Editor's Notes
Scale up -- the problem is loss of human individual agency What do we focus on?: trade, environment, population, technology, politics, culture?
Since Hans Rosling started us with population, let’s put it in a larger context
So, in all, we can see a significant global population boom that is generally constant and exponential during the anthropocene
We can see this same information to slightly different effect using a chart --you’ll notice the devastating effects on Africa of the slave trade and imperialism --you’ll also notice the devastation of the collapse of the Qing Empire, the civil wars that led up to it as well as the civil war and Sino-Japanese wars of the 1930s and 1940s
The early modern world was already a global world connected by --trade (silver flow from Americas to Europe to Asia) --migration (voluntary and forced) --ecological exchange (flora, fauna, microbiological)
Cold War and Humans’ Imprint on Geological Strata
Great Divergence --causes dispute (see H109 Lecture 5)
