The Rise of Civilizations Across the Globe!!

As the Neolithic Age dawns, a new era for humanity begins. Homosapienes have managed to  create tracks around the globe- the stage is now set for the Ancient Age to surface the horizion. Civilizations begin to sprout across all the corners of the globe including: Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, nd the Indus valley. Mankind had truly begun to make it's mark on earth with civilizations growing to fascinating sizes for the first time in history.

Amazing new techologies were all created within these magnificent civilizations. Hoever, one civilization had some astoshing developments that we not replicated until far passed the Classical Era. Within the indus Valley Civilization technological and socail creations came to life including: Developed sewer systems, Developed running water, Established planned cities, Relatively equal class structure, Same size and shape construction, Conquered by the Aryan people, and a Caste System (with Priests, Warriors/Royalty, Merchancts, and Untouchables).

                    

Paleolithic Mankind

Blog Assignment #1:

This week we learned how Paleolithic Man traveled the world in a Nomadic manner. Strayer explained to us how humans lived in gather/hunter style encampments. 

Gather/Hunter?

What does that mean???! 

Well, since the majority of nutritional intake within the early man's diet came from the food women gathered- those gathers deserve much more credit! With less than 20% of the diet being fulfilled by hunted game, it's extremely difficult to credit those lousy hunters with the initial recognition of being named first: isn't it?

It's amazing to think that early man was so highly dependent on such a simple task of picking ripe foods from the trees, bushes, and earth. I am glad that Strayer took a stand for those who gathered that helped keep our species stay alive when the obsidian hand knives and crudely naturally sharpened rocks failed to bring home the bacon.
