Second of a two quarter sequence. How did we get here? And where are we going? This course tries to answer these questions by taking a global approach to the whole of human history. It looks at every continent, from the Ice Age to 21st century, asking how and why humans have multiplied so much, spread out so much, fought so much, consumed so much, and made some of their number so much richer than others.nnIt focuses on the great global processes that have brought us to this point¿the biological evolution of humans; the creation of art and religion; the origins of agriculture; the invention of hierarchy, gender discrimination, and slavery; the rise of cities and states; the formation of empires; globalization; the scientific and industrial revolutions; and finally the ongoing revolutions in genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics and the competing revolutions in weapons of mass destruction.
