Exploring Stone Henge
Q: Come up with the single discipline that you think would be best suited to understand why Stonehenge exists.
A: I would chose a geologist.A geologist would know about the massive stones used to build Stonehenge. I would ask how they were created and cut and where they came from.Stonehenge is made of stone and geologists study stone.
To grow plants, you need light, land, and water. The Fertile Crescent has rivers, warmth, and sunlight. Modern people had lived in that area for tens and thousands of years. The rivers allowed for crop irrigation and the deposit of fertile silt with seasonal floods. They could use the river and boats to transport crops and supples to other places. It is a very hot place and when there were droughts, there would be starvation because people were living sedentary lives and didn’t move with their food.
Migration and Intensification
Farming, civilization, and modernity happened in the last 10 - 15,000 years in the Fertile Crescent and Egypt. The first states or nations arose here too. Agrarian surplus allows for division of labour and specialization and the building of states and a ruling class. Hunters and gathers were more egalitarian.
Agriculture represents a massive change in human activity from nomadic hunting and gathering.Hunters and gathers adapted to the environment, but agriculturists adapted the environment to them.
Farming allowed a greater carrying capacity of humans on land, and this allowed more humans to live closer together and fostered collective learning. Agriculture improved connectivity by helping to develop writing for keeping track of crops and livestock, Cuneiform.
Innovators raised the carrying capacity of humans on earth.
