MONTESSORI THE GREAT LESSONS :The Lower Paleolithic Period



 The Coming of Humans



The First Inter Glacial Period

Man appeared on the earth during a glacial
period. Though he was the weakest of all the
animals, he possessed something denied the
other animals. He had a greater intelligence,
 imagination, and the power to reflect. He could
also control and change the environment.



 The first men who lived in this
First Inter-Glacial Period were called 
Hominids because they did not look like men. 
They were related to Australopithecus
and seemingly lived in Africa.

Human Remains

  Very few.These men are related to
a creature which was given the name 
"Australopith ecus" and seemingly
 lived in AfricaHe had an erect posture
and was called "Hominid." 

Tools

 Almond-shaped stones were 
found everywhere, but it is difficult
 to establish whether these are 
natural or the work of men.

Habitation

 Trees and caves 

Fauna

Saber-tooth tigers, meridional 
elephants, Etruscan rhinoceroses,
lions, bison, etc.  

Vegetation

About like that of today-
big trees and many bushes.
