La révolution néolithique qui a lieu entre -10 000 et – 5 000 avant notre ère en plusieurs endroits du globe, est le moment le plus décisif de l'histoire humaine. C'est le passage de la cueillette et de la chasse à l'invention de l'agriculture et de l'élevage. Jean-Paul Demoule présente ici les raisons climatiques, environnementales et culturelles de cette révolution. Des conséquences infinies. Ses conséquences sont multiples et nous les observons chaque jour : explosion démographique, migrations, sédentarisation, naissance des villes et de l'écriture, essor des violences entre communautés.

Story7
The change in our ancestors' behaviour was barely perceptible at first. Only a few clues in the archaeological record - sea shells, ochre and stone tools exchanged over long distances - hint at what was to come. Today, a network of interdependence and trade spans the planet - lifting most of our species out of the grinding poverty of the past. But for much of history this engine of human progress stalled, with societies rigged in the interests of small parasitic elites.

What good are the arts? Why should we care about the past? For millennia, humanity has sought to understand and transmit to future generations not just the "know-how" of life, but the "know-why"—the meaning and purpose of our existence, as expressed in art, architecture, religion, and philosophy. This crucial passing down of knowledge has required the radical integration of insights from the past and from other cultures. In Culture, acclaimed author, professor, and public intellectual Martin Puchner takes us on a breakneck tour through pivotal moments in world history.

Ancient Mesopotamia’s legacy was truly revolutionary. Childlike pictures scratched into wet clay evolved into the first written language. The Mesopotamians wrote the first epic poems, the first hymns, the first histories, and the first law codes. They developed the first wheel for transportation; simple carts that hauled bricks or produce morphed into chariots racing along at 35 miles per hour.

El legado de la antigua Mesopotamia fue realmente revolucionario. Dibujos infantiles rayados en arcilla húmeda evolucionaron hasta convertirse en el primer lenguaje escrito. Los mesopotámicos escribieron los primeros poemas épicos, los primeros himnos, las primeras historias y los primeros códigos legales. Desarrollaron la primera rueda para el transporte; los sencillos carros que transportaban ladrillos o productos agrícolas se transformaron en carros que corrían a sesenta kilómetros por hora.
