MONTESSORI THE GREAT LESSONS : The Lower Paleolithic Period



 The Coming of Humans



The Second Inter Glacial Period

 These were known as "true man".
They lived by hunting and fishing and
mostly ate raw meat. Their only tool,
a simple chiseled stone, was called
a flintstone. They walked 
with an erect posture.



 There were many mammals in this period,
including rhinoceros, elephants, hippopotami, and
saber-toothed tigers. During the warm periods,
 many types of trees developed. During the cold
periods, however, only the conifers developed.
