Reflection 1

History has always been a tough one for me because so much information about events have changed over years. The information that I get from my book shares  a lot of great knowledge that I never knew before. Especially because the first years were ignored, so many people don't learn much about them.  

In chapter one you learn about the beginning of the world and the variety of all the different species that were around.What is crazy is that it shares information that about 95% of history of human were on earth at that time.  This was the   Paleolithic era where women did the gathering and men did the hunting. 


In chapter 2, we learn about how agriculture turned a new leaf for these species and how global warming helped with their foods. These leaders would also be the ones in charge of trade for goods. This also gave people more control of their living situation.  Because of this era known as the Neolithic era people lost their hunting and gathering skills. But with this came civilization and the need for leaders and new conflicts.  The population of people grew and city states where then built. hierarchy, religion, cultures were introduced to this new era.
