Historically Accurate Statements and Cave Art

Post-Dynamic Figure Panel

Think back to what archaeologists and paleontologists have learned about early humans. Then, use this knowledge to determine if the following statements are true or false:

• Homo sapiens migrated from Asia to Africa, Australia, and the Americas.
• People from the Paleolithic Era were hunter-gatherers who used simple stone tools.
• Fossils are objects shaped by human hands.
• A nomad is a social group consisting of those who claim descent from a common ancestor.
• Evidence suggests that early humans originated in the Ethiopian Highlands west of Africa.

Edit all of the false statements to make them true using the Statements and Cave Art Template. Next, choose one true statement from above, and construct cave art representative of what an archaeologist may have found to support this claim. Use the space provided in the template to create an illustration that addresses your chosen statement.

Your cave art design should be attractive and well-designed, and should accurately reflect the fact you determined was true from the list above. In addition, clearly label each section or image. Before you begin, access the Statements and Cave Art Checklist to be sure you have included all of the items required for full credit.
