pg. 34 question 5


      What areas of life did Hammurabi's Code cover?
   5.  Hammurabi's code covers 282 specific laws about things like family relations, business     conduct, and crime.  The laws set different punishments for the rich & poor and men & women, and it protects women and children. The laws tell us about the Mesopotamians beliefs and what they valued. These laws included "an eye for an eye" and regulations of marriage, divorce, and punishments for all sorts of crimes.

We also started to take notes on the PowerPoint:
  • 200,000 years ago a human species emerged in equatorial Africa
  • 14,000 years ago, a "worldwide" human race existed
  • Earliest prehistoric age is the Paleolithic Age (Old stone age)
  • Neolithic Age (New Stone Age) was marked by advanced tool making and agriculture
  • initially humans were parts of migrating groups
