Solution

The early humans made pottery for the following reasons:
1. To store grains
2. To store liquids and cooked food

The early humans learnt to make pottery out of clay. They were initially made by making a hole into a ball of clay or by making a long snake with the clay and coiling it up to make pottery. These were then baked in fire. The potter's wheel helped them to make pots of various sizes and shapes.
