  • Summary

  • The goal of this project is to document the history of humanity by documenting all of humanity’s attempts to defeat it’s greatest foe. Itself. This is not going to be a straightforward documentation of kings fighting and destroying each other, though there will be many mentions and examples of that. This will attempt to explain our subjects from the ground up. The common foot soldiers to the leaders at their head. Their strategies, tactics, weapons, and technologies. Their triumphs and tragedies. Their lives and their deaths. What they fought for and why. What motivated them. What drove them.

    Central Africa and it's Gatherers
    Apr 29 2024

    This week we talk about the ancestors of Central Africa's Pygmy peoples. We discuss why they may have evolved their shorter stature and their potential social organizations and what we know of their languages. We also discuss the all encompassing importance of the forest to them and what role music played in this importance.

    Neolithic South Africa and Pastoral East Africa
    Apr 22 2024

    I return this week after a very frustrating experience last week to talk about the ancestors of the modern Khoi and San peoples and some of the reasons that these peoples haven't had to change as quickly as those living in other regions. I also dive into some discussion about hunter gatherer warfare or conflict and what the differences between that and settle warfare were.

    In our last Urbanization special for season 4 we talk about the first major urban sites in Mesopotamia and the Indian subcontinent, and what we know and don't know about them at this early date. We also talk about why these areas were ahead of their neighbors in seeing cities form.
