Chapter 1, pt 1

In Ways of the World it explains that everything as we know it isn't actually anything because it is only a tenth of what is really out there. Everything as we may know it can mean so much to people, but if you step back and look at the facts and history of our world you will realize that everything really means nothing. What we know already is what we have been discovering since humans first began to roam the earth, but it still isn't everything. The three C's describes why world history means so much to all of us change, comparison and connection. Slowly overtime as we gained information about the events that happened on earth we began to grow and develop. Making it easier to pass through different eras and in each era creating something new for the next. Every new invention came with a new issue as time went on showing more of the inequality between us humans (inequality). Although inequality is shown it begins to start connecting people with each other. The three C's make it easier to share world history and expand our new eras and invent new things so that we can repeat the same process in the next era. Our history has slowly been past down from generations through stories and personal theories. Such as how we humans evolved, Charles Darwin believed that homo sapiens evolved from monkeys. Since his theory has "factual evidence" we believe it, making it just another story passed down to the modern area, that we view as history. Since the paleolithic era to the modern era we have evolved creating more resources for us humans to use to survive, making the first inventions history and the second the present and the next the future until the cycle repeats. Many of the stories we hear about history start with the Africans because that is where the first stories of civilians began. It is said that Africa is where the human revolution began and new inventions and ways of doing things first emerged. Almost 100,000 years ago humans began to evolve making their way out of Africa and into different continents proving that humans can survive in almost any type of environment because they were able to develop and invent new things to help them survive in the conditions they were in. As civilians traveled through the different continents questions were raised, languages were developed, agriculture and trade was established. Seeing the evolution and hearing stories of our history helps each person see the change, connect and compare. When humans first emerged in the paleolithic era they gathered in small communities each developing their own type of culture and language. During this time the inequality between men and women began to show. Men being hunters while women prepared the food and watched the children. As time went on and small communities joined others or grew bigger on their own there began more inequality between men and women. As time went on religions were developed in the communities, some having similar or the same religious beliefs. In the paleolithic era cultures were developed and expanded creeping the communities into the neolithic era.
