Big Geography & Peopling of the Earth I. Archeological evidence indicates that during the Paleolithic era, hunting- foraging bands of humans gradually migrated from their origin in East Africa to Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas, adapting their technology and cultures to new climate regions. A. Humans used fire in new ways: to aid hunting and foraging, to protect against predators, and to adapt to cold environments. B. Humans developed a wider range of tools specially adapted to different environments from tropics to tundra. C. Economic structures focused on small kinship groups of hunting/foraging bands that could make what they needed to survive. However, not all groups were self-sufficient; they exchanged people, ideas, and goods.

I. Approx.10,000 years ago, the Neolithic Revolution led to the development of new and more complex economic and social systems. A. Permanent agricultural villages emerged first in the lands of the eastern Mediterranean. Agriculture emerged at different times in Mesopotamia, the Nile River Valley and Sub-Saharan Africa, the Indus River Valley, the Yellow River or Huang He Valley, Papua New Guinea, Mesoamerica, and the Andes. B. Pastoralism developed at various sites in the grasslands of Africa and Eurasia. C. Different crops or animals were domesticated in the various core regions, depending on available local flora and fauna. Agricultural communities had to work cooperatively to clear land and create the water control systems needed for crop production. E. These agricultural practices drastically impacted environmental diversity. Pastoralists also affected the environment by grazing large numbers of animals on fragile grasslands, leading to erosion when overgrazed.

II. Agriculture and pastoralism began to transform human societies. A. Pastoralism and agriculture led to more reliable and abundant food supplies, which increased the population. B. Surpluses of food and other goods led to specialization of labor, including new classes of artisans and warriors, and the development of elites. C. Technological innovations led to improvements in agricultural production, trade, and transportation. Ex. of improvements in agricultural production, trade, and transportation: Pottery Plows Woven textiles Metallurgy Wheels and wheeled vehicles D. In both pastoralist and agrarian societies, elite groups accumulated wealth, creating more hierarchical social structures and promoting patriarchal forms of social organization.

The Development and Interactions of Early Agricultural, Pastoral, and Urban Societies I. Core and foundational civilizations developed in a variety of geographical and environmental settings where agriculture flourished. (Students should be able to identify the location of all of the following required examples of core and foundational civilizations): Mesopotamia in the Tigris and Euphrates River Valleys Egypt in the Nile River Valley Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa in the Indus River Valley Shang in the Yellow River or Huang He Valley Olmecs in Mesoamerica Chavín in Andean South America
13
II. The first states emerged within core civilizations. A. States were powerful new systems of rule that mobilized surplus labor and resources over large areas. Early states were often led by a ruler whose source of power was believed to be divine or had divine support and/or who was supported by the military. B. As states grew and competed for land and resources, the more favorably situated — including the Hittites, who had access to iron — had greater access to resources, produced more surplus food, and experienced growing populations. These states were able to undertake territorial expansion and conquer surrounding states. C. Early regions of state expansion or empire building were Mesopotamia, Babylonia, and the Nile Valley. D. Pastoralists were often the developers and disseminators of new weapons and modes of transportation that transformed warfare in agrarian civilizations.
14
Culture played a significant role in unifying states through laws, language, literature, religion, myths, and monumental art. A. Early civilizations developed monumental architecture and urban planning. B. Elites, both political and religious, promoted arts and artisanship. Examples of new weapons Compound bows Iron weapons Examples of new modes of transportation Chariots Horseback riding Examples of arts and artisanship Sculpture Painting Wall decorations Elaborate weaving Examples of monumental architecture and urban planning Ziggurats Pyramids Temples Defensive walls Streets and roads Sewage and water systems
15
C. Systems of record keeping arose independently in all early civilizations and subsequently were diffused. D. States developed legal codes, including the Code of Hammurabi, that reflected existing hierarchies and facilitated the rule of governments over people. E. New religious beliefs developed in this period continued to have strong influences in later periods. New religious beliefs: The Vedic religion Hebrew monotheism Zoroastrianism F. Trade expanded throughout this period from local to regional and transregional, with civilizations exchanging goods, cultural ideas, and technology. Examples of trade expansion from local to regional and transregional: Between Egypt and Nubia Between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley G. Social and gender hierarchies intensified as states expanded and cities multiplied. H. Literature was also a reflection of culture. Epic of Gilgamesh in 10 minutes
