​this will be a study of fast-paced revolutionary changes in human history in a short spanse of time-- less than 600 years. ​

Afterwards, you will work within a group of 4 to learn more about the four world zones where ancient trade set the stage for globalization--all that was needed for globalization to accelerate was a few revolutionary changes. After that, the world has since been rapidly accelerating towards greater interconnection and greater complexity. This is what we will be studying about in this unit.
