SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 1: FIRST PEOPLES: FIRST FARMERS
Stone Age = 2,000,000 – 3000 BCE (Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic)
Paleolithic Age = 2,000,000 – 8000 BCE (Before Common Era)
- Evolution from Homo Erectus (walk upright) to Homo Sapiens (larger brain, speech)
- Part of the Ice Age (Pleistocene epoch)
- hunter and gatherer society: tied to nature, moved around, few possessions, egalitarian
Out of Africa
- first peoples (Homo sapiens) came from Africa – stone blades, tools made from bones, grindstones
- fishing and hunting; use of body ornaments, beads, pigment
Into Eurasia
- France and Spain were most heavily researched – new hunting, spears
- CAVE PAINTINGS in color, bulls, horses and other animals
- In Eastern Europe – female figurines with exaggerated female form – then throughout Eurasia
Into Australia
- Probably came from Indonesia about 60,000 years through boats
- 250 languages developed over time
- hunting, aboriginal practices continued up until the Europeans arrived even though agriculture was in
New Guinea
Into the Americas
- earliest settlements came much later than Australia because it was hard to penetrate frigid Siberia
- Clovis Point culture: hunters of large mammoth; learned to live in very different cultures
Into the Pacific
- Last phase of human migration – from New Guinea 3500 years ago (Polynesia, Hawaii, Madagascar)
HUMAN SOCIETY BEFORE THE AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION
- small bands of 25-50 people, seasonally mobile/nomadic to exploit the plant and animal resources
- very little surplus food kept population low and accumulation of goods unnecessary
- Women were freer; primary food gatherers (70% of food); men had the same set of skills and were
hunters
- men and women were considered equal in relationships because they shared division of labor
- female virginity was relatively unknown, polygamy known, but monogamy preferred
- men and women worked fewer hours to meet needs of family, more leisure time
- encouraged plant growth by burning fires
- Religion focused on cosmos, female figures to represent life cycle and fertility
NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION/AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION (8000 – 2000 BCE)
- Neolithic Age = Agricultural Revolution
- domestication of plants and animals (meat, milk, hide/wool and energy (plowing))
- Took thousands of years to develop but it was growing populations, settled villages, animal-borne
disease, horse-drawn chariots warfare, cities, states, empires, civilizations, writing, literature
- Why a new Age? could be climactic change OR extinction of species and a need for a more stable food
source
- people had to work longer and harder for food and the surplus helped develop a larger population
- people became dependent on their domesticated animals and plants…mutual dependence
- permanent settlements (cities) developed, land ownership concept soon led to…
- Specialization of labor, technology, stratification of society (upper and lower class), possessions,
irrigation and agricultural technology, metalworking (weapons), army, religion, writing, government,
higher population density - PATRIARCHY developed as males dominated the food production
- see map below for types of agriculture developed, figs were the first cultivated crop
- a new area of agriculture developed called THE FERTILE CRESCENT (Egypt and Mesopotamia): wheat,
barley, rye, peas, lentils, sheep, goats, pigs and cattle
- In AFRICA, scattered farming practices: sorghum, banana, okra, yams, kola nut, oil palm trees
- In AMERICA, few animals other than alpaca and llama; maize (corn) – few grains
RESULTS? Much larger population (problems/benefits), environmental changes (problems and benefits),
possibility of crop failure and drought, patriarchy (see above), water contamination (human waste),
disease (from animals)
Catalhuyuk – early agricultural village in Turkey (7400-6000 BCE)
BRONZE AGE = 3000-1200 BCE
- most advanced metallurgy using copper and tin to make bronze weapons and tools
- civilizations in the Fertile Crescent and River-valley, China (Shang, Zhou), Nubia, Kush, Minoan,
Mycenaean
IRON AGE = 1200-600 BCE
- iron being used for tools and weapons
- advantage: single metal rather than alloy (easier to make), lots of sources, harder edge
- Civilizations: Americas (Olmec, Chavin), Mesopotamia (Assyrian), Phoenician, Israel, China
