Chapter 1

Till this day how the world came to exist is still an unresolved mystery. Scientists say to have the answer, but in reality no one really knows. Based on the cosmic calendar we have an idea of how life on earth started and evolved throughout the years. As people die they pass on traditions that are kept throughout history, but some might change due to changes in the world. For a good amount of time people needed to hunt and gather their own food in order to survive.  People also easily adapted to any type of environment and began to cultivate their own crops. These people made the best based on what was available to them. They also made tools out of stone to hunt and use for farming. As the years went on they found new ways to improve their life; making tools out of bones. As they migrated to the Middle East, Europe, and East Asia they would leave drawings in the places where they lived. 

During the Paleolithic time the amount of people in their societies wee quite small around 25 people in them. Most relationships were pretty intimate, not telling people about their lives. This society wasn't too advance women and men had different occupations; men usually hunted while the women were in charge of gathering the food. Many people knew how to utilize what was available even though conditions in that area weren't the best. There is enough evidence to say that these early people were into doing ceremonies. The major changed during this era occurred during the ice age, followed by global warming. Organisms that were perviously unadaptable to the cold weather were now able to flourish in this climate. Now people were able to permanently settle down and build their homes as well as having bigger societies. In addition, people began to make things out of pottery. As people settled more and more people became interested in the land that was slowly prospering. 

All this began the process of evolution. Even animals were breeding and their babies were healthy produced rich fur/milk. The Ice Age made it possible for people and animals to be even more successful getting rid of the larger animals. While climate change had a positive impact of the environment helping crops and plants grow. It took humans quite a while to master agriculture of their own figuring out how to grow crops. As the demand for crops became greater they had to step up the way of cultivating. Other societies near them shared their strategies and ideas. The movement of different cultures was reflected in the language changes. Paleolithic people slowly disappeared. Soon the population increased and more food was needed to survive leading to diseases because more farming had to be done, and the interactions with the animals gave people diseases like small pox. Different societies came to exists staring with the Pastoral societies. These societies depended a lot on their animals since farming wasn't successful in their area. The Agricultural society were based on farms. This society was pretty small so men and women could have do more than just one occupation. Lastly the Chiefdoms were positions with power that were passed on through family. These positions weren't used to tell people what to do, but more on the lines to help and give to their people.
