Innovation And Stagnation Of The Stone Age Humans

Ancient Egyptians developed a writing system based on pictures, known as hieroglyphics. The difference between cuneiform and hieroglyphics was hieroglyphics stood not only for ideas or objects, but also sounds. According to document four, Egyptians also created papyrus, the first paper, in order to keep records.

All throughout history, humans have come up with innovations that have brought both positive and negative changes to the way people live. This all started around 10,000 BCE, when people developed agriculture. The first nomads started off by moving from place to place, hunting and gathering food… but as people developed agriculture, they saved a lot more time. After agriculture developed, the humans learned many things such as farming and taming wild animals for their own use. This time in history was called the Neolithic Revolution… which lasted about 6,000 years, until 4,000 BCE. The big change in the way people got their food and how they lived, resulted to positive and negative changes of human innovations of the Neolithic Revolution. So,

The Roman Empire had various technological innovations such as aqueducts. The Romans were the first to build aqueducts. The system was much like a bridge built on arches, aqueducts were genius because of the mountainous terrain of Rome which made supplying water difficult. Aqueducts were built to supply towns with water from lakes, springs, or rivers. They sloped downhill towards town using gravity in

Roman aqueducts were very important to the ancient Romans and heavily influenced their daily life. The aqueducts brought wealth, power, and luxury to the people of Rome in more ways than imaginable and more than just for the obvious purpose of delivering water. When the wells and rainwater were no longer sufficient for the population of Rome, they had to develop a new method of bringing water into the city. Thus creating the invention of aqueducts.

Ancient Roman aqueducts are some of the most impressive architectural remnants of the once dominant Roman Empire. The technological advances that were made around the first century AD by both the Greeks and Romans in the areas of architecture, construction, and design, were cutting edge to say the very least. There were also quite clearly abundant practical applications for the Roman aqueducts in Rome, Italy. Even as Rome’s population exceeded 1 million people around the year 120 AD, the aqueducts capably and efficiently supplied clean and potable drinking water not only to Rome itself, but also to a number of the large cities and small towns in the Empire, and other points of interest including mines and significant work sites. The history

The Roman Empire was one of the most popular empires that there ever was. It was also one of the largest as it went as far as Memphis in the South and Europe in the North (document 3). The empire’s location was not the best. Water practically surrounded the entire empire. The Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and Caspian Sea were all ports of water around it. However, that did not hold back the empire’s power, as it quickly adapted and used it to their advantage. Sea trade, deep harbors, and roads are a few of the ways that the Roman Empire used their location to help themselves.

Over 10,000 years ago humans’ lives were spent hunting and gathering just to survive. That all changed when some humans figured out how to capture animals and plant wild seeds so that they could control their food supply. This change in how people lived is known as the Neolithic Revolution and it ultimately led to the beginnings of civilization. The Neolithic Revolution is considered a turning point in human history because it led to permanent settlements, improvements in technology and the development of social classes and job specialization.

Rome made the greatest achievement that the world has ever seen. The achievement was the aqueducts. Aqueducts were made to bring water into the city of Rome. The engineering of the structures were outstanding for the time of Ancient Rome. They needed brilliant mathematicians to calculate and build the required amount of ramps with just enough gravitational pull to keep the water stream going. The aqueducts got the water from streams in mountains, which carried 200 million gallons of water. At the end of the aqueducts there were tanks that held the water and those tanks were the main

Since prehistory, mankind has alter the environment for survival. For example, around 9000 B.C.E, humans had cleared the land in Southwest Asia and sub-Saharan Africa for agriculture. Humans have innovated existing technologies to improve their adaption to the environment. In 3500 B.C.E, ancient Sumerians develop the wheel. Wheeled plows & carts allowed more efficient planting and transportation of goods, while chariots provided new methods of invasion. Technologies has continued to improve the lifestyle of humans enabling permanent settlements and complex societies. With technology, human adapted to different environments. Demographic trends of men being the ones who innovate technology is shown in this time period. The poor demographic were used to build technological feats

Adapting and creating will always be one of mankind’s greatest attributes. One of the main reasons why mankind may have the need to adapt and create would be the necessity of survival. Mankind has had to adapt to the environment over and over again in order to survive, whether it be creating a shelter to shield them from heavy rain or building transport vehicles to get from one place quicker than before. Through adaptation, mankind will create and build in order to assist in this progression. History has shown the different ways mankind has had to adapt and one the most important times in history that shows this is during the 20th century competition between two Cold War rivals.

Egyptians not only contributed to future society through the invention of their language, giving them the ability to record their history for future generations, but they also were the first people to create a sensible medium upon which to inscribe their language: paper. “Taken from the fibers of the papyrus plant, Egyptian paper was the first of its kind” (“Ancient” 1). This invention would come to change everything about written language, but not only did Egyptians create the first paper, they also were skilled at creating ink. “The process and depth of color utilized in the Egyptian invention of ink and dye was so marvelous that these brilliant hued colors can still be seen today, thousands of years later” (“Ancirnt” 1).

Egyptians also had many achievements. They had two different types of writing The demotic script and hyrogliphics. The demotic script was made for faster and more efficient writing. Hyrogliphics was the first type of writing they used it was pictures and symbols. They had huge pyramids and statues. One of the most important statues was the sphinx. The Sphinx made the god re, the god

Ancient Egypt has many great achievements. Two of their biggest achievements were the Egyptian pyramids, and the sphinx. Another achievement was their use of hieroglyphics, which is a form of writing based on pictograms. Examples of hieroglyphic writing can be found on the Rosetta stone which was uncovered by archeologists. The Egyptians also used mummification which was an achievement in preserving bodies. Over time there were ten different pharaohs and each of them accomplished advancements in society, math, astronomy and medicine.

Throughout history, new innovations and inventions of technology has been spurred by the, what I feel to be, an innate idea in humans to improve. As stated by James Cash Penney, “change is vital, improvement the logical form of change”. That quote basically translates to the notion that change is important and inevitable, so if you’re going to change it would be wise if you changed for the better instead of worse. Ancient civilizations had to adapt to their environment in order to be able to compete with other civilizations for land and resources. Advancements in technology made adapting a lot easier. Ancient civilizations and technology can never be mentioned without the Roman Empire coming to mind. The Roman Empire “invented many surgical

In Ancient Egypt, hieroglyphs were very important. Hieroglyphs were a big part of the culture of the Egyptians. Hieroglyphs played a big part in the culture of the Egyptians by helping them record the going on of what their Pharaoh, was doing. They were used inside of tombs to write spells to protect the person inside, or to try to ward off invaders and grave robbers. A very important series of hieroglyphs was the book of the dead.
