Topics include the orgins of human culture, the development of cradles of civilization in the eastern and western hemispheres, the growth and decline of classical cultures, interactions among calssical and nomadic cultures, and the establishment of great world religions. In addition, this course addresses the historiography of the ancient world, that is, how historians research and conceptualize ancient human societies.%
