This document contains an assessment for a course on Science, Technology & Society. It includes questions about comparing prehistoric and modern humans, summarizing three prehistoric civilizations in 50 words each, and conducting a survey of 10 people to summarize their understanding of the Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze eras. The document provides background information on each era, including that the Paleolithic era involved stone tools, the Neolithic era involved permanent housing and domesticated crops/livestock, and the Bronze era replaced stone tools with metal tools and saw developments like writing and kingdoms.

2. HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS Name: Ralph Nathaniel A. Tecson Program/Year: 1st Year- BEED Subject: STS: Science, Technology & Society ___ CP No.: 0945 659 5647
A. Using the diagram below, compare and contrast the prehistoric human condition and the modern human condition. Point out important traits or attitudes that make them similar and different. (See rubric no. 3)
B. Make a 50-word discussion for each of the three prehistoric human civilizations and emphasize the importance of each civilization to the succeeding civilizations.
Paleolithic Era
This era is also known as the Stone Age. In this era, early humans show their craftsmanship and began to use stone tools for their daily living such as for hunting and gathering. Since they depend their food on hunting, they tend to move from place to place to find more resources for survival.
Neolithic Era
In the Neolithic era or also known as the new stone age, they started to build permanent homes by building small house and also villages, instead of having temporary shelter or being nomadic. They also learn to raise crops and domestic livestock instead of being dependent in hunting and gathering.
Bronze Era
The bronze era brings an end to the Stone Age as humans discover metal and used it to replace the stone version of tools for of its better quality. And they also invented the wheel, the first writing system, and as well as the rise of kingdoms and large societies.
C. Conduct a survey to ten people who are not studying in college right now. They can be professionals already or just ordinary people in your neighborhood. Ask them about their understanding on Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Era. Afterwards, make at least 50-word summary and two-sentence conclusion from the data of the responses you gathered. Take note to have documentations like photo or video to make sure that your work is not fabricated. The documentations will be submitted also. To avoid face-to-face contact in case your area is Covid19 hotspot, you can also make it through social media post and tag the people you have chosen to respond. Video recording and direct messaging are additional options. Just remember to instruct them on the premise that they should give self-level understanding without any references. (See rubric no. 4)
Summary: The tools in Paleolithic era were simple and made from pieces of stones, such as hand-axe. Fire is also used to harden weapons like spears. Neolithic era also called, New Stone Age. People learn to sharpen tools by grinding against rocks, and produce their own food. And in bronze age, they discover bronze by mixing tin and copper for weapons and utensils.
Conclusion: This helps us to understand better on how people survive the past times where technology is not yet present. It also gave us an idea that humans evolve as the time passes. DOCUMENTARIES
