Document Summary
Lesson 7. 1: material culture: tools for survival - hunter gatherers. Identify the four main components associated with human survival, and identify how and why needs might vary among different t/i cultures. Identify how tools derived largely from plant materials are used for survival by subsistence hg cultures. Describe examples of tool design convergence and divergence among various hg cultures, and how they are used. Containers (carrying, cooking), instruments (spiritual and entertainment) Different materials available to different societies will affect what tools they can come up with but it is possible for two disparate cultures to come up with fairly similar tools using different materials. But: how much in uence to local resources have on the development of societies vs how much societies develop independently regardless of the available resources. 1) where basic survival needs are similar and well-de ned, there is cultural convergence toward the devising of similar material goods.
