Early Human and Prehistoric Cultures

Tutsis of Central Africa is known for their epic songs and poetry.

The economy of the South African Velds is heavily dependent on both mining (due to rich mineral deposits like gold and diamonds) and cattle rearing (due to the vast grasslands).

• The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature(ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of animals.
• Rules for nomenclature according to ICZN are 1)It consists of two parts one is the genus epithet and the other is species epithet 2)The genus name is always written first 3)The genus name must be capitalized 4)The species epithet is never capitalized 5)The entire two-part name must be written in italics
• Hence Homo sapiens is the correct depiction of ICZN because according to ICZN rules it has two parts one is genus epithet(Homo) and species epithet(sapiens), Both the parts are in italics, Genus name starts with a capital letter and species name starts with small later.
• So, the correct answer is 'Homo sapiens'

Humans belong to the Hominidae family.

• A hunter-gatherer is a human living in a society in which most or all food is obtained by foraging (collecting wild plants and pursuing wild animals).
• The energy required daily by hunter-gatherer humans was 2000 - 4000 kcal.
  
• So, the correct answer is ' 2000 - 4000 kcal'.

In ancient times, before modern technology, humans used trained animals (like horses) and birds (like carrier pigeons) to transport messages over distances.

Neolithic people perhaps devised the first pottery after the Ice Age ended, when humans turned from hunter-gathering to farming and animal husbandry.

The Neolithic people used polished stone axes called celts which were used to fell trees or shape wood.

• Microlith are stone artifacts of small size.
• They are usually made of flint or chert and were about a centimeter long and half a centimeter wide.

The cultural period that succeeded the Neolithic is called Copper Age and it lasted about 4500 BC- 3500 BC

In the Sangam age, women and upper higher class men wore two garments, the lower garment, and the upper garment and called Kalingam. They used cotton, silk, and wool to make dresses and the leaf garment was also very popularly used during that period. The ornaments were worn by both men and women. People bartered fish oil, edible yams, honey, ghee, deer meat and wine with rice.

The rock shelter site of Bhimbetka ranges from the Paleolithic period to the Historic period.

This is so because we do not find evidence to the linguistic development or to the use of script. We do not find any written records for the study of history of this period. 

Microliths were small , polished and sharp stone tools. They were marked for their fine edge. They were too small to be used by themselves and would have been set into wooden or bone handles to make composite tools. Microliths were formed from prismatic blades, using the sharp unmodified lateral edges as the cutting edge.
