GEOLOGICAL CYCLES OF HUMAN CULTURE? junyabee: Full text access: https://www.academia.edu/49856562/GEOLOGICAL_CYCLES_OF_HUMAN_CULTURE Are we witnessing what the empire/civilizations of antiquity faced of roving bands and tribes that were a nuisance to their commercial order?? With attributions given to @TarlCabot666 and @shootersa whose thoughts on homelessness and climactic cycles, respectively, had a 6am confluence in my thoughts for the conclusions to be expressed. FOREWARD RECENT CLIMACTIC CHANGES (NOTE THE BANDS IN THE TEMPERATE [NOTE THE TEMPERATE, NON-SUBTROPICAL/TROPICAL] ZONES) MIGRATION PATTERNS ACROSS EURASIA ====================================== THESIS​ When thinking about the contemporary migrants in RV's, seeking seasonal work, I remembered the mentions of the U.S. Plains Indigenous Nations' seasonal migrations moving with the seasonal changes of winter-to-spring-to-summer to fall-to winter. That's when this insight hit me. Cultures and the technologies of cultures were and are based on both the sedentary and transitory nature of their predominate demographic-along with their geographic and latitudinal juxtaposition to their chosen form of culture. The Eurasian (and later the North American) continent was unique for its N-S/W-E expansiveness in the temperate zone which Africa/S America-below the equator doesn't have; as well as the African/Arabian coast subject to the dried out winds from the west in the Mediterranean climate. For the temperate latitudes of Eurasia-North America, there was enough land for extensive cultivation. Once cultivation reached a surplus that could be sold, markets-centers that developed to commercial "metropolises" developed. All changes were accompanied by more efficient, expedient technologies for doing things-in the 'Mother of Necessity'-mode in a commercial centered economy. Continued in link above |
