1 jan 8000 ano antes da era comum - Light civilizationing
Descrição:
Because of Agriculture...
We go through that process of civilization-ing that we're all so familiar with:
More food --> longer life expectancy --> lower mortality rates --> larger populations --> specialization of labor --> social hierarchies --> organized culture, politics, and belief systems --> technological advancements --> even more people (which calls for... more food!) and so on and so forth.
I'll probably go into specifics later.
NOTE THE MILLION CURRENCY-OF-CHOICE QUESTION: How can we define a civilization, and does the use of the word imply that societies that differ from that definition are less cool than we are?
(unanswered, or answered so complicatedly that I can't be bothered to write it out here; just think on it)
