points in history. The turning point known as the Neolithic Revolution resulted in many positive impacts on the development of civilization. Compared to the Paleolithic Era, the Neolithic Age completely altered the lifestyle of the human race. early humans. A turning point in history is when a change occurs that alters the course of history.
This brought about what is known as the Bronze Age. The Bronze Age lead to new tools being introduced for farming. Also people began to make items for their house out of bronze (pans & hunting tools). This was all part of the journey beginning the Neolithic Revolution. As this time period went on people started to migrate to places and settle their for a while.
Ronaldo Pintado 10/26/13 Period 1 A.P European History The Scientific Revolution was a very important period in history that established new ideas in science and new views on the universe. This revolution didn’t just start in the 16th and 17th century. This went back as early as the Middle Ages. The reason is because as well as new ideas and discoveries were made, philosophers were also reexamining and revising old theories and data from the late Middle Ages and contributing it in their own work. During this revolution, there were many great philosophers who made incredible contributions to science and changed the way people look at the world around them.
These technologies included new farming implements and methods, Railroads, steam engines, and the telegraph, to name a few. This was the beginning of what would come to be known as the Industrial Revolution. There are several reasons why the Industrial Revolution Began in England. Britain had many resources, including timber and steel and iron ore. It also had a stable government, which allowed for the people to begin industrializing in the first place, harbors for trade, a very large population resulting in a very large workforce, and many water ways throughout the country to transport materials and products as well as to use for water power at mills.
Throughout the history of mankind, the change of different societies from having an economic system to another has always brought dramatic changes. The necessity of changing the way some group obtains and manages its resources often comes along with some kind of change in the environment where it resides or of its own people and the technologies it possesses. In Archeology, a very important and interesting transition is that of a hunting-gathering subsistence economy to one based on agriculture and domestication. This was the first dramatic change that enabled humanity to evolve to its current state. After intensive research and examination of numerous sites, it is clear that this change did not occur in a sudden way, people did not just decide to domesticate plants and animals instead of gathering and hunting them.
global crisis. Intensification of their food search ; Agriculture began. Enhanced production and intensification of infection that resulted from a more sessile existence. Slash and burn agriculture → wheat and barley traveled across Eurasia within 5000y. 4000 BC : human communities learned to build sailing vessels.
Although there are many key elements of the rapid industrialization during the 19th century that aided in producing the outcomes (Urbanization, Social Classes/Living Conditions, Inventions), the most significant features that gave life to industrial and social progression were the introduction of mechanization, and the improvements made to transportation during the era of the Industrial Revolution. Mechanization: The first and one of the most important positive aspects of the Industrial Revolution was the mechanization of most labor methods, which allowed for a higher rate of production for and contributed greatly to the economic expansion and development of Western societies. The first example of mechanical introduction during the early years of the Industrial Revolution was that of the cotton textile industry. Prior to the inventions of Elias Howe (sewing machine) and
Progression from man-made spearheads to global networks, humans have actively utilized technology to better their quality of life. Technology is rapidly and consistently re-creating the way humans live their lives. From how they eat, work and travel to how they have fun, technology has transitioned to be an important part of today’s life. Today, most people live to be older, including a large number of those being from third world countries. The advancement of agricultural techniques and tools has made it easier for the world to produce more goods with less effort at lower costs.
The Inevitability of Negative Consequences of the Industrial Revolution The perception of the industrial revolution as a key factor in changing the way of life is a fair statement. It is termed a “revolution” because the changes it produced were great and sudden. This revolution first appeared in Britain in the 1700s, fostering attitudes toward capitalism and modern industry everywhere. New traditions replaced old traditions, machinery replaced people, and people moved to urban cities from rural areas; simply, the way of life had been changed forever. The industrial revolution introduced mass production and greater markets.
Chapter 2: The Earliest Human Societies Lesson 1 Hunters and Gatherers MAIN IDEAS Geography Early humans adapted to the natural environment. Culture Humans created tools to ensure survival and to improve life. Culture Early humans developed language, religion, and art. Early Humans’ Way of Life ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did early humans interact with the environment? Hunter-Gatherers Adapt to Environments • Early humans were hunter-gatherers - hunted animals, gathered plants for food - moved to a new location when food ran out • Depended on natural environment for shelter - lived in caves and shelters made of rocks, branches, animal skins Small Bands • Lived in small bands of about 30 people - group included several families - group size reflected how many people could live off food in region • Men hunted, fished • Women gathered nuts, berries; cared for children - children also worked Early Humans on the Move • Hunter-gatherers were nomads—people who moved from place to place • Groups returned to the same places with the changes of seasons - bands joined together at certain times of year, formed communities • Moved to new, distant lands while following animals to hunt - migration—moving from one place to settle in another Chapter 2: The Earliest Human Societies World History: Ancient Civilizations 1 Early Humans on the Move • By 15,000 B.C., hunter-gatherers had migrated through much of world - crossed land bridge between Siberia and Alaska, entering Americas • Migrating groups entered territory of other groups - groups shared knowledge, tools - sometimes caused violent conflicts if groups feared each other REVIEW QUESTION Why did hunter-gatherers move often?
