COMMON IDEAS:List the common answers often associated with Mary Leakey/Donald Johansen:
1. Archaeologists that excavated Eastern Africa (aka the Great Rift Valley)2. Mary Leakey – Archaeologist finding that all human origins began in the Great Rift Valley3. Donald Johansen – Archaeologist that found Lucy (second oldest hominid) in Great Rift Valley
PALEOLITHIC AGE NEOLITHIC AGE PASTORAL SOCIETIES
When did this time period occur?2 million years ago to
about 8000BCE (it ends differently in different
areas of the world)
8000BCE to about 2000CE
Migration out of Africa until today’s times
What were some developments or advancements of the time?
Basic toolsBasic Hammer
Fire
HidesAgricultural ToolsAdvanced Tools
CartsCaravansWeapons
How did people get their food?Hunt and Gather Domesticate animals
Cultivate PlantsUse their domesticated
animals
Did people live nomadic (moving from place to place in search of food) lifestyles? Why/why not?
Nomadic Sedentary Both
Is there any other information that you think is important to know about either time period?
(Maybe mention social roles)
The weather was colder and people living during this time period weren’t able to grow food
People migrated out of Africa during this time period
Travelled in small bands of people (ranging 50-70 in size)
Egalitarian system (men and women had different jobs but were seen as equally important
The weather was warmer and people were able to grow food.
People started growing food food surplus civilizations begin to grow
Mutual dependence between human life and domesticating the plants and animals
The phase between hunting and gathering and sedentary lifestyles
Pastoralists move around with their domesticated animals
Mongols were famous pastoralists
Pastoral areas = Asian steppes, Africa and Middle East
NOT IN AMERICAS bc they don’t domesticate animals until 1400s
List three reasons why historians call the movement from the Paleolithic era to the Neolithic era a ‘revolution’.1. Revolution means change2. It happened independently throughout the world in different areas3. This time period was a CHANGE from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic time period

All river valley civilizations
1. All these civilizations settle near rivers2. Rivers bring fertile soil for agriculture3. Many civilizations create irrigation techniques4. Agriculture allows food surplus food surplus allows for civilizations to
begin.

Roads/Trade
*Romans had an extensive road system all throughout their empire*Road system went all throughout the Afro-Eurasian world (in other words it connected Europe, North Africa and Asia)*Roads were important because they promoted trade and cultural diffusion*Also important because they helped to spread Christianity throughout the empire.*Roads made it easy for Romans to not only conquer new land but to also effectively rule any conquered land
Which society would the Roman Roads be compared to and why?1. Han China – Han China had the Silk Road.2. Han China – Effective bureaucracy. 3. Han China was an extensive piece of land. 4. The road connected the Han Dynasty. It promoted trade and cultural diffusion.
Government
REPUBLIC: *Rome begins as a republic. *A republic is a mix of a Monarchy – Aristocracy – Democracy*People elected the rulers and the senate had the power*PERMS causes the Republic to fall.

DEFINE:Feudalism: Political system: An exchange of land for a type of service or loyalty. Land is owned by a lord or local king. People movie onto manors for protection.
Manorialism: Economic system: The self-Sufficient trade that takes place on the manors
LIST THE COMMON IDEAS FOR:
Feudalism
*Political System – (Exchange of loyalty for military service) *People move onto the manors because they are scared of the Germanic invaders*There is no centralized government during a time of feudalism *The government is DECENTRALIZED
MiddleMiddle
*Politically fragmented*Relatively steady population once people find safety while living on manors
Code of Chivalry
*Code of chivalry is a code of honor that knights live by*Explains a gentleman-like way of fighting*Explains how a knight should treat women*Often compared to Code of Bushido
Roman Catholic Church
*The Roman Catholic Church acted as the centralized force*Unified people during the Middle Ages*During late Middle Ages church ‘civilizes’ the Germanic invaders. People then are not afraid of the invaders and begin moving off of the manor and into cities again.*Germanic invaders begin to replace the old Roman citizen and a new ‘Roman Population’ emerges

Motives for Fighting Crusades
1. To be released from Feudal obligations2. Conquering and defending the Holy Land (Jerusalem)3. Forgiveness of sins4. Desires of goods from the Middle East and India5. Helping defend Christianity in the Byzantine Empire
Result of the Crusades
1. Trade increased2. Feudalism weakens3. Interregional trade4. Europeans begin to search for new trade routes to India. Once the
Muslims sac Constantinople, and tensions remain with Europeans after the Crusades, Muslims shut off Constantinople to Christians. Christians cannot use that as a trade route to India for spices anymore.
What was Pope Urban II’s role in the Crusades?1. He was the Catholic pope who decided to help the Byzantine people fight off the Muslims2. Encouraged many to fight in the crusades

Why were horses so significant to Mongolian rule? Knowledge on horseback and use of bow/arrow on horseback allowed Mongols to conquer the biggest
empire ever seen Mongols could move throughout the huge empire quickly
Explain how Mongol rule extended into the following areas:PERSIA CHINA RUSSIA Mongols enter brutally Slaughtering as the conquer Mongols eventually assimilate,
pick up on Persian bureaucracy and very tolerant of Persian religions
Hard to conquer because of China’s diverse topography
Most Mongols refuse to assimilate…remain tolerant of religious and beliefs
Kublai Khan… runs the Yuan Dynasty
Russia didn’t have much to offer Mongols didn’t directly occupy Collect taxes and get natural
resources through principalities
Why was Genghis (Chinggis Khan) significant to the Mongols?1. He united the Mongol Clans and turned the pastoral lands into an empire2. Built the biggest empire ever built3. Runs successful military campaigns with the organizing his military in decimals (or units) of 10, 100, 1000
Why was Kublai Khan significant to the Mongols?1. He was a Mongol ruler in a Chinese land2. Created a Chinese dynasty called the Yuan Dynasty (after Tang before Ming)3. Assimilated slightly to the Chinese ways4. Adopt bureaucracy… but only allows foreigners (specifically Persians and Muslims) to be in the
bureaucracy so the Chinese do not try to overthrow the MongolsList three reasons that Mongolian Empire went through a Golden Age? (Pax Mongolia)
1. Awesome trading system2. Time of peace and prosperity3. Good road systems to lead the trade routes4. Often compared to the Pax Romana

List three ways the Maya, Aztec and Inca civilizations adapt to their environments?1. Maya- (agricultural surplus)2. Aztec- (floating gardens)3. Inca- (Road systems and terraced farming)
In your opinion, were the early American civilizations advanced BEFORE European contact? Explain!1. Yes… they are all advanced civilization. They all have mathematical advancements, architectural
structures, and religion. Additionally, they all adapt to their environment.2. Even though they’re not pastoral and don’t domesticate animals (because cattle do not migrate over
during the ice age) they are super advanced in cultivating and domesticating plants3. A positive of Columbus is that he does tie together two hemispheres of the world (old and new worlds)
