AP World History PACING CALENDAR Unit 1: Technological and Environmental Transformations (- 600 BCE) Essential Questions: In what ways did the Neolithic Revolution lead to new and more complex economic and social systems within human societies after 10,000 BCE? Students Learning Outcomes: Week 1 Use archeological evidence to trace the migration of hunting-foraging bands of humans from East Africa throughout Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas. Describe how practice of agriculture and pastoralism associated with the Neolithic Revolution transformed human societies and led to new and more complex social and economic systems over time. Understand why geography, climate, and other aspects of the physical environment helped to determine why core and foundational civilizations first emerged in certain regions of the world but not others. Understand how control over resources influenced state formation within core and foundational civilizations and be able to cite evidence for social stratification in these early civilizations. Evaluate the ways in which culture is both cause and consequence of the increasing complexity of core and foundational civilization and how it helped to reinforce social and political institutions during this time period.
