| 10690374593 | Why two legs? Theory One | Needed to stand in tall grasslands in order to see both prey and predator | 29 | |
| 10690374594 | Why two legs? Theory Two | Freed up front legs for other activities (making tools/weapons) | 30 | |

| 10690374599 | Portable Art | decorated materials that can be moved or carried (tool etchings, hides, venuses (fertility statues) | 35 | |

| 10690374642 | Beginning of Settlements in Middle East | -grew wheat, barley, millet (grain crops) -sheep 1st animal to be bred for food -6,000 BC horses tamed and ridden | 42 | |
| 10690374643 | Effects of Agriculture | surplus of food, villages freed from farming and allowed to specialize in other areas, writing follows population explosion (history starts) | 43 | |
| 10690374644 | Why farm?: V. Gordon Childe (1940) | A vast drought occurred at the end of the last ice age and forced man to settle near water sources | 44 | |
| 10690374645 | Why farm?: Robert Braidwood (1960s) | people evolved technologically so it was inevitable | 45 | |
