Big Era Two is the era that covers the

period from 200,000 to

10,000 years ago.

Big Era Two wasfraught

with change.

Shall we do a

quick review?

Homo erectus – 200,000 years ago

Homo sapiens – 10,000 years ago

Notice any changes?

Would you say there were:

(c) Lots of changes?

(b) Some changes?

(a) No changes?

If you said there were “(c) Lots of

changes,” you were obviously

paying attention during

Big Era Two.

If, on the other hand, you chose

“(a) No changes” or “(b) Some changes,” you must have been out with the flu during Big Era Two.

(Hope you are feeling better!).

So, we will go with “(c) Lots of

changes” in Big Era Two, right?

Before moving on, jot them

down.

1. Was farming a good idea?

• “Standard of living” refers to a measure of what we have relative to what we need for subsistence. – For example, we all need adequate shelter appropriate to

the climate where we live. – We need food, clean water, and access to health care. – In addition, we need literacy and education. – To measure standard of living, demographers generally

calculate statistics such as life expectancy, daily caloric intake, and literacy rates.

– Collectively, these statistics give us an idea of how likely people in a given country or region are to have what they need for survival.

1. Was farming a good idea?• “Quality of life” refers to the degree of satisfaction and contentment

we feel about our lives. – Whereas standard of living is an objective measure, quality of

life is more subjective. • For example, some people may have little in the way of

material possessions, yet they may have rich relations with family and friends, enjoy leisure pursuits that cost little, have jobs that provide sufficient food and clothing, and generally feel satisfied with their lives.

• Others may be wealthy and live in large homes full of appliances and gadgets, but they work long hours in demanding careers, eat fast food meals on the run, and have little time for family and leisure.

• These people may feel they have a poor quality of life.• ...

– write as many advantages and disadvantages for each way of life as they can think of. Several are mentioned in the reading.

Prior to farming, population size in any one area was limitedby the availability of wild game, grain, berries, seeds, and nuts.

Farming and the large, relatively dependable crops it provides allowed for…

POPULATION INTENSIFICATION

That means population increases

in certain areas. Population in those areas became both larger and denser.

By the end of Big Era Three, about 1000 BCE, there

were several well-established

civilizations in Afroeurasia.

There were also two new ones in the Americas.

At least two civilizations in Afroeurasia, the Minoan in the Mediterranean region and the

Harappan in the Indus River valley had already come and gone.

That translates into:

Central governmentsArmies

Monumental buildingsWritten languageSocial hierarchies

Complex belief systems

In 10,000 BCE none of these existed in the world. By 1,000 BCE they all did.

Make a few notes and

discuss this question with your teacher and fellow students.

What factors do you think

might account for this

increasing rate of change?

You may have noticed that the difference

between the rate of change in Big Era Two and in Big Era Three is

enormous.

Come to think of it, things changed REALLY fast In

the 20th century. I wonder what the rate of change is going to be like in the 21st

century?

As you move on to Big Era Four (1,200

BCE to 500 AD), keep your eye on the rate of change. Does it keep increasing?

Level off? Slow down?

Do the factors you have identified as

affecting the rate of change in Big Era Two and Big Era Three still apply?
