When, where, and why did cities, states, and empires first emerge? This course uses archaeological data and theories to explore the Neolithic Revolution, when humans first domesticated plants and animals, and its aftermath. How did the world change when humans embraced sedentism and urban life? What factors and conditions led to the formation of expansive states? What benefits and costs did these new forms of government bring to their subjects? How did the ruling classes hold on to and lose power? We investigate these issues by comparing and contrasting early states in Mesopotamia, Egypt, The Mediterranean, China, Central and South America.
