Chapter 3 Documents

GERMANIA
Germans were all not mixed with any other race in any way. The text explains it as aboriginal. They enjoyed celebrating their God and the God's son, Tuisco and Mannus. They made them the main focus of their race. As if they were the founders. They brought their past back through songs, it was their only way. They all pretty much look the same with the same feature, hair color, eye color, and appearance. Their priests are the only ones who can reprimand people. The German men have a great amount of fear women being killed and left there on the ground. they fear this for their own women. These people spend a lot of their time in battle and respond to their chief with a lot of respect. On their free time when they are not in battle they spend their time hunting and still give themselves time to sleep a lot and eat a lot more. They do not live in cities they live all over the place, scattered and apart from others. They live in their own space to be safe from any type of accidents or natural disasters. They only dress themselves in a cloak and they leave the rest of themselves naked. Regarding marriage they are with only one person. They take marriage very seriously and there are very rare cases when marriage doesn't last. Slaves have their own home and are free to manage it how they please.

Chapter 12 The Worlds of the Fifteenth Century

There were still societies who hunted and gathered in Australia, Siberia, and parts of Africa and the Americas. There were the people who didn't want to get involved with civilizations and did their own thing regarding agriculture.

Chapter 6 Commonalities and Variations

Regarding the world's population at the beginning of the common era the Americas was home to 5% of the world's population. They were less developed than the people in Africa and especially those people in Eurasia. Africa had different societies, cultures and civilizations but they had interactions between them.

Intro to part one and chapter 1

I found it interesting to read that history does not take place only on earth, but also as a part of the planet's history. I found upsetting that we are in the middle of a sixth extinction caused by climate change which is being produced by human actions. The people living in this earth are causing extinction themselves.
