Presentation of the topic of the first steps of mankind. The primitive world - the first steps of mankind


- Hello guys! I have not come to you empty-handed. I have a riddle for you: "Who walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening?"

- Human origins - the subject of scientific discussionwithuh. Humanity has been developing for a long time and unevenly.
Perandodd primitiveness covers millions of years. In this period on the ground a person appears.

(slide "Topic of the lesson:" The primitive world - the first steps of mankind ")

He develops the land, learns to live in harmony with nature. In other words, he takes the first steps in the knowledge of the world.

While developing, he goes through a certain school of life.

(slide "Lesson name")


  1. Formulation of the problem.
- Let's look at the pictures.

(slide "Monkey and man")

How was ancient man different from an animal?

How did he look like an animal?

We divide our conclusions into two columns: similarity and difference.

(slide "Table. Similarities and differences")

Look at the picture on page 47, guess what we are going to talk about.

Whether our answers coincide, let us read the text on page 47.

Today in the lesson we will talk about the primitive world. But let's take a look at the keywords of the lesson first.

(slide "Keywords")


  • Epoch

  • Primitive world

  • The ancestral home of man

  • Civilization

  • Tribe

  • Morality

Let's read the conversation between the computer and Anyuta.

- Humanity took its first steps more than 2 million years ago. The era of the Primitive world can be called "the childhood of mankind" - began the story Computer.

- Why "first steps"? Are all primitive people just learning to walk ?! - Anyuta was surprised.

- Let's draw conclusions:

1) Flocks of ancient people: without clothes and fire, they eat fruits, roots and small animals.
2) Communities of ancient people: use clothes and fire, live in caves, hunt.
3) The early community of modern humans: collective hunting, bow and arrow, simple dwellings.
4) Communities of modern people: they grow plants, tame animals, build houses, clay dishes.

- Now let's check ourselves what we learned in the lesson!

Slide " Insert the missing words "

The era of the primitive world is the time of the appearance of the first people and their dispersal across the planet.

In the conditions of a primitive society, people united in unions - tribes, which consisted of clans that had common ancestors. Only a person of his own kind and tribe was considered a real person who cannot do evil.

Slide

Select the features of primitive man, in which he differed from animals.

Walked on two legs, lived in a cave, made tools, went hunting, dressed in animal skins, was not afraid of fire, developed, invented something new, had movable dexterous limbs, communicated with the help of speech, could foresee, predict the results of his actions.

Play the song "If there were no schools"

(slide "Lesson name")

Why do you guys think we listened to the song today?

The word "school" has more than one meaning ...

Another "school" is some kind of test passed by a person.

Can we say that a person went through a certain school of life, enduring hunger, cold, surviving in the ancient world?

But after going through difficulties, the main thing is to remain human.

How was kindness manifested in the primitive world?

Lesson summary."Free microphone"

What did you find difficult, incomprehensible?

What, in your opinion, seemed the most interesting?

D / s repeat the theme of the ancient stone age,

The primitive (pre-class) era in the development of mankind covers a huge time interval - from 2.5 million years ago to the 5th millennium BC. NS. Today, thanks to the works of archaeological researchers, it is possible to restore almost the entire history of the emergence of human culture. In Western countries, its initial stage is called differently: primitive, tribal society, classless or egalitarian system.

What is the era of the primitive world?

They appeared in different territories at different times, so the boundaries that delineate the primitive world are very blurred. One of the largest anthropologists interested in primitive history - A.I. Pershits. He proposed the following division criterion. The scientist calls societies that existed before the appearance of classes apopolitical (that is, those that arose before the emergence of the state). Those that continued to exist after the emergence of social strata were synpolite.

The era of the primitive world gave birth to a new species of man, which was different from the previous Australopithecus. could already walk on two legs, and also use a stone and a stick as tools. However, this was where all the differences between him and his ancestor ended. Like Australopithecus, a skilled person could only communicate using shouts and gestures.

The primitive world and the descendants of the Australopithecus

After a million years of evolution, the new species called Homo erectus was still very little different from its predecessor. He was covered with hair, and his body parts looked like monkeys in everything. He also still looked like a monkey in his mannerisms. However, Homo erectus already possessed a large brain, with the help of which he mastered new abilities. Now man could hunt with the created tools. New tools helped primitive man to butcher animal carcasses and hew wooden sticks.

Further development

Only thanks to the increased brain and the acquired skills, a person was able to survive the ice age and settle in Europe, Northern China, and the Indian subcontinent. About 250 thousand years ago, or homo sapiens first appeared. From this time on, primitive tribes began to use animal caves for habitation. They settle in them in large groups. The primitive world begins to take on a new look: this time is considered the era of the birth of family relations. People of one tribe are beginning to be buried according to special rituals, their graves are surrounded by stones. The finds of archaeologists confirm that a man of that era was already striving to help his relatives in diseases, sharing food and clothing with them.

The role of fauna in human survival

In the primitive era, the environment, namely the animals of the primitive world, played an important role for the evolution, development of hunting and animal husbandry. Many long-extinct species belong to this category. For example, woolly rhinos, musk oxen, mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, cave bears. The life and death of human ancestors depended on these animals.

It is reliably known that primitive man hunted woolly rhinos already about 70 thousand years ago. Their remains were found on the territory of modern Germany. Some animals did not pose a particular danger to primitive tribes. For example, despite its impressive size, the cave bear was slow and clumsy. Therefore, the primitive tribes easily defeated him in battle. Some of the first tamed animals are: the wolf, which gradually became a dog, and a goat, which gave milk, wool and meat.

What was evolution actually preparing man for?

It should be noted that the multimillion-dollar evolution of man prepared for survival precisely as a hunter and gatherer. Thus, the main goal of the evolutionary process was the primitive in man. The new world with its class stratification is a completely alien environment for people.

Some scholars compare the emergence of a class system in society with expulsion from paradise. At all times, the social elite could afford better living conditions, better education and leisure. Those who belong to the lower class are forced to be content with minimal rest, hard physical labor and modest housing. In addition, many scientists are inclined to believe that morality acquires very abstract features in a class society.

Decline of the primitive communal system

One of the reasons why the primitive world was replaced by class stratification is the overproduction of material products. The very fact of excessive production testifies to the fact that at a certain moment society reached a high level of development for its time.

Primitive people learned not only to produce tools and household items, but also to exchange them among themselves. Soon leaders began to appear in primitive society - those who could control the process of producing products. The class system gradually began to replace it. Some primitive tribes already by the end of the prehistoric period were structured communities in which there were chiefs, assistant chiefs, judges and military leaders.

In a primitive society, people united in unions tribes and clans which consisted of of people who had common ancestors. A real person who cannot do evil was considered only his own person. cities and tribe .

2. Using your knowledge from the sections of the course "The World Around", circle those features of primitive man, in which he differed from animals.

  1. I walked on two legs.
  2. Lived in a cave.
  3. Manufactured tools.
  4. I went hunting.
  5. He dressed in animal skins.
  6. I was not afraid of fire.
  7. Developed, came up with something new.

5. Look carefully at the pictures. What do you think primitive people would have done? Draw iri write the continuation of this story from the point of view of primitive morality.

Primitive people seized the found boy from a foreign tribe, tied him up and brought him to their village. After that, they tied him to a tree so that the prisoner would not escape anywhere. In the evening, when the whole tribe gathers in the center of the village, this strange boy will be sacrificed to the spirits.

Continue the sentence.

Position (opinion) I wouldn't want to be treated the same way captured and sacrificed.
Argument (s) because people should not harm each other, but should help, even strangers.

Think about how you, a person of the XXI century, would act in a similar situation. Draw or write a continuation of this story from the point of view of a modern person.

If I saw an injured boy, I would call an ambulance and then call the boy's parents to inform them of the incident. Then I would have stayed to hold him until the ambulance or his parents arrived. I would try my best to help him.

Make a conclusion.

Position (opinion) I believe that modern people should help each other, especially in difficult situations.
Argument (s) because you need to treat people the way you want them to treat you. People should be kinder to each other.
