Adaptation and Effects on Nature
People used certain survival measures as they migrated from Africa to cooler regions. They used animal pelts to make clothing and built fires, which they frequently kept going throughout the winter to stay warm. They also employed advanced equipment like spears and bows to hunt huge animals successfully. Mammoths and enormous kangaroos are among the huge species that became extinct as a result of these changes and the various climates. Hunters had little to eat as there were fewer large animals in the area.
When humans constructed semi-permanent houses, they began to use the land for purposes other than hunting and self-defense. Rather than constantly migrating, they established themselves and made use of the local natural resources. These sporadic groups served as the model for the earliest settlements and agricultural endeavours.
Homo Sapiens and Early Human Migration
Homo sapiens, the ancestors of modern humans, originated between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. It is estimated that they first used language 50,000 years ago. The first people began to migrate out of Africa between 70,000 and 100,000 years ago. Humans are unique because no other species that we are aware of has expanded, adapted to, and moved several locations on Earth. This has greatly impacted the ecology and history.
In this article, let us take a deep dive into the early human migration and homo sapiens.
