WORLD HISTORY
Prehistory
The oldest first human-like hominid to walk
upright is the ‘Australopithecus’.
Australopithecus lived between 4 million and
2 million years ago. Australopithecines had
32 teeth, like modern humans but a much
smaller brain than later hominids.
The next hominid is, ‘Homo habilis’. Homo habilis lived
from about 2.3 million to 1.6 million years ago. Their slightly
larger brain size likely means that they were more intelligent.
It is believed they were the first
human-like creature to make stone
tools.
Example: stone hammers, spears, and
knives for hunting.

Homo erectus lived between 2 million and 1.6 million years
ago. Homo erectus had a very human-like walk and body
proportions. They were also the first
human species to have a flat face,
prominent nose, and sparse body hair.
Their brains were much larger than
their hominid ancestors. They are
thought to be the first human ancestor
to use fire. They hunted in large
groups, created art, and took to the sea
in basic watercraft.
The next hominid is the ‘Neanderthals’. These emerged
around 1 million years ago and lived in Eurasia until about
40,000 years ago. They created stone tools, used fire in stone
ovens, and crafted simple clothes, blankets, and ponchos.
They engaged in seafaring
through the Mediterranean, made
use of medicinal plants, and
found ways to treat severe
injuries. Neanderthals were
likely capable of speech.
The first modern humans found in Europe are
known as the ‘Cro-Magnon man’. They were
anatomically alike to modern humans and lived
about 48,000 to 15,000 years ago. They lived in
Europe. Cro-Magnon man lived in caves or
small huts in the forest. Long houses made of

stone or wood were also used for larger communities of 30-
100 people.
Agricultural Revolution
The Agricultural Revolution is regarded as a major event in
human history. People created advanced tools, farming
methods, and domesticated animals. Example: Horses, Dogs,
Goats, and Pigs.
Rising temperatures across the globe gave people longer
growing seasons. The land
would also have been drier,
making it easier to cultivate
wild grasses. This is a main
reason for the agricultural
revolution.
Civilization

social development and organization that is considered most

specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and

2. Egypt civilization
3. Indus river valley civilization
4. Chinese civilization
5. Greece civilization
6. Rome civilization

The Revolutions of 1848
The Revolutions of 1848 were a series of political disruptions
that took place throughout the continent of Europe. The
countries to find themselves in the focus of revolution
included France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Denmark, and the
Austrian Empire. The primary causes for these revolutions
stemmed from dissatisfaction
with the monarchies which were
at the helm of each country. The
citizens’ were tired of feeling
oppressed and controlled, and
there was a widespread demand
for democracy, versus a
monarchy.
Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain around 1760
and many of the technological innovations were of British
origin. Textiles were the
dominant industry of the
Industrial Revolution in terms of
employment, value of output
and capital invested. The textile
industry was also the first to use
modern production methods.
DONE BY: DIHEIN KARIYAWASAM 6
The Industrial Revolution marked a major turning point in
history and almost every aspect of daily life was influenced in
some way. As Industrial Revolution progressed, it had a
massive impact on almost every aspect of society. In many
ways, it improved society and made people’s lives easier.
