Substantive examples are drawn from a diverse set of time periods and geographical locations.

2312  The Rise of Civilization (3) Fulfills Social Science Integration.
   Human society has changed drastically in the last 10,000 years. For 90 percent of our (pre)history humankind lived in small, egalitarian bands of hunter-gatherers.

This class will explore the rise of complex societies, comparing early complex societies in the Old World and the New World.
