One hundred and fifty thousand years is an extremely long time - the very opposite of "brief," in fact. As centuries gave way to millennia, the development of our species was slowly and incrementally shaped by three major "revolutions": the Cognitive Revolution, which saw the emergence of language and our ability to believe in collective invented "realities" like the concept of gods and, later, money; the Agricultural Revolution, which ushered in large-scale domestication of animals leading to a switch from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to that of farmer; and, more recently, the Scientific Revolution, during which humanity set about deciphering the mysteries of the world." - BookBrowse.com   Find the Book on Amazon
