Big History
This document summarizes several sources related to big history and the development of civilization. It discusses how early humans shared information through oral traditions and innovations like the printing press. It also summarizes Spencer Wells' work tracing human migration patterns out of Africa using genetic markers in DNA. The document then summarizes sources on natural disasters like the Krakatoa volcano eruption in 535 CE that caused global climate change and civilization collapses. Finally, it summarizes theories from Guns, Germs and Steel about how geographic factors contributed to European dominance and discussions of the role of trade, particularly the search for spices, in motivating European exploration like Columbus' voyages.

According to Maori tradition, all humans are descended from the ancestral pair Rangi and Papa, also known as Heaven and Earth. In the early days, Heaven and Earth were closely entwined and all was darkness. Rangi and Papa had six sons - Tane Mahuta who was the father of forests, Tawahiri-ma-tea who was the father of winds and storms, Tangaroa who was the father of fish and reptiles, Tu-matauguenga who was the father of fierce humans, Haumia-tikitiki who was the father of uncultivated food, and Rango-ma-tane who was the father of cultivated food.

According to Maori tradition, all humans are descended from the primordial pair Rangi (Heaven) and Papa (Earth), who were closely joined together in the beginning, leaving the world in darkness. Rangi and Papa had six sons: Tane Mahuta, who was the father of forests; Tawahiri-ma-tea, father of winds and storms; Tangaroa, father of fish and reptiles; Tu-matauguenga, father of fierce humans; Haumia-tikitiki, father of uncultivated food; and Rongo-ma-tane, father of cultivated food.

History, science, and trade
Science can help verify historical facts and events by providing evidence like carbon dating, DNA testing, and microscopic analysis. For example, DNA analysis has led to a new theory about the origin of mankind in Africa over 60,000 years ago. Analysis of tree rings and ice cores also helped scientists conclude that a volcanic eruption in 535 AD likely caused global cooling, famine, and disease at that time. New scientific analysis is also changing views of pre-Columbian Americas, suggesting indigenous populations were over 10 million and complex societies existed in the Amazon rainforest before European contact.

The Maori creation story describes how Rangi (heaven) and Papa (earth) were originally joined closely together in darkness. They had six sons: Tane-mahuta (forests), Tawhiri-ma-tea (winds), Tangaroa (sea life), Tu-mataunga (humans), Haumia-tikitiki (uncultivated food), and Rongo-ma-tane (cultivated food). After a long time in darkness, the sons separated Rangi and Papa, allowing light. Tu-mataunga then ate four brothers but spared Tawhiri-ma-tea, explaining why humans are fierce, eat animals, and why

American Colonial Empires: Spain
The Spanish tried to convert Native Americans to Catholicism, but faced a language barrier. As Native Americans became slaves, the language barrier diminished. Buenos Aires became valuable for Spain, and as trade restrictions eased, its economy boomed. More Spanish ships were spotted off Mexico, worrying Aztecs who developed their own explanations. Central Mexico became the heart of New Spain, and two slave stories of struggle gained fame, one involving a man making a pact with the devil. A man named Cristobal had issues with the church and fled authorities after his family was involved in a murder.
Theme 4
The French and Spanish explored the coasts of Florida and Nova Scotia in the 16th century, with the English later colonizing areas that had not yet been explored, such as Virginia which was named after their queen. Most early English colonists in Virginia were poor "gamblers" seeking a brighter future and "West Country men" looking for another conquest after Ireland, with motives including spreading Christianity, trade, and conquest. Only 5% of England's population was considered wealthy at the time, with the common people making up the other 95%.
Theme 7
The document discusses several topics relating to the American colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries. It describes how King James I of England favored Catholics, alarming Protestants, and how radicals started rejecting churches claiming they were corrupt. It also summarizes that early New France relied on indigenous people for fur trading and defense but later needed more French colonists, and how Native American alliances influenced trade between the French and British.

Big history
This document discusses big history and how it began with ancient Greek philosophers like Thales and Socrates who asked questions that advanced human knowledge. It also discusses the work of geneticist Spencer Wells who traces human ancestry back to a single man in Africa around 60,000 years ago. Finally, it discusses several theories around what caused the Dark Ages in Europe and how trade developed globally over time, spreading crops and goods like chocolate and potatoes.
Big history
1) The document discusses how people's beliefs can change based on new discoveries, providing examples from history like the development of the modern university from 11th century Arab Spain.
2) It describes geneticist Spencer Wells' work using DNA to track human migration patterns out of Africa and his conclusion that early humans were able to travel much further than previously believed.
3) It outlines scientist David Keyes' research and evidence from tree rings, ice cores, and historical documents supporting his theory that a catastrophic volcanic eruption caused global climate change in the mid-6th 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.
Big history
Big history examines history across long time frames using a multidisciplinary approach to understand changes in the human experience. It looks at how scientific discoveries fundamentally altered civilization's perceptions of the world. Key events that transformed humans included a genetic mutation that improved brain organization, allowing symbolic thought, and competition between groups that forced technological innovation. A major catastrophe around 535 AD caused global climate changes, famines, and plagues, likely due to a large volcanic eruption. Differences in continents' long term histories were not due to innate qualities but environmental factors, as locations like Europe and Asia advanced more quickly than areas like New Guinea. Global trade spread new resources and diseases between continents.

Revolutions radically change established societies by overturning existing political and social institutions that are seen as failing to serve the people. The Copernican Revolution introduced the idea that the Earth revolves around the sun rather than vice versa, fundamentally changing perceptions of humanity's place in the universe. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection had a similarly dramatic impact by supporting the idea of human descent from animals. Freudian psychoanalytic theory transformed understandings of human behavior and motivation by emphasizing the role of the unconscious mind. The information revolution is driving wide-ranging societal changes through advancing computer and digital technologies. Revolutions arise when political systems fail to adapt to social changes, leading people to question authority and existing conditions through protest and uprising
Killian history assignment 1
The document discusses how various inventions and discoveries throughout history have led to changes in human civilization and culture. It notes that in the 11th century, the Crusades led to the modern university system, and discoveries in art and recording technologies followed. It argues that humans are inherently driven to discover and invent due to their desire for change and variety, and that while new inventions often look to the past, they make improvements. The document also discusses how genetic studies have traced human migration patterns and relationships between different populations.
Powerpoint history.ppt
Historians are now applying scientific techniques like DNA testing, satellite imaging, and underwater technologies to solve historical mysteries and better understand the past. For example, geneticist Spencer Wells used DNA testing to trace human migration out of Africa starting 50,000 years ago. New evidence from burials, soil analysis, and carbon dating is also changing interpretations of populations in South America, showing larger pre-Columbian civilizations than previously believed that were later devastated by disease brought by European explorers. Advances in science and technology will continue to reshape our understanding of history.
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.

1) The document discusses the history and scientific legitimacy of three marginal sciences: sea serpent investigations in the 19th century, phrenology, and spiritualism.
2) While initially regarded as credible areas of investigation, none of the three became part of the scientific mainstream. Sea serpent sightings could not be corroborated by physical evidence. Phrenology's claims about brain localization were eventually disproven.
3) However, the document argues that examining these marginal sciences provides insights into the nature and development of science. They illustrate how scientific ideas emerge and change over time and the types of evidence needed to establish a field of study.
Theme 1
