Prehistoric Man 8/13/07

Prehistoric men are the early humans. They lived after the dinosaurs. They were men who didn't wear clothes. They had fur! Some walked upright. Some walked on four legs. Homo hablis was one who walked upright. He also used tools. The tools were made of stones, bones, and hard things.

Some prehistoric men hunted mammoths. Mammoth hunters used spears to hit the mammoth. Some mammoth hunters hunted woolly mammoths. They lived where it was really cold.
