ancient civilization: ch#1,2,3

 How did humankind came about? I am very intrigued by the history of how humans developed and arrived at and where we are now? But more intrigued I am about the creation of the earth itself and how we then came about which is more important when talking about history. The creation of humans that evolved from the chimpanzee  and other primates that happened 5-6 million years ago emerging from Africa; cultivates my mind. I am not shocked but all this information fascinates me because sciences are the tools that allows us (homo sapiens) the ability to go back into time and try to make sense of what it once use to be.

At the beginning in the Paleolithic era we were gatherer's-hunterere's, and later as we developed so did our brains which made us more smart and allowed us to be domesticate and farm land. Nature takes its course by in earth by all means; for example the frozen glaciers- Ice Age allowed the many different homininds to travel and migrate out of Africa and onto various places such as Eurasia, Australia, Wester Hemisphere, and the Pacific Islands. Not were they looking for new food to survive on, but they also gave human kind to make history.

The development of civilizations and cultures came about the different regions and places that these early humans migrated to; this meant adapting to the various places that they lived in. Different plants, meats, and environments meant learning how to survive in those places. Gather-hunters later became agricultural civilization; thus making them a more civilized group. This meant they they were learning how to grown their own food instead of having to move around for it, and it also meant domesticating other animals which brought meat. 

The author gives great examples on how the early humans begun to create their culture, thus giving them ways of living, and surviving in their environment. The Neolithic or Agriculture Era, dates back to 12,000 years ago, this was the turn of new chapter for human kind. This Era to me, gave direction to the way of life- I will also assume that this is the reason why the dependence of tamed animal and farming are a huge priority in the survival of the life we have today; without it we would die of hunger.

Over time, these early humans developed ways to growing and manipulating the creation of certain foods, thus giving a surplus of it to feed more. To me this would make sense that this was a reason why the amount of humans increased, only because they had the opportunity to feed more but because they also needed more people to work the lands.

Not only now humans new how to farm, and cultivate the land, but they also had invented tools that helped them with all of these labors; which makes sense why they stayed in places instead of migrating to new lands. They begun trading goods and I honestly believe that this gave rise to class. 

By nature all animals have an instinct that allows us to compete and fight amongst each other; as we developed, I believe that we also had ideas on how should be on top and who should be on the bottom. The competition over who has control has marked the human kind since the beginning of time, we have always struggled with power and who will seize control. No wonder we have seen why there are wars and why there was evidence of such ordeal when Anthropologist and other scientist make these discoveries.

I really liked the way the author put together these first three chapters, they make sense and I finally feel confident enough  to understand why things flow in the timeline the way that they do. I have a greater understanding of how the various people are from different colors (races), and why everyone is so unique in there own shape or form.

without a doubt i enjoyed reading.
