists do not know exactly why the agricultural revolution occured during this period. Change in climate was probably a key factor. Farming offered an attractive alternative. Unlike hunting, farming provided a steady source of food.

Cave Painting

                       Cave Painting
   Prehistoric painting probably served a more meaningful role than just showing vivid scenes from daily life. They may have represented religious beliefs. Early artists may have also hoped their images had magical power that would bring hunters good luck. Perhaps some paintings acted as a kind of textbook to help young hunters identify various animals. The use of pictures to communicate information represents an important first in the development of writing.
    In Algeria, farming and herding gradually replaced hunting as a means of getting food. This African cave painting from Algeria shows women and children tending cattle. The white rings - symbols for huts - illustrate an early version of signs used in writing.
    In Australia, this rock painting features two humanlike figures holding up their hands. Early artists used stencils to create these outstretched hands, which commonly appear in Australian rock art.
    In France, stampeding wild horses and bison seem to come alive in this prehistoric painting below from Lascaux Cave in France. After viewing such striking scenes, the world-famous, 20th-century artist Picasso reportely said, "We have learned nothing."

Human Origin

             Human Origins in Africa
    What were the earliest humans like? Many people have asked themselves this question. Because there are no written records of prehistoric peoples, scientists have to piece together information about the past. Terms of scientists use a variety of research methods and techniques to learn more about how, where, and when early humans developed.
        Scientists Search for Human Origins
   Writing documents provide a window to the distant past. For several thousand years people have recorded information about their beliefs, activities, and important events. Archaeologists are scientists who learn about early people by excavating and studying the traces of early settlements. An excavated site called an archaeological dig, provides one of the richest sources of clues to the prehistoric way of life. ARTIFACTS are remains, such as tools, jewelry, and other human-made objects. This objects might hint at how people dressed, what work they did, or how they worshiped.
    While some scientists called anthropologists study CULTURE, or people's unique way of life. Other scientists, called PALEONTOLOGISTS, study fossils - evidence of early life preserved in rocks. Human fossils often consist of small fragments of teeth, skulls, or other bones. Paleontologists use complex techniques to date ancient fossils remains and rocks.
    Archaeologistss, anthropologists, paleontologists, and other scientists work as a team to make new discoveries about how prehistoric people lived.
