The Humanistic Tradition Introduction

Paleolithic Culture (ca. 6 million--10,000 B.C.E.)

A key issue: Creation or evolution?

Hominids: near human or proto-human Homo habilis: tool-making human Homo erectus: upright human Homo sapiens: symbol-making (e.g. burial rites)

Neolithic Culture (ca. 8000-4000 B.C.E.)

Major factor: the rise of agriculture

What changes allowed the transition from nomadic to sedentary societies?

Birth of Civilization (1) --Birth of City: rural → urban/commercial irrigation system --Example: Sumer in Mesopotamia

Ancient Mesopotamia http://www.wwnorton.com/college/history/ralph/ralimage/map2meso.jpg

Birth of Civilization (2) --Birth of writing: pictograph --Example: Cuneiform: Sumer Hieroglyph: Egypt

Cuneiform → “wedge” form http://www.upenn.edu/museum/Games/cuneiformorigin.gif

http://www. bible-history http://www.bible-history.com/babylonia/cuneiform_tablet_writing_close_black.gif

hieros = holy, glyphs = carving http://www.khm.de/mg/grundkurse/textverarbeitung/texte/Egypt_Hieroglyphe2.jpg

The Rosetta Stone http://www.bgst.edu.sg/realia/o17.JPG

Discovery of the Rosetta Stone “The Rosetta Stone, which provided the key to deciphering the writings of Ancient Egypt, was discovered near the town of Rosetta (now Rashid), located in the Nile Delta about 40 miles northeast of Alexandria, by a Frenchman, Pierre Bouchard, on 15 July 1799. Captain Bouchard, an engineer officer in Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, was supervising the reconstruction of an old fort . . . .” http://mcclungmuseum.utk.edu/permex/egypt/egypt.htm

Greek hieroglyphs Demotic: simplified hieroglyphs http://www-helix.inrialpes.fr/IMG/jpg/correspondance.jpg

British Museum, London http://www.mike-reed.com/images/Travel%20Journal/England/080%20-%20British%20Museum%20-%20London,%20England%20-%20Rosetta%20Stone.JPG

Birth of Civilization (3) --Advances in metallurgy: more durable tools & weapons (than stones & bones) --Example: bronze casting

Myth 1. Myths are grounded in sensual evidence, therefore rich in visual imagery. 2. Myths are closely related to morality, rituals, and religious beliefs. 3. Similarities of earlier myths: “the genesis of first life forms from water”
