To answer this question, we need to identify the ways in which Stone Age humans adapted to their environment. Let's analyze each description and drag the correct ones to the box:
- Made stone tools: Stone Age humans used tools made of stone to help them with tasks such as hunting, cutting, and digging. This adaptation allowed them to manipulate their environment to their advantage.
- Farming for more food: Although agriculture emerged later in history during the Neolithic period, Stone Age humans practiced some form of early farming through techniques like slash-and-burn agriculture, which involved clearing land by cutting and burning vegetation before planting crops.
- Created public works to help everyone: Public works, such as the construction of water management systems or communal structures, are more commonly associated with settled civilizations rather than Stone Age hunter-gatherer societies. This description does not apply to Stone Age humans.
- Burning fires at night: Stone Age humans used fire for various purposes, including warmth, protection from predators, cooking, and as a source of light during nighttime. This adaptation was crucial for their survival and had a significant impact on their ability to thrive in different environments.
- Hunting in larger groups: Hunting in groups was a common strategy among Stone Age humans. By coordinating their efforts, they increased their chances of successfully capturing prey and ensuring a steady food supply.
- Domesticated animals for a source of food: Domestication of animals, such as dogs, goats, or sheep, occurred during later periods in history and is not typically associated with the Stone Age. Stone Age humans relied primarily on hunting and gathering for their food.
Based on the explanations, the correct adaptations that can be associated with Stone Age humans are:
- Made stone tools
- Burning fires at night
- Hunting in larger groups
