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.

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
