At that time, and during subsequent periods of history, the world was not as it is today. We know now that the continents are continually moving, slowly inching together in one place and apart in another. When the first humanlike creatures evolved from their primate ancestors, Europe and North America were joined together but separated from Africa where the oldest pre-human fossils have been found. When sea-levels dropped, a land bridge emerged, allowing our pre-human ancestors to cross into Eurasia from Africa. All living things are tied to their environment. How they live depends on where they live. Today, we can to an extent change the conditions in which we live. We can heat our homes if we live in cold climates, cool them if we live in hot places. The earliest people could not change the world around them they had to adapt to it or die. Eventuallv they made discoveries and developed skills that allowed them to change their environment. They used fire and tools, and began to live as humans, developing language, artistic skills and spiritual awareness, and living together in communities. The First People traces the origins and developments of Homo sapiens and earlier pre-human species. Successive maps chart the spread of humans from Africa to other continents, as people moved from place to place to take advantage of more favourable conditions where food was asier to find. Later titles in the series describe how and where prehistoric peoples settled and founded villages and towns. From them grew the great civilizations of the ancient world and the later civilizations of the New World. Seeing where people lived and understanding the nature of the place and its climate gives us a fresh insight into history.(libra) aR.930 4aSejarah Dunia Purba a07533 a028073
