Before civilization: the prehistoric era
PREHISTORIC- the period before history was recorded through written documents. 
Compared with the age of the human race, civilization is a very recent development.

The origins and "ages" of human beings
The beginning of the prehistoric era can be only approximately dated, for prehistory began with the human race itself. Excavations of fossils indicate that the earliest humanlike species probably appeared in East Africa.
PALEOLITHIC AGE- this era began with the earliest human types.
NEOLITHIC AGE-  

Hammurabi's laws

1.)  If a man has borne false witness in a trial, or has not established the statement that he has made, if that case be a capital trial, that man shall be put to death.
This means that if you lied in court you would be put to death. This seams a little harsh to me because now if you commit treason you go to jail.

2.) If a man has stolen goods from a temple, or house, he shall be put to death; and he that has received the stolen property from him shall be put to death.

This is saying that if you steal you are put to death and if you buy stolen property you are put to death. This seems really unfair for the person who buys the stolen goods because they might not have known that the items were stolen.

3.)  If a man has stolen a child, he shall be put to death.

I picked this one because it is the only one that makes sense. I think that you should be put to death if you kidnap a child, especially if you hurt the child.

Before Civilation

Today in west civ we talked about time before civilation. The human sepsis started in southwestern Africa. 14,000 years ago a worldwide human race existed. First humans were part of migratory groups which hunted, fished, and gathered plant for food. The agricultural revolution was a shift from hunting and gathering to more permanent settlements centered on agriculture. That's all for today thanks for reading.

Review of the Movie

On Friday in west civ we talked about what we thought of the movie. To me it was a little longer that I would have liked it to be but it had a good purpose. It made me feel sad and sorry for the people who live like that but I don't really like those kind of movies. The movie made me feel thankful for what I have and where I live.

First Day of West Civ

Today in western civ we had a really short class, we just went over what we will be doing in west civ and how to do a blog post. I would of rather been in my old class (section 1) but I will make it work. At least I have Mr. Schick! I have to get used to using this blog and not my human geo one. I am looking forward to a new class and new semester.
