Although the women were no longer restrained by the need to carry infants long distances, and the presence of a crying child would not have had the same effect on domesticated animals as on the hunted prey, they still had to be concerned about the safety of the toddler. Any task taking place while caring for children also had to be interruptible. Men and women had to spend the majority of their time…

EARLY EXPLORERS Hello! My name is Hannah Dewar and today I am going to be talking about the early explorers and the Fertile Crescent. First I will talk about the early explorers.

Could you imagine walking around this! The explorers had to be careful; if the ice they were standing on broke, well they…

000 BCE, people known as Nomads did not have a permanent area to settle in. They constantly traveled where their non-domesticated livestock went. Between 10,000 BCE through 550 BCE evidence of settlements began to show. Located within the Fertile Crescent, “[Sumerians were the only group that gave] evidence if settlements, systematic agriculture, developed urban life, and the use of writing” (Backman, 4). Later on throughout 10,000 BCE through 550 BCE other settlers such as the Akkadians (2350…

The Indus River Valley Civilization is the first civilization in India. The Indus Valley is located in the…

Early humans in the Lower Paleolithic Age lived in assorted habitats which allowed them to gather seafood, nuts,eggs, and fruits not collected by scavenging. Hunting and gathering was thought to be the main strategy used by human societies to collect food about 1.8 million years ago, and from its re-appearance about 0.2 million years ago. It remained the only way of collecting food until the end of the Mesolithic period about 10,000 years ago. Beginning in transition between the Middle to Upper…

As we saw previously, the possible explanation behind why some societies advanced more than others lays on two possible theories. The first, developed by Jared Diamond, argues that the environment is the principal agent behind how different societies developed. The second, explained by Lawrence E. Harrison, claims that the differences lie on certain cultural values and attitudes such as people’s sense of community, their ethical system, the exercise of authority and views about education and…
