Explanation:

1) The farmers, Royalty, nobility and common folk made different kind of barters, this way the benefit between all the people involved was mutual, the farmers providing the population with food, and the farmers receiving benefits or daily life items.

2) Fire control was the most important prehistorical knowledge the humans could learn, it worked almost for everything, improving the quality of life and lifespan index.

3) The government in old times was authoritarian and absolutist mainly, so all the power, economical benefits, and allocation of resources, were a government responsibility.

4) The pyramid is the most appropriate one, the former social structure was more segregated and differentiated, having at the top of the pyramid to the wealthiest and powerful people, that was not much, and the high majority of population on the bottom floors of it, today we can still see a similar social structure, however today tries to be more equally distributed.

5) ¨a community uses to make and give out goods and services¨ almost fully describes a basic argument of how Economy worked and works on these days.

6) The different archeological studies have told us the truth regarding the Human origins, The first hominids were located in the Ancient Continent, Africa, where the evolution process was succeeded in its maximum expression.

7) Meat, furs, and skins were extremely important in the early civilizations, the harsh weather conditions, and the lack of resources to counter it, made these ¨daily items¨ as fundamental ones, without saying that the meat was their first and elemental part of their diet.
