Many people think humans were
the first to inhabit the Earth, but what they do not know is that there were
different hominids that inhabited the earth for thousands of years before us. I
agree with Strayer in the fact that we cannot simply ignore Paleolithic and
Neolithic people. If it were not for them and the technology they created, the
other hominids would not have something to build from. Just because they did
not write, does not mean they did not exist. I find it fascinating how they had the knowledge needed to
domesticate these animals. Also, how they stopped relying solely on animals as
their only source of food, but also learned they could grow plants. When they
made this discovery they no longer needed to travel from one place to another,
now they could build their civilizations around these plants. Lastly, how they
were able to migrate to different places such as Eurasia, Australia, etc. This
just shows how intelligent they actually where because they were able to come
up with some sort of boat that would not only get them where they needed to go,
but also to carry all the materials necessary for their survival. I believe the
shift from hunting to farming was the most important because humans nowadays continue
this because we still grow plants; I could not imagine us as being hunters.
