Some five to ten years ago fashion trends and trends were dictated exclusively by designers and catwalk shows. Today they have a serious competitor - social media, and, in particular, Instagram. The resource has become exactly the platform on whose pages many beauty trends originate. However, not all of them take place in everyday life, and some are even shocking.
The new product, which blew up the network at the beginning of 2018, received mixed reviews from users. Some said it was stylish and feminine, others said it was tasteless and vulgar. Jeans with a zipper on the buttocks from the French brand Vatements will not only empty your wallet, but will also oblige you to a lot. This model would be appropriate only as an evening outfit for parties, but not as an everyday outfit - it looks too open and intimate.

@beewitth/Instagram.com To be honest, plagiarism is not a good thing. Or rather, not good at all. However, at the end of last year, knockoffs of Chanel, Versace and Gucci became so popular that they practically became a fashion trend.
@saba.hamburg / Instagram.com What are fakes for? famous brands received such adoration, many do not understand. Why buy an expensive artificial Prada replica if you can buy another model, but the original one? Remember: wearing a fake is bad manners.
Asymmetry, confusion and sloppiness have been elevated to fashionable status by Instagram users. Strangely belted raincoats, mixed-gender trench coats, a coat buttoned with the wrong buttons, non-standard combinations and awkward forms fill the news feed every day. Such negligence looks untidy and unpleasant. For some reason, Marshak’s lines about “the absent-minded man from Basseynaya Street” immediately come to mind.

The life of ancient man directly depended on the tribe, in which collective work was established. Everyone lived in shared housing because it was easier to survive that way. Having united into a community, they could pass on experience from older generations to younger ones, who, in turn, learned to hunt and make various tools from wood and stone. Skills and knowledge have been passed on from generation to generation for many centuries.
Every student should know the history of their ancestors. They can gain knowledge from textbooks that describe the life of ancient people. Grade 5 provides an opportunity to get acquainted with the first people and learn the features of their life.
The fight against natural elements has always interested man. Conquering fire was the first step towards the survival of mankind. Ancient people were first introduced to fire through volcanic eruptions and forest fires. People were not afraid of the scale of the disasters that befell them, but on the contrary, they wanted to use fire for their own benefit. Therefore, they learned to extract it artificially. Getting fire was enough labor-intensive process, so it was carefully protected and preserved. Ancient people made fire in the following way. They took a dry piece of wood, made a hole in it and twisted a stick in it until smoke appeared, followed by fire in the dry leaves near the hole.
The life history of ancient people has interesting facts. Scientists have found interesting finds: labor and many household items. They surprise you with their ingenuity. All items were made by ancient craftsmen from scrap materials: wood, bone and stone. The main tools of labor were considered to be objects made of stone. With their help, wood and bone were subsequently processed. Many tribes made war clubs, arrows, spears and knives from stone for protection. Deer and whale bone were used to make axes for making boats from a single tree trunk. The process of making one boat with such a tool could take up to three years. Dog bone needles were used to sew shoes and clothes.
The life of ancient man could not do without cooking. The first people made household items mainly from bushes and branches, leather, bamboo, wood, coconut shells, birch bark, etc. Food was cooked in wooden troughs into which hot stones were thrown. In more late period people learned to make dishes from clay. This marked the beginning of real cooking. The spoons were analogous to river and sea shells, and the forks were ordinary wooden sticks.
Fishing, hunting and gathering communities were integral part life of ancient people. This type of food production belongs to the appropriating form of farming. In ancient times, people collected fruits, bird eggs, larvae, snails, root vegetables, etc. This was predominantly the work of the women of the tribe. Men got the role of hunters and fishermen. While hunting, they used various techniques: traps, traps, drives and roundups. The purpose of the hunt was to obtain food and other means of subsistence, namely: horns, tendons, feathers, fat, bones and skins. They used sticks with sharp stone tips to catch fish, and later they began to weave nets.
The appropriating form of economy was replaced by the producing one. We can highlight one main one - cattle breeding. ancient people changed over time, from nomads they turned into sedentary ones, they stopped trying to leave the places of their settlements, and settled in them forever. Therefore, domestication and breeding of animals became possible. Cattle breeding arose from hunting. The first were sheep, goats and pigs, later cattle and horses. Accordingly, an indispensable pet was a dog, which guarded the house and was an ally on the hunt.
Women played a leading role in the development of agriculture, as they were engaged in gathering. The life of an ancient man changed radically when he mastered this type getting food. Trees were cut down from stone with axes and then burned. This freed up space in flattering areas. A digging stick with a sharp tip was an improvised hoe. The first people used it to dig the ground. Later they invented a shovel - a stick with a flat end, and a hoe - an ordinary branch with an appendage to which a sharp stone, a bone tip or an animal horn was tied. All over the world, ancient people grew in fields those plants that were native to their habitat. Corn, potatoes and pumpkins were grown in America, rice in Indochina, wheat in Asia, cabbage in Europe, and so on.
Over time, the life of ancient man forced him to master various crafts. They developed according to the conditions of the area where the first people lived and the availability of nearby raw materials. The earliest of them are considered to be: woodworking, pottery, leather dressing, weaving, processing of hides and bark. There is a guess that pottery arose from the process of weaving vessels by women. They began to coat them with clay or squeeze out recesses for liquids in the pieces of clay themselves.
The spiritual life of ancient man is visible in cultural heritage Ancient Egypt. This great civilization left a significant mark on the history of all mankind. Religious motifs permeate all the work of the Egyptians. The first people believed that human earthly existence was only a transition to this stage. This stage was not considered so important. From birth, people were preparing to leave for a more perfect other world. The reflection of the spiritual life of Ancient Egypt is reflected in painting and other forms of art.
Extraordinary and vibrant painting flourished in the state. The Egyptians were deeply religious people, so their whole life consisted of rituals, which can be seen in the themes of their paintings and drawings. Most of the paintings are dedicated to higher mystical creatures, glorification of the dead, religious rites and priests. To this day, the finds of these works are true examples of art.
Egyptian artists produced paintings in accordance with strict boundaries. It was customary to depict the figures of gods, people and animals strictly in frontal view, and their faces in profile. It looks like some kind of mystical scheme. Among the Egyptians, painting served as decoration for religious buildings, tombs and buildings where noble citizens lived. Also, the painting of Ancient Egypt is characterized by monumentality. In the temples of their gods, Egyptian artists created images that sometimes reached enormous sizes.
The painting of Ancient Egypt has a unique, unique style, incomparable to any other.
The ancient civilization of the first people captivates with its versatility and depth. This period is important stage in the development of all humanity.
Since traveling into the past seems unrealistic, there are certain things we will never know. But each recovered piece of ancient finds represents another piece of a larger puzzle that offers new insight into daily life our ancestors.
Using sticks, stones and other traces ancient life archaeologists have uncovered fascinating new information about what our ancestors ate, what unexpected diseases plagued them, how they raised their children and how they entertained themselves.
10. The ancient Chinese ate “ice cream”
Thanks to a little chemical trick, the Chinese enjoyed frozen confectionery almost 3,000 years ago. They noted that the minerals lower the freezing point of water, observing that melting saltpeter in water could cause it to freeze under certain conditions. Around 700 BC e. They used this discovery in cooking, making a frozen mixture of honey, milk and/or cream.
Ancient knowledge about ice cream gradually migrated to Persia about 2,500 years ago. The Persians added fruity or floral flavors such as rose to this sweet dessert. They called it "sharbet", which translates from Arabic as "fruit ice", later the name "sherbet" appeared.
9. Men suffered from prostate stones that caused excruciating pain

Near a lying skeleton at the ancient Al Khiday cemetery in Sudan, archaeologists found three mysterious egg-shaped stones. They decided that the stones were not funerary offerings and did not appear as a result of some geological processes. Instead, they were inside the person's body while he was alive. Most likely in the prostate.
Like kidney stones, prostate stones are the size of Walnut were the result of calcium accumulation inside the prostate. Nowadays, this requires surgery, so this man has most likely suffered. The discovery shows that prostate stone formation is not a modern disease, but that people have been suffering from such conditions for at least 12,000 years.

The Silk Road allowed for a wide exchange of goods between Asia, Europe and Africa, but it was also a route for the spread of disease. Recently, archaeologists discovered the first direct evidence of this at the Xuanquanzhi site in Dunhuang, China.
7. To start a family, women traveled to distant lands
Photo: The Telegraph
German archaeologists studied 84 skeletons buried between 2500 and 1650 BC, between the Stone and Bronze Ages. They found that most women walked at least 500 kilometers to start their families.
On the other hand, men died close to where they were born. This "patrilocal" trend continued throughout the Late Stone Age and Early Bronze Age. This discrepancy suggests that gender roles that we associate with ancient people require some re-evaluation. Women were not always confined to the home while men traveled, traded and plundered. Women traveled to distant lands, where they spread their ideas, shared culture and started families.
6. The Romans built huge libraries

During runtime construction project A Roman wall was discovered in Cologne, which researchers initially thought was part of an assembly hall before noticing a number of curious niches in it. It turns out they discovered the oldest library in Germany. In 38 BC the region was settled by the Romans. It had all the Roman amenities such as aqueducts, walls, sewers and spiritual nourishment in the form of mosaics and this library, which was built in the second century.
The 1,800-year-old library was two stories high and filled to the brim with several thousand parchment scrolls, possibly as many as 20,000. The volumes were compiled by Roman curators and, as with modern propaganda, may have been censored or selected for certain reasons.
5. Armenians made wine in giant jugs

People living in modern Armenia are experienced winemakers due to the fact that they have been practicing this business for more than six thousand years. Some Armenian families still have a relic associated with the region's grape past - a giant 910-liter clay vessel called karas.
They are no longer made in Armenia, but these huge containers once fermented wine from ancient grapes, to which human blood was sometimes added. These people really loved their wine, as evidenced by the discovery of a cellar with hundreds of caras, which contained 380,000 liters. Karas that have not been lost to history or used as coffins (seriously) can still be found in some people's basements and storage rooms because they are too large to move without destroying the karas itself. , nor the doorway.
4. Cave people used clever tricks to start a fire

New research shows that Neanderthals didn't rely on lightning to make fire; they could make it themselves. Just like the TV survivalists, Neanderthals hit a piece of pyrite with a piece of silicon to create sparks. Over time, they made a significant mental leap, realizing that some dull, inert stones could create fire.
Another 50,000-year-old find from the site Pech-de-l'Aze I in France suggests that Neanderthals were even smarter. Scientists found blocks of manganese dioxide that showed signs of friction. When the researchers ground the substance into powder, they found that it reduces the combustion temperature of wood from 350 degrees Celsius to 250 degrees Celsius.
3. The ancients loved boxing
Photo: history.com
People have always dreamed of a good fight. Boxing originated at least 5,000 years ago in Egypt and became an Olympic sport in Greece in 688 BC before being adopted by the Roman army as a way to improve military training. As a result, it has become a favorite spectator sport. They began to hold competitions where one could hear a strong word and succumb to the excitement.
Archaeologists have historical accounts as well as bronze statues depicting boxers, and now at Vindolanda Fort in England they have discovered an actual pair of 1,900-year-old boxing gloves. They are cut from leather and filled natural material to give them shock-absorbing properties. But they look more like knuckle guards than real gloves. These may have been sparring gloves, as the ones used for competition had a lethal metal edge.
2. People put dogs on leashes about 9,000 years ago 
Photo: The Independent
According to engravings from the Holocene era (12,000 years ago to the present), we have kept dogs on leashes for almost 9,000 years. Found in two places in Saudi Arabia, the engravings may be the oldest depictions of domesticated (i.e., leashed) dogs. In one image we see a hunter and a pack of dogs, some of them apparently on leashes, running after horse-like creatures. (Researchers say the dogs are similar to modern Canaan dogs).
It's a surprisingly complex human-dog relationship. The image suggests that the dogs may have been bred, trained and organized into large groups (21 dogs can be seen in one image) to assist their owners in hunting large prey.
1. Children accompanied the family on a hunt

Archaeologists can piece together complex scenes using very little evidence. In fact, they extrapolated the child-rearing practices of Homo heidelbergensis (the modern predecessor of humans) based on traces from 700,000 years ago. They usually disintegrate quickly, but those discovered at the Melka Kunture site in Ethiopia were preserved under a layer of volcanic ash.
The small prints probably belonged to children aged one or two years. The researchers also found tracks of adults, as well as various animals, all centered around a small watering hole. The remains of a killed hippopotamus and stone tools for cutting up the carcass were also discovered. This suggests that children were not left at home, but were taken on dangerous tasks such as hunting, probably so that they could observe and begin to learn these skills.
On the ground primitive people appeared more than 2 million years ago. Important distinctive feature The evolution of people from anthropoid apes was the appearance of stone tools - fragments of roughly processed stones. It is the presence of primitive tools that makes it possible for archaeologists to distinguish the remains of an ape from the remains of an ancient person. The era of the existence of primitive people began to be called the Paleolithic - the Old Stone Age.
Does it look like a fairy tale? In fact, the facts presented are pure reality.
The process of evolution turned prosimians into intelligent creatures. Numerous discoveries in Africa indicate that civilized humanity is just the smallest, most insignificant grain of the history of the existence of our species.
Primitive man walked the steppes of Africa approximately between 3.5-1.8 million years ago. Then these were small herds of semi-intelligent monkeys, which were called Australopithecus - southern monkeys. They were distinguished by a small brain, a large jaw, as well as an upright posture and the ability to hold a stick or stone in their hands.
Homo habilis appeared about 2.5 million years ago. He was distinguished by the fact that he could use the first stone tools on the farm. These tools could be used to skin a dead animal, dig up a root, or cut down a branch. It is the skilled man who is considered the first representative of the modern human race. Primitive people, being homo habilis, moved on two legs. Their flock consisted of a number of males and approximately the same number of females. They ate both plant and animal foods. None of them knew how to talk yet. Only with the help of primitive gestures and screams did they somehow communicate with each other.
The next round of evolution of primitive man is “straightened man” (homo erectus), i.e. Pithecanthropus. ape-man. In appearance this creature still resembled animals. It was hairy, with a large head, low forehead and large jaw. However, Pithecanthropus learned not just to pick up sticks and stones from the ground, but to make them himself. This is how sharp axes and scrapers appeared, which helped to cut skins and chop branches, roots, and also for hunting.
It was during the time of Pithecanthropus that primitive man learned to adapt to various climatic conditions of existence. Their sites were seen in China, Europe, and Africa. And the first site of Pithecanthropus was found on the island of Java.
It was during the period of the existence of Homo erectus that the glacier began to advance on the earth. The level of the World Ocean dropped and it began to get colder. Once scattered small groups of primitive people were forced to unite. This made it easier to hunt and protect yourself from dangers. Around the same period, fire was discovered, which prevented primitive man from freezing, and later even helped during hunting. Very slowly the Pithecanthropus community evolved. In this society, the elders began to teach the younger ones hunting and primitive crafts. These people already knew how to speak, but the speed of their development left much to be desired. Approximately about 1 million years passed until a new species of primitive man appeared in the world - Neanderthals.
Neanderthal - Neanderthal man (lat. Homo neanderthalensis or Homo sapiens neanderthalensis; in Soviet literature was also called a paleoanthropist).
The first people with protoanderthal features existed in Europe 350-600 thousand years ago. The last Neanderthals died out approximately 25-35 thousand years ago.
Neanderthals had many completely human features of structure and behavior, but they were still noticeably different from us - including the significant massiveness of the skeleton and skull and the level of evolution.
Finds from the pastArchaeologists learn about the past by excavating ruins of ancient structures or places where people lived long ago. They examine the objects they find to piece together a mosaic of the past.
People have always been interested in history, but for centuries they drew knowledge about antiquity mainly from myths and legends and did not particularly strive to find material evidence from past times. At the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries. Rich Europeans began to travel and collect antiques. They began searching for them in Greece and Rome, where ancient buildings and sculptures were in plain sight. But, for example, in the Middle East, many cities were completely buried underground until Europeans began searching for antiquities.
This head of a young woman (less than 4 cm in height), found in Brassanpuis (France), is perhaps the oldest sculptural portrait. It was made from ivory about 24,000 years ago.
People began to explore the past, and the first “archaeologists” began to wander the world. Based on clues from ancient books, they began excavations, extracting many ancient objects from the ground. Unfortunately, many of the finds were damaged, but the first archaeologists obtained remarkable information about ancient civilizations.
Archaeologists excavating an ancient settlement carefully study every layer of soil they remove in search of antiquities.
This woman's body was well preserved due to the high acidity of the peat bog where it was found. Human remains provide information about how people ate and what diseases they suffered from.
One of the first archaeologists was the German merchant Heinrich Schliemann (1822–1890). After carefully reading the epic poems “Iliad” and “Odyssey” by the ancient Greek poet Homer, which described two lost cities, Troy and Mycenae, he decided to go in search of these cities. In 1870, near the Dardanelles in Asia Minor, he discovered Troy. In 1876, Heinrich Schliemann discovered the fortified city of Mycenae buried in a hill. In addition, in Mycenae he found many golden objects, which testified to the countless treasures of ancient Greek civilization.
Archaeologists have also been able to trace the history of writing by discovering clay tablets with ancient writings. One of these finds was the library of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal, who ruled in the 7th century. BC. . This library contained 20,000 tablets with ancient inscriptions. When the texts were deciphered, scientists were able to read historical evidence about the life of disappeared civilizations and the social system of those times.
Today, archaeologists can use scientific methods to very accurately determine the age of an object. Without archaeologists, our knowledge of history would be very poor, and the lost cities of the ancient world might remain buried forever.
Every year a new layer of bark and sapwood grows on a living tree. When a tree is cut down, the layers of sapwood are visible in the cut as rings.
If you count the rings, you will know how old this tree is.
Unlike the tombs of other Egyptian pharaohs, all the buried treasures were preserved. The king wore a golden mask, and his mummy rested in three golden coffins, nested one inside the other. A separate room contained items that the pharaoh might need in the afterlife.
The first humanoid creatures, or hominids, appeared on Earth more than 4 million years ago. In different parts of Africa, the remains of apes called australopithecines were found. In Hadar (Ethiopia), the skeleton of one of the individuals was discovered, which was named “Lucy” (however, it later turned out that the skeleton belonged to a male). Scientists were able to find out that Lucy, although she resembled a chimpanzee, was upright and walked on two legs. These are characteristic signs of a humanoid creature.
Australopithecus (1 to 1.5 m tall) with long arms and short legs looked like an ape, but walked upright. He had a low forehead and a small brain.
Humans, apes, and apes all descended from the same ancestor. It could have been Aegyptopithecus, or "Egyptian ape." She lived in Egypt about 35 million years ago and climbed trees on all fours.
Of all the descendants of this mammal, only humans developed bipedalism, that is, the ability to walk upright on two legs. Their hands were freed up and could be used for other purposes. About 2.5 million years ago in Africa appeared Homo habilis, a "handy man" who could use simple stone tools, rather than just his own teeth or hands, to kill and skin animals.
Homo habilis was probably the first man.
Taming the FireA more intelligent species of primitive man, Homo erectus or Homo erectus, first appeared in Africa approximately 1.8 million years ago. He was taller and slimmer than Homo habills, but with strongly protruding jaws and massive brow ridges. Able to move quickly on the ground, Homo erectus became the first hominid to leave Africa and travel north and east. His remains were found in China, on the island of Java and in Europe. Chewing raw meat was not easy for human ancestors; millennia passed before they learned to soften food over fire. Homo erectus already cooked on fire.
These hominids lived in groups. Males hunted, while females collected edible plants and took care of children. Animal bones found in China at one of the sites indicate that primitive people successfully hunted elephants, rhinoceroses, wild horses, bison, camels, wild boars, rams and antelopes. Hunting such large animals could not have been successful with the primitive weapons they possessed, unless it was assumed that Homo erectus were much smarter than their ancestors. It is possible that they had the rudiments of speech.
These hunters and gatherers constantly moved from place to place. At night they slept in caves or built primitive huts from branches and animal skins. The females collected wood for the fire. Males made stone tools, including those that could be used to cut up the carcass of a killed animal.
China 500,000 years ago. A group of Homo erectus settles down for the night. A fire was lit, which also helps drive away wild animals, and the meat was cut into pieces.
About 750,000 years ago, people resembling modern humans appeared. These were the first Homo sapiens(“reasonable man”) Their remains have been found in Africa, Europe and Asia.
One of the types Homo sapiens there were Neanderthals who appeared more than 200,000 years ago. They got their name from the Neander Valley in Germany, where their bones were found in one of the caves in 1857. Chinless, with heavy jaws and overhanging brow ridges, Neanderthals looked somewhat beast-like, but their brains were larger than those of modern humans.
Neanderthals went extinct about 30,000 years ago. They probably lost to modern man in the struggle for food.
Modern humans, whose scientific name is Homo sapiens sapiens, first appeared about 125,000 years ago and reached Europe 40,000 years ago. They had neither protruding brow ridges nor massive jaws, like the first Homo sapiens. Their faces were distinguished by a high forehead and chin. The brain was larger than that of any of their ancestors, with the exception of Neanderthals. After the disappearance of the Neanderthals, they remained the only people on planet Earth.
Our immediate ancestors Homo sapiens sapiens appeared approximately 125,000 years ago, most likely in Africa, from where they spread throughout the world.
Direction of spread of Homo sapiens sapiens
Rock artPeople began drawing and carving on cave walls long before they learned to write. The most famous examples of rock paintings were found in 1940 in France, in the Lascaux cave.
They are made about 18,000 years ago with paints made from natural minerals. For drawing they used sticks or their own palms.
For primitive nomads, life mainly consisted of an endless search for food. Cave paintings and other works of art discovered in caves indicate that they may have had religious beliefs and practices that they believed would help them find food. The rock art was not intended for display. The drawings were made with paints, and sometimes carved into the dark walls and ceilings of caves, where no one could see them.
Artists of the time had to use burning branches to see their creations and ladders to reach high places.
Since the rock paintings were hidden in the depths of the caves, it can be assumed that they served as part of a secret ritual, the purpose of which was to attract good luck in the hunt. People probably believed that by drawing an animal, they could count on prey. It is possible that some of the drawings depict scenes from real life. However, people have been painting and carving on cave walls for 20,000 years, and examples of primitive art have been found in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America and Australia. These images allow us to judge changes in climate and environment.
Ancient people left imprints of their hands on the walls. They put their palm to the wall and traced its outline with paints.
As time passed, hunters became more skilled and used more and more effective weapons. Sometimes they managed to push large prey off a steep cliff, or lure it into a swamp. Once people had speech, they were able to discuss plans for hunting together in detail, which made it more effective.
The Paleolithic era, or Old Stone Age, covers the period from the beginning of the use of simple tools (approximately 2.5 million years ago) to the Neolithic, or New Stone Age, when people began to engage in agriculture (12,000 years ago).
The hunters were armed with spears, bows and arrows, knives, and for fishing they made fishhooks. People studied their surroundings to understand where herds might gather or where prey might be hiding. Knowing the environment saved a lot of time and effort and made life easier.
Most hunter-gatherers lived in small groups of two or three families, which could easily subsist on large prey such as mammoth or bison. Each group probably had a leader who made decisions and made plans.
About 20,000 years ago, the Ice Age lasted on Earth. Huge woolly mammoths were then found in the northern regions. For hunters they served as desired prey.
Hunters armed themselves with wooden spears with sharp stone tips. When throwing, wooden or bone devices and spear throwers were used, which allowed the hunter to throw a spear with greater force. Fishermen caught fish in the lake with a net, and women collected nuts and fruits.
Gathering Hunting was very important, but plant foods were an essential part of the diet. People found certain types of nuts, fruits and edible herbs. They discovered that bees collected honey, and with it the food became sweeter. People dug up the ground to find roots and tubers of plants. Thanks to plant foods, it was possible to survive difficult times when hunting was unsuccessful. However, the most essential food product remained meat.
Clothes makingAnimal skins could be used to make clothing. First, the skin was tanned so that it would not crack. To do this, they stretched it on the ground and scraped it out, removing the fat. Then they smoothed it out with bone tools to make it soft. When the dressing was completed, pieces of the desired shape were cut out of the skin with a stone knife. Holes were made along the edges so that the pieces could be connected to each other, and they were sewn together with a bone needle, using animal tendons as threads.
In the evening the whole group gathered at the parking lot. Shelters were made from animal skins stretched over wooden frames. Mammoth hunters built conical-shaped dwellings from the bones of these animals. They also built huts from intertwined branches, forming a continuous tent, inside of which there was a frame made of thick sticks. Animal skins could be placed on top of the branches.
Temporary shelters were often placed in a circle to better protect against wild animals and bad weather. The fire scared away the animals.
