Pop Quiz: What are the three most important events that humans have undergone in their entire history? Transform – verb. To change (something) completely and usually in a good way.
Agricultural Revolutions • Why the shift? • Domestication and Semi-cultivation • New Technology: Slash-and-burn and swidden agriculture • Why not call it the Neolithic Revolution?
Key Elements • Animal Domestication Dog first, then sheep, goats, cattle, water buffalo, pigs • Selective Breeding • Mixed farming and herding Largely determined by environmental factors
Ecological Crisis • Why did so many adopt Agriculture? (Holocene) • Why did others still reject agriculture? Pastoralism ruled in N. America, Australia, and Northern Eurasia • Demographic Shifts: 2 million people 13,000 years ago, 50-100 million people 7,000 years ago.
Life in Neolithic Communities • Benefits and Risks? • Violent or peaceful process? • Expansion = surpluses and slow rate • Rise of Institutions Nuclear families (no), kinship networks (yes)
Cultural Expressions • Religion Shift to focus on Earth Mother, Sky God, and ancestor cults • Language Likely necessitated out of trade (Similarity in language groups)
Making Comparisons I need 11 volunteers to come to the front of the room.
Direct Comparisons: • What characteristics could we use to compare an Apple and an Orange? • If we wanted to compare their appearance, would it be appropriate to say that one is orange and the other has a smooth, somewhat shiny appearance? • Reorganize your groups into new categories using DIRECT comparisons. Remember, you must have at least 3 groups, and at least 2 artifacts in each group. • If we wanted to compare two societies, what characteristics could we use?
GRAPES Comparison • Geography • Religion • Achievements • Politics • Economics • Social Structure
