5 important things to learn in chapter
1. From the simplest barter system to long journeys along trade routes, the exchange of goods and ideas shaped this period and led to further changes throughout the world.
Important Trade Routes that shaped development:
-Silk Road
-Indian Ocean
-Meditterranean Sea
2. Once people began to settle and gradually organize into early civilizations, the discovering of agriculture began to change their lives at a more rapid pace.
3.Gender Roles emerged as humans organized themselves in families.
Development of Agriculture led to division of labor so it deepened these divisions.

This book I have for APWH reminds me of the Spices chart but I think I will put it anyways
1. Interactions between people and environments
which is basically the “I” in SPICES. This basically ask how does the environment affect human societies and vice versa.

- Neolithic Revolution- New Stone Age basically.
-People living in Steppes developed Pastoral Nomadism
-Pastoral Nomadism is basically wander around stalking and caring for animals, as the animals provide their daily needs.
2. Metals
-Copper to Bronze to Iron
-Use of metallurgy allowed humans to develop stronger and more efficient weapons and tools


2. Development and Interactions of Culture.
This is basically the “C” in Spices. This ask how do people express themselves and what is the impact of ideas.
1. Religion

1.Cooperation
-Settle down in larger groups
-Facilitates the need to cooperate and get along
2.Cities

-Not all people need to farm for food.
-Surplus need to be protected

This is basically the “E” in SPICES, asking how do economic developments affect the world?
1. Trade
-Simplest barter system to Long Journey on the Silk Road
-Exchange of goods and ideas shaped this period and led to further changes
-Currency were developed.
-Religions, ideas, and tech spread from one area to another
5. Development and transformation of social structures
This is the second “S” in SPICES. It asks how do people identify themselves socially, and what roles do men and women have?
1.Social Stratification
-Surplus of food means more time to do other things
-Job Specializations
-Social Class Structures based on economic roles
Aristocrats/Nobles
Artisans/Craftsmen
Tradesmen
Peasants.
2.Gender Roles
-With the development of agriculture division of labor deepened
