Inventions (Before 10,000BC) © 2014, KryssTal The first humans arose in the Great Rift Valley of Eastern Africa when Homo Habilis began to use tools. The use of tools is not unique to humans. Homo Erectus learnt to use fire. No other animal is known to use or has used fire. Modern humans date from about 400,000 BC when Homo Sapiens began to use cutting tools. Humans spread out overland from Africa to Europe and Asia. Around 30,000 BC, the ice age lowered the level of the sea. A key development was the domestication of the dog.

Film Noir Buff: Suedeheads The very word Suedehead refers to the grown-out crop i.e. a Skinhead haircut. The attire and the attitude that went with it were not very different from those of his immediate predecessor however; it was rather a variation on a theme. The Suedehead of the early Seventies wasn’t so much a separate entity as a continuation of the smart Skinhead who (in many cases anyway) had always worn his hair slightly longer than the ubiquitous number one of ’69. One has to remember when the Skinhead was yet to be christened as such; Peanuts (as they were somewhat inaptly called) still wore their hair in a college-boy style. Although a certain ‘Spartan branch’ of Mod was spotted in the London clubs by some as early as ’65, I’d say a change started to become more or less apparent when Mod started to die down in ’66. Now this is obviously where the pared down version of The Look takes shape. The Hard Mods changing slowly into ‘Peanuts’ This ‘new’ street smart look did appeal to him shall we assume.
