    4 FEB

    Hour 2 | 4000 - 1700 BCE

    Although this time is often called "The Bronze Age," the use of bronze was not universal, nor was it the only seismic shift in human history occurring at this time, massive civilizations were coalescing and beginning to write their own history, literature, songs, laws and tax codes. Many people’s lives were defined by slavery and warfare. This episode will examine 5 of these early civilizations in modern day Iraq, Peru, India, Egypt, and China, these history classes refer to as “The Five Cradles of Civilization.” Although we will have to dismantle each word in this phrase, we will borrow its framework and zoom through them, discussing food, art, monuments, language, government and more, along the way. After visiting these 5 cradles between 4000 and 1700 BCE, we will hopefully have a more contextualized sense of the word “civilization.” “The Five Cradles of Civilization” Sumer and Akkad in Mesopotamia How Writing Systems Develop Hammurabi’s Code Norte Chico/Caral Pyramids Ancient Egypt More Pyramids How to “Unite” a Land Indus Valley/Harappa Xia Dynasty Origins of Dynastic China What is a Civilization?

    4 FEB

    Hour 1 | 3,300,000 - 4,000 BCE

    In this first episode, we cover the origin story of humanity: how the first hominin groups evolved in Africa and spread across the planet creating art, instruments and stone tools. Eventually these many diverse hominin groups went extinct leaving our species, Homo sapiens, alone on the earth. We discuss the fascinating and complicated neolithic age when many groups began to rely more on cultivated foods. Some people began to work with metal taking parts of the world into the copper age. During this time we find humans living in permanent settlements, some lasting over a thousand years, well before the rise of the first commonly acknowledged "cities." These early human groups invented such essentials as cheese, tea, chocolate, alcohol and their lives and decisions still affect ours every day.
