1 PERIOD 1 Ancient Period 8000 BCE to 600 BCE

2 Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Self-actualization (self-knowledge, fulfillment of personal potential) Esteem (autonomy, achievement, recognition) Social (belonging, affection) Safety (security, protection from harm) Physiological (Hunger, thirst, shelter) Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

3 Paleolithic to Neolithic
Paleolithic Age Humans had spread around globe Humans were hunter-gatherers Life style could not support large numbers Man makes tools of stone, bone Began around 9,000 BCE Rise of agriculture Culture becomes increasingly complex

4 RISE OF NEOLITHIC Areas where Neolithic cultures arose
Harsh environments Water shortages Few reliable sources of foodstuffs Causes of the Neolithic Revolution Development, spread of agriculture Domestication of animals Improvement of technology

5 Neolithic Revolution. We begin at about 8,000 BC
when village life began in the New Stone Age. . . Also known as the Neolithic Revolution. NEW STONE AGE

6 A TOTALLY new way of living:
From Hunter-Gatherers to Agriculture

7 ASPECTS OF NEOLITHIC AGE
Effects of Neolithic Age Sedentary culture develops Surplus of food leads to increased populations Rise of differentiated occupations Complex cultures Gender relations change Humans begin to change environment Communicable diseases become common

8 PALEOLITHIC vs. NEOLITHIC
Many resist sedentarism Pastoralists Hunter-Gatherers survive until 20th century Development uneven across regions Change often slow Indigenous development vs. diffusion

9 INVENTION OF AGRICULTURE
Mesopotamians first to engage in agriculture Around 8000 BC Cereal crops Wheat Barley Herd animals Sheep Goats

10 Human/Environmental interaction
Tools and weapons Social and political organization Homes Lake houses in Switzerland Long houses along Danube Stone huts in Britain Reed lean-tos in Egypt Clay brick huts in Middle East Broad language groups appeared

11 POSSESSIONS Needs of agriculture and stability Clay pottery
Woven baskets Woolen and linen clothing Sophisticated tools and weapons Plow

12 RESULTS OF AGRICULTURE
Required intensification of group organization Neolithic farmers lived in settlements Ranged from 150 (Jarmo) to 2000 (Jericho)

13 OUTSIDE CONTACTS Neolithic communities had links
Walls indicate some fearful Others were more peaceful Jericho

14 Origins and Spread of Agriculture

15 What does it mean to be civilized?
18th Century European Civilized vs. primitive White vs. everyone else Historians have determined 6 characteristics of civilization: Cities Organized central governments Complex religions Social classes Job specialization and the arts Writing

16 CIVILIZATION’S 1ST PHASE
Civilizations arose in few areas, spread out Often arose around control of water Called “hydraulic” (Hydro = water) civilizations Irrigation, flood control at center of power, changes Ancient period lasts generally to 1000 BCE

17 UNIQUENESS OF CIVILIZATION
Civilization was not simply next inevitable step from Neolithic Age Many peoples remained at simple food-raising stage for thousands of years—without developing any sort of civilization Only four locations developed civilizations entirely on their own China Indus River Valley Mesopotamia/Egypt Central America and Peru

18 Ancient River Valley Civilizations

19 Early River Valley Civilizations
Environment Flooding of Tigris and Euphrates unpredictable No natural barriers Limited natural resources for making tools or buildings Mesopotamia Flooding of the Nile predictable Nile an easy transportation link between Egypt’s villages Deserts were natural barriers Egypt Indus flooding unpredictable Monsoon winds Mountains, deserts were natural barriers Indus River Valley Huang He flooding unpredictable Mountains, deserts natural barriers Geographically isolated from other ancient civilizations China Mountains and ocean natural barriers Warm temperatures and moderate rainfall Geographically isolated from other ancient civilizations Mesoamerica & Andes

20 THE CULTURE OF CIVILIZATION
Permanent Institutions Religious: Theocracies, priesthoods, polytheism Political: Monarchy, aristocracy, militaries Social: Rise of classes Gender: Patriarchy Trade and Commerce Systems of Record Keeping Intellectual Traditions Arts, Architecture Literatures

21 WIDER CONTACTS Each civilization had particular patterns
Effects of Geography Either facilitated, hindered communication Strengthened, weakened local culture Contacts War, Trade, Diseases Nomads Migration

22 Mesopotamia – Fertile Crescent
Sumer – The Earliest of the River Valley Civilizations Sumerian Civilization grew up along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now Kuwait.

23 Sumerians invented: Cuneiform Wheel
Base 60 – using the circle degrees Time – 60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute 12 month lunar calendar Brick technology arch ramp ziggurat

24 Babylon First know written law code “Rule of Law”
Hammurabi’s Code BC

25 Code of Hammurabi 8. If any one steal cattle or sheep, or an ass, or a pig or a goat, if it belong to a god or to the court, the thief shall pay thirtyfold for them; if they belonged to a freed man of the king he shall pay tenfold; if the thief has nothing with which to pay he shall be put to death. 22.

If a man's wife be surprised with another man, both shall be tied and thrown into the water, but the husband may pardon his wife and the king his slaves. 137. If a man wish to separate from his wife who has borne him children: then he shall give that wife her dowry, and a part of the fruit of the field, garden, and property, so that she can rear her children. When she has brought up her children, a portion of all that is given to the children, equal as that of one son, shall be given to her. She may then marry the man of her heart.

26 EGYPT “The Gift of the Nile”
Hieroglyphics Pyramids Geometry Advances in medicine and surgery Nile River Sahara Desert

27 Indus River Valley 2500 BC – 1500 BC
Harappan culture Well planned cities Grid pattern Modern plumbing Built on mud brick platforms Protected against seasonal floods Larger cities Houses built of baked brick Smaller towns Houses built of sun-dried mud brick

28 Aryan Migration pastoral  depended on their cattle
warriors  horse-drawn chariots

29 Shang China 1600 BC – 1027 BC Yellow River Valley Advanced culture
Religion Astronomy Calendar Medicine Bronze, jade, stone, bone and ceramic artifacts Lack of contact with foreigners led to belief in: Strong sense of identity Superiority Center of earth Sole source of civilization

30 Zhou China 1122 BC – 256 BC Bronze, jade, silver, gold
Mandate of Heaven Power to rule came from heaven Power could be removed if ruler not just Veneration of ancestors All must honor family responsibilities Period ended with Era of Warring States

31 Mesoamerica and Andean South America 2900 BC – 1400 BC
Maize, chili peppers, avocados, beans Pottery Stone bowls Beads Waddle and daub structures No draft animals

32 Mesoamerica and Andean South America 3500 BC – 1400 BC
Andes Textiles technology Sophisticated government Religion Lacked ceramics Largely without art Most impressive achievement was monumental architecture Large platform mounds Sunken circular plazas
