Aristotle
According to Aristotle, He is a creature whose destiny is to live in the spiritual and physical worlds.

According to Aristotle, He is made up of a material body and a spiritual soul.
Human
____________ can be used to satisfy man’s material world.
Science and Technology
According to him, the way human beings do things is by making rational choices. Individual choose specific actions or scientific investigation that are most in line with their personal preferences, hence the introduction of rational choice theory, which is used to model decision making

Use Language and Symbol
What characteristic of humans that evolved over time indicates that early records showed that humans evolved from four-legged species to ____________ individuals.
Walking Upright
What characteristic of humans that evolved over time says that climbing trees and walking on the ground to gather food and find shelter helped humans become flexible.
Walking Upright
What characteristic of humans that evolved over time indicates that the changes in the physical characteristics of humans were brought about by adaptation to the changing environment.
Walking Upright
What characteristic of humans that evolved over time indicates that Early humans used stone, wood, bone, ivory, and metals, and they also learned to produce and use fire in order to survive.
Use Different Tools
These tools were used in hunting and fishing to provide food.
Use Different Tools
The development of agriculture, animal domestication, and the adoption of permanent settlements has led to the utilization of metal
Use Different Tools
What characteristic of humans that evolved over time says that early humans, who were hunter-gatherers, started domesticating animals. They settled in one place, learned to tame animals, and domesticated them.
Domestacation of Animals
They raised animals for clothing, medicine, and shelter.
Domestacation of Animals
The first animals to be domesticated were goats, followed by sheep, and then chickens.
Domestacation of Animals
Larger animals, like oxen and horses, were domesticated for plowing and transportation. These were also known as __________
Beasts of Burden
As early as humans spread to different environments and changed their diet, they evolved body shapes that helped them survive in different climates.
Changes in the Human Body
Their body shapes adjusted to their environment
-plant-based food, which requires a large digestive tract
-long legs for them to travel longer distances
-narrow bodies to help them stay cool through the hot climate
-short, wide bodies to conserve heat in a colder climate
Changes in the Human Body
In the present, human bones are smooth and weaker. Human activities become less physically demanding, and diets change to cooked meat and other processed foods.
Changes in the Human Body
The evolution of a larger and more complex human brain that can process and store information helped the early humans in their social interactions and encounters with familiar habitats. The ability of an organism to process information about its environment is a driving force behind evolution.
Complexity of the Brain
The more information the brain receives and the faster it can process the information, the more adequately it will be able to respond to environmental challenges and the better its chances of survival.
Complexity of the Brain
Early humans also depended on social life, like sharing food, caring for infants, and building social networks to help them survive.
Social Life
A family can be defined as a socially recognized group (usually joined by blood, marriage, cohabitation, or adoption) that forms an emotional connection and serves as an economic unit of society.
