    3. Unless otherwise noted, all references to Jackson J. Spielvogel’s Western Civilization (7th edition) will be in the same sequence as written in the book. Page references (in parentheses) will probably be found earlier in previous editions. The Hunter-Gatherers of Old Stone Age (pg 2) First humans do not grow crops, raise animals Early developments... Creation of “constructed” shelter Discovery and uses of fire Development of “tools”

    4. The Neolithic Revolution.... (pg 4) Agricultural Revolution Consequences... (pg 5) Fixed dwellings (for homes, storage) domesticated animals Leads to trade, specialization and division of labor Men holding power (via “importance”? and/or “violence”?)

    5. Later developments.... Writing (concrete terms, numbers) Use of “new” metals (including “alloys”) “wealth” ===> armies, walled cities

    6. The Emergence of Civilization (pg 6) Characteristics of civilization.... Urban focus Distinct religious structure New political, military “structures” New social structure Further development of writing Artistic, intellectual activity

    8. Where did civilizations emerge? “Mesopotamia” (Tigris - Euphrates Rivers) (modern _____ ?) Egypt (Nile River) India (Indus River, or Harappan, civilization) China (the Yellow a.k.a. Yangtze a.k.a. Chang Jiang River) Central Asia (Turkmenistan / Uzbekistan) Peru (Supe River)

    9. Civilization in Mesopotamia (pg 7) Tigris - Euphrates floods unpredictable, potentially catastrophic Solution: large-scale irrigation walled cities (empires / wars) most prominent building = ziggurat = temple “divine kings” primarily agricultural (90% of people farm) but commerce, industry become “important”
