First Peoples-Populating the Planet- Chapter 1

To think human revolution comes from an African story is pretty incredible. The dispersion of humankind is put into perspective after the first chapter.

 From Eurasia where the focus was spear throwing and telling their stories through cave paintings was evident 40,000 years ago. Although, we simply do not know the truth to the paleolithic view, we do have some type of understanding of where life started thanks to many archeologists.

Taking human migration  a step ahead into the "dreamtime" where over 250 languages were developed along with the use of boats. Paleo people were everywhere and the physical footprints were left behind to prove the natural order. The focus in Australia was spears, wood, feathers, stones and shells.

Eurasia and Australia are on two different parts of the world they were still sharing similar lifestyles.


Moving to the Americas where Clovis people. Big time hunters meanwhile living along rivers and springs. It's a fact that today not a single Clovis exist which has raised question as to why they are gone.

The Paleolithic era is a without a doubt a time we will never know first hand but it is important to know the past. For whatever reason this primitive time is somewhat how we all came about living how we do know. Everything is so easy. We do need to hunt or gather for our own food.
