Perspective: Hominid Existence Timeline of Hominid existence Timeline of Hominid existence Graph paper: 1 square = 1000 years Graph paper: 1 square = 1000 years How many squares = hominid existence? How many squares = hominid existence?

Perspective: Hominid Existence Hominid existence = 4000 squares!!! Hominid existence = 4000 squares!!! Look at a sheet of graph paper Look at a sheet of graph paper 55 squares / sheet55 squares / sheet So how many sheets of graph paper?So how many sheets of graph paper? 73 sheets!73 sheets!

Perspective: Civilization Of the 73 sheets, how many represent non- hunter/gatherer man? Of the 73 sheets, how many represent non- hunter/gatherer man? Not even one sheet - only squares!Not even one sheet - only squares! This change from hunter gatherer to settled farmer is called the “Neolithic Revolution” This change from hunter gatherer to settled farmer is called the “Neolithic Revolution” The Neolithic Revolution led directly to civilization The Neolithic Revolution led directly to civilization

Perspective: Civilization and Population Growth Civilization was driven by agriculture Civilization was driven by agriculture More food = more peopleMore food = more people More people = more mouths to feedMore people = more mouths to feed BUT more people = more food you can growBUT more people = more food you can grow With more people & more food, you must organize the people = civilizationWith more people & more food, you must organize the people = civilization THUS: IT IS ALL ABOUT FOOD SURPLUS!!!THUS: IT IS ALL ABOUT FOOD SURPLUS!!!
