Slide 2: Introduction
Definition: Human Biocultural and Social Evolution refers to the interplay between biological
changes (biological evolution) and cultural developments (cultural evolution) in human history.
Understanding this evolution provides insight into how humans adapted to their
environment, formed societies, and developed cultures, laying the foundation for contemporary
societies.
Definition: Biocultural Evolution is the process by which biological traits interact with cultural
traits, shaping the evolutionary path of both individuals and societies.
Key Points:
-Human biological evolution involves changes in physical and genetic traits.
-Cultural evolution encompasses the development of languages, technologies, social norms, and
belief systems.
-Biocultural evolution shows how these processes influence each other, leading to unique
human adaptations.
Overview: lagay ditto ng picture or smth about sa simplified timeline of human evolution,
highlighting major hominid species and their characteristics.
Key Points: (ditto may pictures…. Lagay mo si xander ford nung marlou era HAHAH)
-Australopithecus (4-2 million years ago): Bipedal hominids, small brain size.
-Homo habilis (2.4-1.5 million years ago): Tool usage and increased brain size.
-Homo erectus (1.9 million-143,000 years ago): Fire usage, migration out of Africa.
-Homo sapiens (200,000 years ago-present): Complex language, advanced tool-making, cultural
diversity.
Slide 5: Social Evolution
Definition: Social Evolution refers to the development of human societies from small, nomadic
groups to complex, organized civilizations.
Key Points:
-Hunter-Gatherer Societies: Small groups, nomadic lifestyle, basic tools.
-Agricultural Revolution: Transition to farming, permanent settlements, surplus food.
-Industrial Revolution: Mechanization, urbanization, modern economic systems.
-Information Age: Digital technology, globalization, interconnected societies.
Slide 8: Conclusion
Summary: I-recap ang main points discussed in the presentation, emphasizing the
interconnectedness of biological and cultural evolution in shaping humanity.
Importance: Highlight the importance of studying Human Biocultural and Social Evolution for
understanding our past, present, and future as a species.
