Early Hominini
In 1974 they found another skeleton, other than "Ardi" it's name was "Lucy".She was discovered by "Donald Johanson"he is an american paleoanthropologist. Donald named her after the song, by the "Beetles" called "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".Also, Several hundred pieces of bone representing about 70% of the skeleton of a female Australopithecus was found and put together(Lucy).The skeleton shows evidence of small skull capacity of apes and bipedal upright walk akin to human. Lucy and the exhibit were returned to Ethiopia on 7 May 2013. After "Lucy" came another called "Homo Habilis"it is a species of the Hominini tribe.The Homo Habilis lived from over 2 to 1.5 million years ago. Also a "Homo Habilis is the first toolmaker,rocks were pretty handy to them they used it to sharpen,cut their food and many other things. Also H. habilis became the ancestor of H. "H. Erectus". Speaking of homo erectus they were the first to run,discover fire,cook meat and to have a bigger brain.Plus cooked meat affects the brain because it keeps them hydrated and gives them carbohydrate. After the H.Erectus was "H.Sapien" and the "Homo SApien was the wise man and wise man means, since they had a bigger brain they knew more and know-ed more!
Archaeologist as detectives
Archaeologist are social scientists who study how people lived in an earlier time by examining the remains of what those people made and used.They made like: tools, art, pottery, buildings, and written documents.Many archaeologists today work for universities or museums. They often travel to the location where ancient people lived to search for remains and artifacts that will provide information about what early life was like.Most archaeologists were field workers at dig sites, or excavations, at ancient cities. Often these excavations were motivated by the search for treasures or works of art that could be sold.
Tools of the Craft
Archaeologists often search for years before they find a site for a dig.To find things like tools or H.Habilis,H.Erectus,H.Sapien or many other things like TOOLS! And not only archaeologist can find "Artifacts".Example:The famous cave paintings of Lascaux, France, were first discovered in 1940 by a group of teenagers chasing their runaway dog!
