Mesopotamia
The civilization changed fast. I think that because all that happened was war and empires falling and rising. Rules changed and new things where built a lot more than that was also changed for example the hanging gardens was made and the Ishtar gate was made. New inventions where made. In the Babylonian empire for the first time the laws where made for everyone to listen to. Also the king in the Babylonian empire made a new god. The Babylonian god. That god was most important out of all the other gods. In the Assyrian empire they where the first to make battering rams. It was made for moving things. Such as towers and heavy things. The Neo-Babylonians made the first sundial. The sundial could say the time by using the sun. The sundial helped them realize about how 60 minutes is 1 hour and how the week has 7 days in it. Some patterns that I see with the early humans and Mesopotamia is that they both invented a lot of useful things that helped them with life. They both also traveled a lot for example in Mesopotamia people invaded a lot of other places. Early humans traveled and stayed at some places for a little while and then continued traveling.

Early Humans
It all started with the first hominid group, Australopithecus Afarensis. They were actually quite hairy. However, they already stood one two feet. They were shorter then the other hominid groups. Their transportation was walking. They walked to get to places. The second Hominid group which is, Homo Habilis. They became a bit less hairy though still quite hairy. They also could walk on two feet. They became a bit taller than the last Hominid group. Their transportation was also on legs. They also find sharp things to peel off animal skin after the hunted it down.Peeling off the animal skin made getting all of the skin off much easier. The third group of hominids, is homo Erectus. In that group they became taller. the tallest they could get could be around the size of us modern humans. They also got pretty handy with fire so they could travel quite far. They also had more complex tools to make shelters. They were also the first group to migrate out of Africa. They traveled to Asia, and Europe. Then there is the fourth hominid group, Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis. They had less hair and also traveled. They also had the complex tools they also lived in caves and they could make fireplaces too. They also made spears for hunting. Spears made the hunting life a lot easier. The fifth Hominid group is Homo Sapiens Sapien. They were the last hominid group. They illustrated on the walls of animals. They also were the first musicians. They also had much less hair. They looked like us in these days. They had bows and arrows too. They still lived in caves. The Hominid groups changed quite fast. They already could stand on two feet with the first Hominid group. By each group they also get much less hairy. The first Hominid group started walking on two feet. The second started using sharp tools such as rocks to peel off animal skin. The third Hominid group already cooked their foods and started making more complex tools. The fourth Hominid group started living in caves they also made spears. The fifth Hominid group they started illustrating on the cave walls. The difference between now and then is that we have cities and towns. They didn't. We also have computers, i pads, phones, and so much more. They didn't have all that. They also looked a lot different than us. They were shorter and more hairy. We are very different compared to the past hominid groups.
