                 1 2     What are the methods used to measure historical time, and
                         why is it important?
                         There are some people who are trained to uncover the

                         secrets left beneath the Earth’s surface and help us learn
                         about the past. Name any three of them.
                 3       The early communities often settle down near the rivers.
                 4       Why?
                 5       How early humans supported each other by living together?

                         Do you agree material sources are less important towards
                         collection of historical facts than written sources. Give your
                         logic.
                 6       What could be the reasons behind the continued use of
                         traditional calendars for religious and cultural events even
                         though the common era calendar is widely adopted
                 7       Oral histories and inscriptions on monuments enhance our
                         understanding of early humans life. Justify the statement?
                 8       Given that every object or structure tells a story and is like
                         a piece in a jigsaw puzzle, how do historians ensure they
                         accurately reconstruct historical events from these diverse
                         sources?
                         Analyses the impact of the discovery of fire on early human
                 9
                         societies. Write a brief essay discussing how fire influenced
                         the diet, safety and social structure of early humans.
                         Analyses the challenges faced by early humans in adapting
                 10
                         to changing environmental conditions and the strategies
                         they employed to ensure their survival. How did these
                         adaptations contribute to the development of more
                         complex societies over time?
