EARLY HUMAN
In early days, human life was very hard. They lived
in caves, wrap animal skin and tree leaves over their body and hunt animals for
food.
Life style and food of early humans
Early humans lived in jungle
and were afraid of bigger and stronger wild animals.
Earlier they had no house to
live in and they climbed trees or hide themselves behind the stones. But it
could provide them security from wild animals, rain, and winter and sun heat.
As food and clothes is the
basic necessity of humans, they started wore tree leaves and animal skin over
their body to protect themselves from cold and heat.
But they needed food also to
live. In search of food, they had to go from one place to another. Earlier,
they used to eat fruits from tree or roots of plants. Then they started hunting
animals for food, for example the buffalos. Discovery of tools

It was the first tool he had started using for his need. they improved it by making with bones and started using tools not only for hunting but also for cutting, digging and sewing.
They kept on improving
their tools with time and requirements. They found that if they tied a sharp
stone to a long piece of wood, they could throw it to a wild animal at a longer
distance and they did not require go near to kill.
Discovery of Fire
It took millions of
years for early humans to be civilized and during this period they did a lot of
efforts to improve themselves. They do not know how to grow crops in fields and finding food was not
easy.
Settlement of life
Life in jungle caves was very difficult for early humans as they regularly required to go far off river bank
for drinking water. As water is the essential element for human life so, he
decided living near river bank. Now they could get water easily and could use
it for their various activities. They also knew that all animals come to river
banks for drinking water, where they could be hunted easily.
The fishes in river were their best food.
Discovery of farming
For farming, they used stones to dig the soil first. Later on they improved their tools using wood. Now they could give proper shape to their tools that were made up of wood and stones.
