Chapter 2 (First Civilizations)
The 1st Civilizations-
This segment of the Chapter focuses on Human life after the Palaeolithic and Neolithic era. At this point in time, agriculture was the norm for most groups of humans. This was a major step up in the way people would sustain their ways of life because of the creation of Agriculture.
This chapter mainly focuses on the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians. Their ways of life and habits evolved over time and made for better ways of writing and communication, Education, cleaner resources, health/medicine, improved architecture and building, and food quality.
Religion also became widespread during this era and this made for laws and principles that created a basis of what to do and what not to do. Usually, people would practice the religion that was most popular in their area and they were followed strictly. Pieces of architecture such as the Pyramids in Egypt serve as proof that human building techniques were becoming more and more advanced as time went by.
Because of religion, gender inequality also became widespread. Many civilizations around the world had somewhat misogynous beliefs in the sense that men were above women and could own women. Men at this time were the ones making food, building structures, and handling trade. Women were usually expected to bare babies and grow the population and take care of the home while men were out doing work.
