This document discusses the emerging field of Big History, which takes a much broader, interdisciplinary approach to history than conventional history. Big History looks at the entire story of the universe from the Big Bang to present, over 13.7 billion years, rather than focusing only on the last 5,000-10,000 years of human civilization. It incorporates insights from fields like astronomy, geology, and biology to provide a fuller context for human development and place humanity's story within the larger story of the cosmos.

This document discusses how examining events through the lens of "Big History" can provide insight into connections between civilizations over long periods of time. It gives examples of how studying topics like tree rings, diseases, trade routes, and technological developments across cultures has led to discoveries about how global phenomena like volcanic eruptions or the arrival of new crops and animals have impacted humanity on a worldwide scale.
Theme 1: Big History
This document provides an overview of big history and key events and discoveries that have shaped human civilization over time. It discusses how curiosity and questioning led to advances in scientific research. It describes how studying genes and bloodlines has connected all humans back to a common origin in Africa. Key events like climate changes, volcanic eruptions and plagues are examined for their effects on migration and culture. Comparisons are made between the natural resources and agricultural development of different regions and how this impacted prosperity. The age of European discovery is outlined as a period of extensive global exploration, map-making and new trade routes.
Big History
The document summarizes several theories about major events and periods in history:
1) Spencer Wells traces human evolution and migration out of Africa around 60,000 years ago based on analyzing genetic changes in DNA.
2) A volcanic eruption around 536 AD caused a global climatic catastrophe that transformed the ancient world into the medieval era, according to evidence from tree rings, ice cores, and documents.
3) While Columbus' voyages had a large impact, the world was already being explored and connected across regions before 1492, though contact between places was still relatively rare.

Our human origins
This document discusses human origins from both mainstream and opposing viewpoints. The mainstream view is that Homo habilis emerged 2.4 million years ago, followed by Homo erectus 1.8 million years ago, Neanderthals 250,000 years ago, and Homo sapiens 200,000 years ago. Evidence for this includes morphological similarities between species and archaeological remains. However, the opposing view cites forbidden discoveries of human artifacts over 250,000 years old and human footprints over 100 million years old. DNA evidence also suggests other species did not contribute to the modern human genome. There are still many open questions around human origins.

Powerpoint stone age
The document outlines the timeline of world history from prehistory to modern times. It divides world history into two periods: prehistory, before writing was invented; and history, after writing allowed events to be recorded. Prehistory is further divided into the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. The Stone Age includes the Paleolithic Age (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic Age, and Neolithic Age (New Stone Age). The Paleolithic Age saw early humans' absolute dependence on nature and use of stone tools. Agriculture and animal domestication began in the Neolithic Age.
Historypp
History can be interpreted in different ways based on facts from primary and secondary sources. While based on facts, people interpret history differently, influencing how it is defined and written. Symbolism has been important to human development and culture, and gives insight into human behavior through artifacts. A catastrophic event changed the world's climate thousands of years ago, possibly due to volcanic eruptions, which caused global drought, famine, and death and contributed to the fall of civilizations like the Roman Empire.

Additionally, it summarizes several videos that explore the journey of man through DNA evidence, a theory of a natural catastrophe that blocked the sun 1500 years ago, mankind's relationship with the Mediterranean landscape, and how lack of technology and animals contributed to the Spanish conquest of the Inca civilization.
Theme1 big history - melissa skarnas history 140
The document discusses several key topics in big history:
1) Humans are inherently curious and question the universe to understand how it works, which has allowed cultures to evolve or change over time.
2) Catastrophic events like volcanic eruptions and meteor impacts have caused environmental changes in the past as evidenced by tree rings and ice cores.
3) Geography and the fertility of land influenced the unequal development of advantages among different human societies, as explored by Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs and Steel.
4) A climactic shift 12,500 years ago led to environmental collapse in the Middle East, pushing people to develop hardy crops like wheat and barley that allowed for settlement.
Technology
The document summarizes the history of science and technology in the Indian subcontinent from prehistoric times through British colonial rule and post-independence. It then divides the history of technology into nine distinct periods from the Paleolithic Age to the present Information Age. For each period, it provides the time period, impacts on history, examples of artifacts from that era, and some examples of engineering design achievements.
Assignment 1
History is the study of past events and how they influence the present. DNA evidence suggests that all modern humans descend from a group who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago and began migrating worldwide. Climate changes thousands of years ago, such as one around 535 AD that caused global cooling, can be studied through ice cores, tree rings, and carbon dating. Differences in the environments of continents influenced the development of civilizations through factors like available domesticated plants and animals and rates of cultural diffusion. The Columbian Exchange following Christopher Columbus' voyage in 1492 was a massive biological exchange between the Eastern and Western hemispheres that spread diseases and transformed global populations.
Bronze age (1)
The Bronze Age was the period between the Stone Age and Iron Age characterized by the use of bronze. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin that is harder than copper alone. The Bronze Age occurred at different times in different regions, between 3300-1200 BC in Egypt, 3000-700 BC in China, and 3300-1500 BC in the Indus Valley. During this time, bronze replaced stone for tools and weapons, allowing societies to advance with developments like the wheel and irrigation. Specialized roles like miners, traders, and metalworkers emerged to support the bronze industry.
Big history
Big History takes a multidisciplinary approach to studying history over long periods of time to develop more accurate theories than a single perspective allows. Mankind's curiosity has led to constant progress and innovation throughout history, allowing populations to grow while continuing to ask questions and develop new technologies. Evidence suggests all modern humans descended from a single individual in Africa around 60,000-90,000 years ago, with migrations spreading humanity across Africa, Eurasia, the Middle East, and Australia. Major catastrophes like volcanic eruptions and asteroid collisions, occurring approximately every 1,000 years, can initially cause widespread destruction but also impact climate for years, ruining crops and enabling disease, with effects still present a decade later.
Big History
The document discusses how curiosity and questioning have driven human progress throughout history. It provides examples like how the Greeks' individualism and Egyptians' geometry expanded knowledge. Christopher Columbus is highlighted for how his ambition to find gold and spices led to his accidental discovery of the Americas, revolutionizing the world through the Columbian Exchange of crops, animals and people between the hemispheres. His voyage showed how a single person's curiosity can transform history by putting change into motion through exploration and trade.

Big history
All cultures share common traits like customs and laws to maintain order, and react to new knowledge as it becomes available. The printing press, steel weapons, and plow made progress possible in Europe during the 1400s. DNA evidence shows that all humans originated in Africa and migrated throughout the world. Climate changes like volcanic eruptions have caused global catastrophes, like one around 1500 AD that caused worldwide cold, famine, and disease. Europeans had advantages in conquering other areas due to domesticated animals providing surplus food and diseases that native populations lacked immunity against. Columbus set sail seeking trade routes to Asia in 1451 and inadvertently connected the worlds through the Columbian Exchange of crops and livestock between the Americas and Europe.

Early humans lived as hunter-gatherers for most of their existence, from around 3 million years ago until around 10,000 BCE. Around 10,000 BCE, humans began farming and herding animals, leading to larger settled populations. This allowed for the rise of early civilizations along major river valleys between around 7000-3000 BCE, including in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China. Writing was invented, social classes emerged, and these early civilizations grew in population and complexity.
Earth Science And Human History
This document provides an overview of the book "Earth Science and Human History 101" which examines the relationship between earth science processes and human history. It explores how humans have relied on resources from the earth and discusses how earth changes like volcanoes, earthquakes, and climate shifts have impacted civilizations. The book addresses current issues like global warming causes and consequences. It seeks to explain geological and historical events from both scientific and biblical perspectives.
Theme 1: Big history - By Melissa Skarnas
This document discusses key events and ideas in big history, including how questioning allows societies to evolve, theories about ancient catastrophes, the development of unequal advantages between regions due to geography and agriculture, and the global impacts of Columbus's voyages in 1492 which brought the Eastern and Western hemispheres into contact while also spreading crops, livestock, and disease.
Big history
Big history examines major events in history on a global scale using scientific insights from various fields like biology, climatology, anthropology and archaeology. It aims to understand how past events are interconnected and relate to each other on a grand scale. The document discusses topics like human migration out of Africa, natural disasters like volcanic eruptions, the development and spread of new technologies, and European exploration and trade in the 15th century.

History Science and Trade
The document provides an overview of world history and trade prior to and following 1492 when Columbus arrived in the Americas. It describes the societies, religions, and economies that existed in different regions of the world at that time, including Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. It then discusses how global trade and cultural exchanges expanded dramatically after 1492 as European powers colonized the Americas and gained control of trade routes, introducing crops, commodities, and slavery on a global scale and forever changing patterns of trade and development worldwide.
Origins of Life 3 - Age of Earth
1. The document discusses several theories regarding the age of the Earth, including that some scientists believe it is approximately 4.6 billion years old based on evidence from fossils and geology, while some creationists believe it is only around 10,000 years old based on historical documents and some scientific evidence.
2. The document also discusses theories of how life on Earth originated, such as the primordial soup theory that early Earth's atmosphere allowed organic molecules to form, and the endosymbiont theory that early cells incorporated aerobic bacteria in a symbiotic relationship.
3. Determining the age of the Earth and theories of the origin of life involve assumptions and can never be proven absolutely, as scientists with different beliefs
