Deserted Island

If I was shipwrecked on a deserted island, my first task was to find food and water.  If I saw some fruit high up in a tree what kind of tool would I try to create to get up and get it? I would try to build a ladder out of sticks and some vines or smaller branches for string to tie the sticks together. If I wanted to bring water back to the beach I would probably find a big log and with a sharp rock I would carve out some so if formed a bowl type object. I would bring it back to the beach and put it in a cooler place (some shade) and then I would make a bigger bowl and poor the water in to the bigger bowl and go back for more water and continue to do that until it was full.  When it got empty I would go get more and continue doing so or I could also use a coconut shell to get water back to the beach. I would use the same strategy of going back and refilling it . What tools would I try to create for short and long-term needs for living on a deserted island? I would try to make a latter to get up a tree to get coconut to eat or high up fruit. I would try to create some sort of spear to get fish. I would make a sharp stick to roast my fish if I could make a fire. I would make an axe to cut some wood for a fire. Posted by 22448 on 11/10/06; 3:22:59 PM from the Tellyse dept.

Homo Erectus

Homo erectus lived about 1.8 million -300 000 years ago. Homo erectus looked more like modern human more that the earlier humans.  They are about as tall as we are, but they were stronger. They lived in Africa, Asia and Europe. They also had a bigger brain then homo habilis, but they could not talk. Other evidence indicates that “ upright man” had learned how to make fire.
