The world of change by Karapliou and Zagoriddertili
The document summarizes how human civilization has progressed through different eras and their impact on the environment over time. It discusses three main eras: the Agrarian era from 11,000 BC to 1750 AD, when agriculture dominated society; the Modern era from 1750 AD to recent times, characterized by industrialization; and the current Digital era, defined by computer and internet technologies. While early human societies had a relatively low impact on the environment, the document notes that in the last 100-130 years human activities have started to negatively affect the planet.
This document provides a summary of big history from the beginning of time to present day. It discusses the evolution of humans in Africa and their migration to Europe. It then covers the development of agriculture, cities, and symbols. Several key developments are highlighted, including the domestication of plants and animals, which allowed certain populations to develop technologies and immune systems that provided advantages over isolated groups. Disease and environmental factors like volcanic eruptions are also discussed as influencing human population and development.
The document provides an overview of key events and developments in world environmental history. It covers topics like ancient civilizations' connections to nature, medieval public health decrees, industrialization leading to increased pollution, and 20th century events like the Progressive Era, world wars, environmental movement of the 1960s-70s, and issues faced in recent decades like climate change. The document traces the evolving relationship between humanity and the environment over thousands of years.
- Big History aims to understand history as a whole by looking for common themes across time from the Big Bang to modern times using a multidisciplinary approach.
- The development of agriculture around 11,500 years ago allowed human populations to expand and civilizations to form with advanced technologies and large organized workforces.
- Geographic differences between continents influenced the uneven development of societies, with Eurasia developing key technologies like guns, steel, and horses before other regions due to its ecology.
This summary provides an overview of 3 key points from the document:
1. The document discusses the rise and fall of various empires throughout history. It notes how empires grew large through conquering weaker peoples and maintaining control over diverse populations and religions through the use of slaves.
2. European empires like Spain, France, and Britain were able to conquer lands in other continents due to advantages in weapons, immunity to diseases, and navigational techniques that allowed them to transport people and goods over long distances.
3. The author Jared Diamond argues that societies located in Eurasia had geographical and environmental advantages that allowed them to develop agriculture, domesticate animals, and achieve large populations earlier than other parts of
The document provides information on various topics related to European history from the arrival of early humans in Europe around 40,000 years ago to the industrial revolution. It discusses how early Europeans populated the continent after the last ice age and the spread of Christianity. It also covers the Silk Road, cultural exchange during the Mongol Empire, the Renaissance, inventions like the steam engine, and the social and environmental impacts of the industrial revolution.
This document provides an overview and review of key topics covered in Unit 3, including:
1) Instructions on how to prepare for the upcoming test, including completing lessons, checkpoints, and asking questions.
2) An outline of the test format which will include multiple choice and short answer questions about working conditions during the Industrial Revolution.

The document also summarizes the fall of Rome, the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, and Age of Exploration. Key events, innovations, and civilizations from each time period are highlighted at a high level to help with final exam preparation.
This document discusses several topics related to human history and migration patterns. It describes how Spencer Wells used DNA analysis to trace human migration out of Africa to other parts of the world. It also discusses the causes of a major volcanic eruption around 1500 years ago that disrupted civilizations worldwide. Additionally, it examines the theories presented in Guns, Germs and Steel about why some human groups developed agriculture and technologies more quickly than others, giving them advantages when they encountered other groups.
Early humans like Homo habilis and Homo erectus developed tools and migrated throughout Africa and Eurasia. As humans like Homo sapiens emerged around 200,000 years ago, they began controlling fire, domesticating animals, and developing language and art. Around 12,000 years ago, the Agricultural Revolution began as humans transitioned to farming and created permanent settlements, leading to population growth and the rise of early civilizations with advanced cities, specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and technology.
1. The document discusses the development of theories and principles in the 19th century, including scientific theories proposed by Darwin, Schwann, Schleiden, Maxwell, and Mendel.
2. It also examines philosophies that emerged such as German idealism, positivism, liberalism, conservatism, and socialism in response to the Industrial Revolution and other changes.
3. Mass culture developed in the 19th century through new technologies like print media, the expansion of education and sports, and the rise of popular entertainment forms and consumer brands. However, mass culture was also criticized for potential issues like oversimplification, cultural homogeneity, and commercialization.
1) The document discusses four sources that relate to how history is interpreted and can change over time based on new evidence and perspectives.
2) Source 1 discusses research finding all humans descended from one man in Africa 60,000 years ago based on DNA analysis.
3) Source 2 describes a catastrophic climate event in 535-536 AD that caused crop failures, famine and may have changed the course of human history.
4) The sources show history is complex and interpretations have changed over time, such as views that North America had more people and more advanced civilizations than previously believed before European contact.
1) Between the 1500s and 1900s, European nations colonized much of the world due to geographic and technological advantages over other regions.
2) Europe's location on the Eurasian landmass and network of rivers allowed agriculture, technology, and culture to spread widely.
3) Developments like the plow, domesticated animals, and immunity to diseases gave Europeans military and economic dominance over other cultures.

Of the hominid species, only Homo sapiens still survives.
1.
emerged in Africa around 250,000 years ago; around 100,000 years ago began to migrate beyond Africa
II.
The Globalization of Humankind
A.
Initial migrations from Africa took place in the Paleolithic Era.
1.
gatherers and hunters
2.
Paleolithic era continued until around 11,000 years ago
a.
the Paleolithic era accounts for over 90 percent of human time on earth

B.
Almost everyone in the world now lives in a state wit.
The document discusses the state of the world in 1492 from a historical and trade perspective. It describes the political situations in Europe, the Middle East, India, China, and the Americas. In Europe, Spain was consolidating power through conquest and funding explorers like Columbus. The Ottoman Empire had captured Constantinople in 1453 and now dominated the Mediterranean. In India, most areas were under Muslim rule except Vijayanagar. China was led by the Ming Dynasty and had halted naval exploration. The Maya, Inca, and Aztec civilizations were growing but remained politically fragmented. Global populations were rising as the planet ended a warm period, putting pressure on food supplies which varied by region.
This document provides an overview of early human history and civilization. It discusses the differences between prehistory and history, and defines key terms like culture, civilization, archaeology, and artifacts. The Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages are summarized. During the Paleolithic, humans were hunter-gatherers who developed tools and fire. The Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons inhabited Europe and developed art. In the Neolithic, humans transitioned to farming and settled into early villages which led to specialization of skills and development of governance and religion.
Big History takes a broad, interdisciplinary approach to history by examining common themes across large time scales from the Big Bang to the present. It aims to connect human history to broader patterns in areas like astronomy, biology, and geology. The approach helps place human events in a greater cosmic context and show how civilizations have been shaped by major catastrophes like volcanic eruptions and climate change. Migration patterns have also played a key role in history, as genetic evidence shows that all modern humans descended from groups that left Africa around 50,000 years ago and spread throughout the world.

Human Biocultural and Sociopolitical EvolutionKokoStevan
The document provides a timeline and overview of major events in human cultural and sociopolitical evolution from the earliest hominids to modern times. It begins with hominization and the emergence of tool use by Homo habilis around 2 million years ago. Subsequent developments discussed include the control of fire by Homo erectus around 1 million years ago, the appearance of Homo neanderthalensis in Africa and Europe, the beginnings of agriculture around 10,000 BCE, and the rise and fall of early civilizations. The timeline then outlines cultural, technological, and political milestones from ancient societies through the modern era.
The document summarizes key points from a course on the history of humankind, including the formation of the universe billions of years ago, the evolution of early human species like Homo habilis and Homo erectus in Africa 2-2.5 million years ago, the migration of Homo sapiens out of Africa around 70,000 years ago and their dispersal worldwide, the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions, the rise of modern science, European imperialism aided by advances in technology, and projections that humans may evolve or be surpassed by artificial intelligence within centuries.

The document summarizes key points from a course on the history of humankind, including the formation of the universe billions of years ago, the evolution of early human species like Homo habilis and Homo erectus in Africa 2-2.5 million years ago, the migration of Homo sapiens out of Africa around 70,000 years ago and their dispersal worldwide, the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions beginning around 10,000 years ago, the rise of modern science since the 16th century, and projections that humans may evolve or be surpassed by technology like artificial intelligence within the next few centuries.
The document outlines three major theoretical paradigms in the study of religions: 1) The origin of religions from the late 1700s to early 1900s, which included social evolutionism and scientific racism. 2) The function of religions from the early 1900s to 1960s, including functionalism and structural functionalism. 3) The meanings of religions from the 1960s onward, including symbolic and interpretive approaches, feminism, and post-structuralism.
Global convergence from 1400 to 1800 led to accelerating changes worldwide. Ideas, goods, technologies, and pathogens spread further and faster as trade networks expanded. World population grew significantly due to improved nutrition, while disease devastated native populations in the Americas. States and empires grew larger and more powerful through conquests, colonization, and wealth from trade and manufacturing. Challenges to absolutist rulers emerged from new social elites and ideas about human rights and democracy. Overall, this era saw the world become more interconnected as it moved closer to the modern globalized world.
This document provides an overview of major periods in history, beginning with dinosaurs living before humans. It then discusses the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods of prehistory, when humans were nomadic hunter-gatherers or started farming respectively. The next period described is Ancient History, focusing on the first civilizations like Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. It then moves to the Middle Ages characterized by feudalism, followed by the Modern Age marked by inventions like the printing press. Finally, it outlines the Contemporary Age defined by the French and Industrial Revolutions.
1) Certain geographical factors, like climate and available crops and animals, gave some civilizations advantages over others, allowing some to flourish while others declined.
2) Societies with reliable food sources through agriculture were able to support larger populations who had more time for inventions and technology, allowing them to outcompete hunter-gatherer societies.
3) Disease greatly impacted the interactions between the Old World and New World, with diseases brought by Europeans devastating native populations in the Americas.
1. The document discusses how historical events are interconnected and can have unintended consequences. For example, Columbus' voyage hoping to establish trade routes led to large migrations from Europe to the Americas.
2. Environmental factors like climate changes and diseases spreading from introduced livestock had devastating impacts on civilizations, with some evidence suggesting a volcanic eruption in the 6th century contributed to the fall of Rome and disease wiping out large native populations in the Americas.
3. The potato became a staple crop in Europe, especially Ireland, helping populations survive famine after being introduced from the Americas.

WORLD HISTORY
Prehistory
The oldest first human-like hominid to walk
upright is the ‘Australopithecus’.
Australopithecus lived between 4 million and
2 million years ago. Australopithecines had
32 teeth, like modern humans but a much
smaller brain than later hominids.
The next hominid is, ‘Homo habilis’. Homo habilis lived
from about 2.3 million to 1.6 million years ago. Their slightly
larger brain size likely means that they were more intelligent.
It is believed they were the first
human-like creature to make stone
tools.
Example: stone hammers, spears, and
knives for hunting.

Homo erectus lived between 2 million and 1.6 million years
ago. Homo erectus had a very human-like walk and body
proportions. They were also the first
human species to have a flat face,
prominent nose, and sparse body hair.
Their brains were much larger than
their hominid ancestors. They are
thought to be the first human ancestor
to use fire. They hunted in large
groups, created art, and took to the sea
in basic watercraft.
The next hominid is the ‘Neanderthals’. These emerged
around 1 million years ago and lived in Eurasia until about
40,000 years ago. They created stone tools, used fire in stone
ovens, and crafted simple clothes, blankets, and ponchos.
They engaged in seafaring
through the Mediterranean, made
use of medicinal plants, and
found ways to treat severe
injuries. Neanderthals were
likely capable of speech.
The first modern humans found in Europe are
known as the ‘Cro-Magnon man’. They were
anatomically alike to modern humans and lived
about 48,000 to 15,000 years ago. They lived in
Europe. Cro-Magnon man lived in caves or
small huts in the forest. Long houses made of

stone or wood were also used for larger communities of 30-
100 people.
Agricultural Revolution

human history. People created advanced tools, farming
methods, and domesticated animals. Example: Horses, Dogs,
Goats, and Pigs.
Rising temperatures across the globe gave people longer
growing seasons. The land
would also have been drier,
making it easier to cultivate
wild grasses. This is a main
reason for the agricultural
revolution.

that took place throughout the continent of Europe. The
countries to find themselves in the focus of revolution
included France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Denmark, and the
Austrian Empire. The primary causes for these revolutions
stemmed from dissatisfaction
with the monarchies which were
at the helm of each country. The
citizens’ were tired of feeling
oppressed and controlled, and
there was a widespread demand
for democracy, versus a
monarchy.
Industrial Revolution

and many of the technological innovations were of British
origin. Textiles were the
dominant industry of the
Industrial Revolution in terms of
employment, value of output
and capital invested. The textile
industry was also the first to use
modern production methods.
