module 8Archaeological evidence reveals early human behavior

Instructions

Physical anthropologists work with archaeologists, biologists, primatologists, geneticists, ecologists, etc. to explore the evidence for early “human” behavior. Specifically, they spend a lot time trying to determine how we are similar, but more so, they are driven by the question of “what makes us human?” In this exercise, we are going to interpret some of the archaeological evidence used to define early human behavior including stone and bone tools, fire cracked rock, shelters, burials, and other artifacts.
