    Philippine prehistory is the study of unwritten history through careful analysis and

    observation of artifacts and fossils in order to understand the formation of the


    Philippine and the development of the early Filipino people and their culture.
    There are many reasons for the significance of studying Philippine prehistory in
    the present period, among them are for the simple reasons that are stated earlier
    which is to be able to understand or gain knowledge on how the archipelago was
    formed and how the Filipino people and its current culture were created.
    Having knowledge on how the Philippine archipelago was formed or at least how
    it may have been in the pre-historic era is important. A significant part of it would
    have to come from the fact that the archipelago we know today is not the same of
    how it was in the past based on fossils and artifacts that we discover. There are
    evidences of there being more land available for our ancestors and that land
    bridges even existed. This would mean that the terrestrial landscape today is
    different from the prehistoric eras. It is important to have knowledge about such
    things in the past because we might be able to garner enough clues to figure out
    which kind of events caused the terrain to shift from before to what it is now.
    Knowing the lay of the land and how it responds to certain events and how it
    changes is important as it may become beneficial or it may prove to be most
    helpful when trying to avoid calamities. An example of this would be the effects of
    climate change to the different terrains of the Philippines and to the habitats and
    survival of many species that dwell within in. Often enough, knowledge of past
    can help us in the present on how to predict about potential impacts of
    environmental change on biodiversity or the sustainability of our agricultural
    industry.
    Similarly, studying of Philippine prehistory in order to gain knowledge on our
    Filipino ancestors is also important as it would help us establish and own national
    identity. Part of being or becoming a proud nation is being able to solidify and
    confirm that the nation is an actual solid cohesive group of peoples, aside from
    believing in the same principles and having the same loyalty to the same flag.
    This would result into a big boost towards the Filipino which they can be proud of
    and can be a source of pride in establishing national
    1. Write a short reflection (300 words or more) of our prehistoric heritage based on
