History of Earth - Tuesday, Period 2
When the students entered into the Danger Shop today, they would find that it resembled a meadow outside a cave. Various humans (Well. Okay. Cro-magnons.) walked the meadows carrying primitive spears and bows.
They would also find their teacher covered in dirt and animal skins. Oh, and she just happened to be wrestling with a giant buffalo.And unlike the linked image, Jones is totally wearing a top. Once Jones had wrestled the creature to the ground the other primitive humans went in for the kill. Jones then stepped back as the tribe finished the job and addressed the students.
"We're going to jump ahead to early human development," she began. "I assumed you would rather skip ahead from dinosaurs to now unless you wanted to experience a frozen ice age. Previous students at my last school did not seem to appreciate the class. We are now in the paleolithic era where man began to develop tools for day to day life. While the Cro-magnons here are more known for their stone tools, they were also adept at using fibers and creating artwork. Think on that for a second. The creation of tools and use of fibers were done for survival but art is something else entirely. Certainly it was most likely used for communication or education but this is considered the first time that a species created such a thing differentiating themselves from the rest of the planet. This is a key developing factor in the evolution of humans. Creativity."
She gestured to the camp around them. "Today I would like you to visit various stations and attempt to use some of the tools of the tribe to better understand where your people came from and what they overcame."
