Civilization is a word with loaded meanings. Often the word is used to describe societies that are agriculturally based, agrarian societies, like ours. To get a sense of timelines and the passage of history, answer the following questions. This link might help you and this link has some good graphics. Blog the answers below:
1. As a review, see earlier blog posts if you need help, where are the earliest Homo Sapiens (us) remains found and how old are those remains.
2. Review again, when did people take the Great Leap forward and what was that leap. (hint, if you don't get this, you too might have to go back 50,000 years hehehe)
3. What climatic event had to end for agriculture to begin?
4. What materials did people, Homo Sapiens, need to start agriculture?
5. About when did agriculture start?
6. Is agriculture the domestication of plants, the domestication of animals, or . . . ?
7. How did agriculture affect ones lifestyle?
8. How does agriculture lead to specialization?
