Early Ways of Life
Settlers
Settlers discovered how to tame animals such as sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs. They used the wool of sheep to spin into thread and wove the thread into cloth. They also used goats and cattle for milk. They found that they could plant seeds from their favorite foods to grow a crop. Because these settlers didn't have to hunt animals or search for plants, they had more time to discover new ways of doing things. They made baskets out of reeds and jars and pots out of clay.
Nomads
Nomads are people who wander from place to place following game and searching for berries and nuts. Because they moved around, they built portable shelters. They wore animal skins and used the bones of the animals for tools.
