Chapter 2 Outline ? The First River-Valley Civilizations, 3500?1500 B.C.E. Chapter 2 ? The First River-Valley Civilizations, 3500?1500 B.C.E. I.??????? Mesopotamia Settled Agriculture in an Unstable Landscape Mesopotamia is the alluvial plain area alongside and between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The area is a difficult environment for agriculture because there is little rainfall, the rivers flood at the wrong time for grain agriculture, and the rivers change course unpredictably. Mesopotamia does have a warm climate and good soil. By 4000 B.C.E. farmers were using cattle-pulled plows and a sort of planter to cultivate barley. Just after 3000 B.C.E. they began constructing irrigation canals to bring water to fields farther away from the rivers.

CHAPTER 1 OUTLINE ? From the Origins of Agriculture to the First River-Valley Civilizations I. History and Culture in the Ice Age A. Food Gathering and Stone Tools 1. The period known as the Stone Age lasted from 2 million years ago to 4,000 years ago. It is subdivided into the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age?to 10,000 years ago) and the Neolithic (New Stone Age). 2. The Paleolithic age is characterized by the production of stone tools that were used in scavenging meat from dead animals and later in hunting. Homo sapiens proved to be particularly good hunters and may have caused or helped to cause the extinction of mastodons and mammoths about 11,000 years ago.

The Kumeyaay had a federation of autonomous self-governing clans or bands. They grew trees, grains and numerous other crops in addition to maintaining wild stock.

If it was not for the creation of writing by the early people we would still be living like them. Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and the Chinese people all invented some type of unique writing form. Writing is a defining part in many civilizations histories.

Earth and Its People: Chapter 2 Early China, 2000-221 B.C.E. Geography and Resources China possesses numerous natural barriers which include: The Himalaya mountains to the southwest The Takla Makan Desert, the?Pamir and Tian mountains to the west The Gobi Desert and Mongolian steppe to the northwest steppe - ?a large area of flat unforested grassland? Pacific Ocean to the east This created a great natural isolation and self-sufficiency (though not nearly as dramatically as with Egypt), China comes into contact with other cultures, but refuses to be influenced Mountains make travel, transport, and communication difficult, and rivers are used for east-west movement For this reason, as well as for predictable flooding, rivers are very important Rivers
