Chapters 1, 2 & 3: Ancient Civilizations

     The Paleolithic lifestyle has its benefits especially if people today consider the possible benefits. If people are taking the time to consider the benefits then they must value the lifestyle.

Women argue they played a bigger role in providing and were regarded with more power, respect, and honor. Also Paleolithic diet is better for us than today's diet.

      The first farmers made it possible to produce and store food so that people can be feed. This allowed for the population to flourish. As food became a steady source then people we able to become civilized. This is the beginning of civilization.

      A quote from the text states,
"Just when does a city become a town? Or a state? At what point does a chiefdom become a state?"
      The scholars are left arguing over these details. Personally I think the fact that the population and civilizations were increasing caused these tribes and civilizations to grow over  a period of time creating a village to a town to a city and to even a state eventually.
