Objectives
Hominids Artifacts Culture Limited evidence Nomads Agriculture Domestication Hunter-gatherers

Scientists use the skeletons and other artifacts which remain to study early hominids and their cultures
Use advanced technologies to date artifacts
Use the limited evidence provided and their knowledge of geography and climate to make an educated guess about the prehistoric world.
