Here we offer as broad a sweep of history as possible. First, we look at the long process of our becoming human. Next, we look at the agricultural revolution and the rise of urban life. Third, we investigate the Axis Age and its revolution in human thought. Next, the Age of Discovery and the rise of European colonialism. Our fifth revolution is Industrial, radically changing the lives and productivity of everyone involved. Finally, we will look at the AI revolution we are living in now and where it might eventually lead us. There will be a textbook used in support of the course.
