Paragraph
Prehistoric ancestors have contributed greatly to humans today to become who we are now.
Prehistoric ancestors have contributed greatly to humans today because they have traditionally passed down some physical abilities. Homo erectus gradually developed what is now our language 2 million years ago so we have the ability and knowledge of communication. They needed some form of communication to help on another to survive and because of that we depend on it to help one another as well. Our ancestors like Lucy also helped us develop the ability to walk upright which makes it easier to carry objects. As well they also developed opposable thumbs so it is easier to grip and hold objects. This contributes to our ability to carry,hold, and move objects for work and leisure purposes.
Prehistoric ancestors have contributed greatly to humans today because they created tools. Homo habilis developed uni facial tools like bristle brushes and rocks to make tasks less work to do. Homo erectus however developed bi facial tools that served the same purpose. Also homo erectus introduced fire to burn, cook, and heat with. Prehistoric ancestors have contributed greatly to humans today because they taught us art. They painted for religious and leisure purposes as a hobby. They also created 3d techniques to make it more realistic. Along with carving as another art style so we could have self expression. Some art symbols were used as a communication.
Thanks to our prehistoric ancestors we are able to do the many amazing tasks we can do today.

Annalyzing and taxonomy of thinking 3-6-09
Under taxonomy of thinking the Cave art project would have to fit under the application category best. It compares artists from the stone age to modern art and how our knowledge of art has changed over time to transfer knowledge learned in one situation to another. We demonstrate by making our project to show visually what the art looked like and picture how they made it. We used the story's information as a guide of information. We might even involve building and cooking along with other forms of creativity to express this information in our final products. Our final products would model what the cave art looked like and make you feel as if you were there. However many people believed that it would be easier to do a blogpost than a hands on project. They got done quicker but there was not quite as much thought put in as there probably would be with a hands on project like a song, a picture, a make believe advertisement, or poem. But the reading assignment seemed to help gather thoughts to comprehend the main idea.
