How did geography shape the migration?

How did the Austronesian migration differ from other early patterns of human
movement?

Remains discovered at Blombos Cave are one example of the more complex culture some humans were developing as many as 90,000 years ago.

Bone points from the cave
Ochre piece with scrapemarks. A person may havescraped the ochre to get powder to use to makebody paint.
The people who lived in this seaside camp:
• Made sharp stone spear points using methods that appeared in Eurasia only 50,000 or more years later.
• Made objects from bone, the earliest use of this material known.
• Scored bits of bone and ochre with marks that may have had symbolic meaning.

Neolithic Revolution
Around 8,000 B.C., the Neolithic Revolution occurred & early humans discovered how
to farm & domesticate animals
Farming changed the way humans lived:People no longer
had to be nomads Food surpluses led to population increases
Farming villages became established along river valleys for their good soil & irrigation
![Page 8: Migrations of Homo sapiens “Peopling of the Earth”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681641a550346895dd5d253/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Neolithic Revolution(9,000BCE-3,500BCE)
• Sometimes termed the Agricultural Revolution.• Humans begin to slowly domesticate plant and animal stocks in Southwest Asia.
• Agriculture requires nomadic peoples to become sedentary.
• Populations begin to rise in areas where plant and animal domestication occurs.

Core and foundational civilizations developed in a variety of geographical and environmental settings where agriculture flourished.
Mesopotamia in the Tigris and Euphrates River Valleys Egypt in the Nile River Valley Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa in the Indus River Valley Shang in the Yellow River or Huang He Valley Olmecs in Mesoamerica Chavín in Andean South America

The first states emerged within core civilizations.
Early civilizations based around city-statesPower new states replaced city-states as main political unit.Rulers were viewed as divine.Kept power by maintaining a strong military.Competition between city-states and nomads lead to an increase in conflict!

Egyptian Religion & Politics
Pharaohs (God-Kings)Considered gods on Earth who ruled over gov’t, religion, & the militaryThis is known as a theocracy*Comparison: Mesopotamian kings were representatives of gods, but they themselves were not considered gods

POLITICAL AND MILITARY STRUCTURE
Pastoralists (nomadic herders) interact quite often with “urban societies”2 examples would be through new weapons and modes of transportation.Examples: Iron weapons and chariotsWhat would the effect be on “settled societies”?

Architecture and Urban Planning
Specialization, conquest, and trade promote large building
projects.

Ziggurats
Prevalent in Mesopotamia.Usually the most prominent building in the city.Made of mud bricks.Dedicated to the chief god or goddess of the city.Priests/Priestesses controlled these structures.

Systems of Record Keeping
Eventually would branch out to include other forms of “writing”.Examples: - cuneiform – Mesopotamia - hieroglyphs – Egypt - alphabets – Phoenicia

Cuneiform
C. 3000 BCE in Mesopotamia.A reed stylus was used to make “wedge-shaped” impressions on clay tablets which were then baked or dried.PicturesSymbols Phonetic system

Legal Codes
States would eventually use writing to develop legal codes.Often reflected existing hierarchies and helped the government rule over the people.

The Code of Hammurabi
Read the Code of Hammurabi excerpt on p. 13 in the Duiker book.What do these points of law from the Code of Hammurabi reveal to you about Mesopotamian society?

New Religious BeliefsThe Vedic religion – Indus River ValleyHebrew monotheism – PalestineZoroastrianism – Persia
New religious beliefs develop later in the period that in most cases offer a contrast to the “polytheistic” beliefs of early religions.
![Page 42: Migrations of Homo sapiens “Peopling of the Earth”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681641a550346895dd5d253/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The Vedic Religions
Religion of Aryans, an Indo-European group (pastoralists), that migrated into the Indus River Valley c.1500 BCE.Name comes from the collection of sacred texts called the Vedas.Precursor to Hinduism.
![Page 43: Migrations of Homo sapiens “Peopling of the Earth”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681641a550346895dd5d253/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Religion in Mesopotamian Hearth
At first polytheistic, gods had human characteristics Toward the end of the period, Zoroastrianism, a monotheistic religion similar to Judaism emerged and will be most noted in the next period with the Persian

Hebrew Monotheism
Abraham considered the “Father” of Hebrew monotheism also known as Judaism. c. 2000 BCEWorship of “one god” is relatively new.Moses and the 10 Commandments.Christianity and Islam have connections to Judaism.
![Page 45: Migrations of Homo sapiens “Peopling of the Earth”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681641a550346895dd5d253/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Zoroastrianism
Founder was Zoroaster who was born in Persia c. 660 BCE.Monotheistic: Ahuramazda is the only god.Dualism – * Ahuramazda=Good * Ahriman=Bad***Man has “free will” to follow who he chooses.

TRADE: Regional and Transregional
Trade begins locallyregionaltransregional.Goods, culture, and technology are all exchanged.Diffusion- the spread of ideas and goods.
![Page 47: Migrations of Homo sapiens “Peopling of the Earth”](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681641a550346895dd5d253/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley
Harappan seals have been found in Mesopotamia which leads us to believe that the 2 regions trade goods.The Indus Valley had cotton which probably was what sparked trade between the 2 regions.
