AMI’s revised First Timeline of Human Beings follows our species from roughly 300,000 to 40,000 years ago. Built from current research and designed as an impressionistic material (not a lecture), it shows early humans living in groups, meeting material and spiritual needs, refining tools and fire, and spreading from Africa. This workshop walks 6–12 teachers through the guidebook’s aims and sequence, the panoramic introductory story, sample vignette work, and practical habits for presenting the timeline. We also note how the Family Tree of Hominins Chart holds deeper time, and why the “empty” end of Timeline 1 opens the door to the Second Timeline.
