Started in Africa, inventions, self-sufficient, egalitarian.

1.1~
13.8 billion years of just the stage set, just about up to 600 BCE
-social hierarchy - levels/ranks/positions
-religion - how people answer the unanswerable, values and morals
-life starts in Africa

slide 7 ~ early humans were mobile and creative in adapting to different geographical settings from savanna to desert to ice age tundra. by making an analogy with modern hunter-forager societies, anthropologists infer that these bands were relatively egalitarian humans also developed varied and sophisticated technologies.
-egalitarian - equal, analogy - comparison
-most of the time period known are all educated guesses

A big invention was fire
-others were like tools

myth - these groups and people worked all the time
truth -but the truth is that they had a lot of free time

1.2~ neolithic evolution and early agricultural societies
100 settled with agriculture
agriculture was reliable and could be counted on, but there wasn't really a wide variety of different foods.

agriculturalists had a massive impact on the environment
family groups gave way to village life, and later complex urban life
patriarchy - male dominated/ruling
labor systems - slavery

pastoralism - the slow movement of people who follow "domesticated" animals
pastoral peoples had domesticated animals, were more socially stratified than h-f. they moved around a lot. they didn't have many materialistic possessions
because they move a lot, they become a conduit for change, because they see a lot, and gain many ideas original or from what they see.

Starting Slide 17
Mesopotamia is present-day Iraq

Possibly as a response to climatic change, permanent agricultural villages emerged first in the lands of the eastern Mediterranean. Agriculture emerged at different times in Mesopotamia, the Nile river valley, the Sub-Sahara Africa the Indus River Valley, the Yellow River or Huang He Valley, Papua New Guinea, Mesoamerica and the Andes.

Hunter-Forager -> Pastoralism -> Domesticated Crops Agriculture
Flora looks like flour, so it's plant life.
Fauna is animal life.
Crop rotation was unknown back during these times.
Food was becoming so abundant that other people didn't need to depend on growing and working for that food.
Artisans - Skilled craftsman

Required examples of improvements in agricultural production, trade and transportation (Pottery, plows, woven textiles, metallurgy, wheels and wheelbarrows)

In truth, it's more of a Theocracy
Pyramids were thought as the stairways to heaven

Moving away from hunter-forager, pastoralism. Eating more meat, different crops in the different areas, Africa yams and cattle, Asia rice, Mexico Corn.

9/12 slide 34
long distance trade was quite evident. The Egyptians definitely knew the Sumerians.
The pharaoh wasn't just chosen by god, but was thought to be the a god on earth.
Iron gave the Hittites a tremendous advantage of military power. Iron then = Nuclear Weapons now
Pastoralists were the game changers. With their lifestyle of moving with their animals, they develop new things and influence others.

9/13 slide 40
hieroglyphs, pictographs, alphabets, quipu

9/15 slide 46
