Out of Africa to the Ends of the Earth: First Migrations

In the beginning of the chapter, the book discusses the start of homo sapiens. The main question that was focused on this section was how did the activity show in Africa. They gave us examples such as weapons/tools they used and the bones from creatures that were hunted. Continuing their journey, the human's also discovered places such as Eurasia, Australia, and the Islands of the Pacific. In Eurasia, their supplies were advanced because of the climate. Archeologist found paintings and stones left in caves. They also found other supplies such as baskets and pottery. The archeologist believed that majority of the human's that lived in the caves were woman based on the supplies that were left. They also predicted that the paintings that were in the cave were to show the women's roles based on the figurine's body. Personally, I felt that the ending of the Eurasia section was the start of the stereotypical role for women. They portray them as someone who stays home to cook and clean while men hunt since they're "stronger".

WW Prologue

The WW Prologue was based on the events that happened in the universe. There was list given in the book showing a timeline of the cosmic calendar. Still to this day, the cosmic calendar is a controversial topic. People questioned if these events occurred because of religious or philosophical reasons. The prologue also goes in depth of the history behind our planet and the human species.
