Timekeeping: Why We Need Clocks and Calendars
By David Christian, Big History Project, adapted by Newsela staff

species does it better than humans. People have more ways of marking time, and they do it more
precisely.

They tell people not to wake up at 2 am, when it is dark outside.
What's different about human time?

time outside. They could watch the positions of the Sun and the stars.
As early as 100,000 years ago, humans lived in South Africa's Blombos Cave. In the cave,
historians found pieces of ochre, an orange/red rock. The rocks had strange marks on them. It is
