What do the artifacts tell us about the lives of early humans?

   My group, Group Three examined artifact two sculptures of bison found in France deep inside a cave. We made a hypothesis that these sculptures were made by early humans to show respect to bison because they very hard to catch. We also hypothesized these sculptures were made 15 to 20 thousand years ago because it's a fact that humans learn to craft out of clay 25 years ago. My group and I found out that scientists believe these sculpture might have been used for important ceremonies, such as a child had turned into an adult, because there was small footprints around the sculptures. These artifact sculpture tell us that early humans made ceremonies for children turned into adults. Another group examined this painting of many objects and pictures, this was found in Argentina. A interesting fact was when the scientists started singing their voices got louder than usual in a certain, which where they found the paintings. This tells us that early humans probably gathered here for celebration or something similar. This artifact tells us that early humans in Argentina painted pictures in gathering places.


   Artifacts tells us a lot of things about the early humans or also known as hominids. They could tell us about how hominids lived or what they believed in. Like some early humans worshiped plants and trees, so they probably lived near plants and trees instead of caves. We could find that by looking at where we found artifacts, so this is another thing artifacts can tell us about the lives of early humans. Some artifacts could be tools, such as painting tools, cutting tools, chopping tools, and more. Some tools are more advanced then others, that depends on the time period. As human brains got larger, they got smarter and created more modern items. We present humans know that because of the artifacts of early humans. 
    
    Artifacts could tells a whole lot about the lives of early humans. We just have to observe carefully. Someday our time might became a study unit way in the future. That would help future humans to learn more of their ancestors, but for now let us keep to our past. Knowing about the lives of early humans can help us live too, like learning what they did wrong, and how that happened so the same thing won't happen to us. We can only do that if we know what they did, and to do that we must learn from what that is left...... the artifacts!
