Episode:Sudden & Radical Changes in Human History, with David Kantor
For hundreds of thousands of years humanity existed in a relatively stable relationship with nature. But then suddenly within the space of a few thousand years, agriculture, animal domestication, complex irrigation techniques, temple construction, trade networks, large-scale social systems, writing, and much more appeared on the stage. What caused this sudden and radical change in the human situation? We consider the archaeological, anthropological, and literary witnesses to this still-unfolding drama.
