Question 1 History comes in all shapes and sizes. Without it, the world would be lost. Global history, pre-history, and ancient history all provide the world with evidence as to what the world is, how the world came about, and who the world is. Without the three main studies of history, the world would be a missing puzzle piece. Global history; the understanding of how the world’s history has shaped the world today. At the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point students are required to take global scope courses. This is a requirement so students have an understanding as to how and why the world is what it is today. Without these courses of global scope, students would not have a good understanding …show more content…
By studying the land of Africa, human origins have been discovered of up to one hundred and ninety-five thousand years ago. Beginning with the study of Omo 1. Omo 1 is one of the first to show signs of the human species. He lived, laughed, loved, learned, and taught as humans do today. Omo 1 led archeologists to the discovery of other human traces. Two hundred thousand years ago is when it’s said that humans had burst into life. This study is backed up by DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid); one of the keys to human evolution. Omo 1 was the discovery and tool that led archeologists to their conclusions about the human origin today. Through the study of Omo 1 transitions this into a discussion of ancient …show more content…
Artifacts found, literary sources, oral sources, local knowledge, and lack of knowledge are five reasons an area may undergo a scientific study. Locals may find artifacts or relic throughout a piece of land, village, or city. When pieces of history are found archeologists may take an interest in that because it could lead them back in time to conclude something from the past or even bring something new about. Old literary sources or books have provided information of settlement locations for archeologists. This provides archeologists with information that has not yet been documented for future or past references. Oral sources usually are provided by locals. Archeologist will communicate with locals to discover stories about the past that may enable the truth about certain information. Archeologists found that oral sources can sometimes lead to the truth or nothing at all. Local knowledge can fit in with oral sources or artifacts found. They are similar because local knowledge comes from locals who may find something interesting they would like to share visually or orally with an archeologist. Although, local knowledge is not exactly the same because it’s not a story or an object they found, but a piece of history that has been around for a while. Local knowledge is a local that knows where an archeologist may be able to find something of importance. Lack of knowledge is
