Welcome - The Flow of History Science Timeline Marks in the evolution of science. Animation: Human Population Growth Over All of History Imagine that for every million people on Earth, there was a single dot on a map. In total, that would be about 7,600 dots – representing today’s global population of 7.6 billion. But, what if we went back in time, and watched those dots accumulate over human history? When and where do the first dots appear, and when does population growth ramp up to get to the billions of people that are alive today? The History of Population Growth Today’s animation comes from the American Museum of Natural History, and it shows over 200,000 years of population growth and the major events along the way. If you consider yourself on the more impatient side of things, we suggest starting at 1:50 which will zoom you to 400 AD – the time of India’s Golden Age. It took 200,000 years of human history to get to one billion people – and just 200 years to reach seven billion. Key Population Moments Agriculture The impact of farming cannot be emphasized enough.

World History La périodisation de l’Histoire: les périodes historiques La périodisation de l’Histoire et des problèmes qu’elle implique Quelles sont les raisons de la division temporelle de l’Histoire ? La période est une division canonique qui apparaît naturelle et ce depuis l’enseignement secondaire: Préhistoire, Antiquité, Moyen-Âge, Temps Modernes, Époque contemporaine. Mais sur quels critères entre-t-on dans une autre période ? Pourquoi 1492 marque le début d’une nouvelle période ? Lors de l’harmonisation des baccalauréats, la question de la périodisation n’a jamais été abordée. Usuellement, l’Histoire est composée de 6 grandes périodes: A la fin du XXème siècle, une nouvelle périodisation est apparue: l’histoire du temps présent (plus ou moins de 1945 à nos jours). Quand et pourquoi la périodisation est-elle née ? Au fil des âges, la conception du temps évolue au même titre que la conception des périodisations. L’évolution du rapport au temps Le rapport au temps évolue. Entre 1500 et 1800, on assiste à une temporalisation de l’histoire. Le siècle
World War I Timeline Timelines are one of our favorite history tools and an important element of the Layers of Learning curriculum. Here are some WWI events to add to a timeline. You may find more from your reading. And here is the set of printable World War I Timeline squares. A Little History Also known as the Great War and the War to End All Wars (sure wish that had worked out), the First World War changed everything. It had absolutely nothing to do with America, yet America fought in it and emerged the world leader. This is a painting by artists Wilie Stower of the Battle of Dogger Bank, 1915. WWI started because of European leaders’ posturing for power. On the Web I found a whole series of great printable resources for World War I here. And here is an excellent animated map of the Western Front from the BBC. This is a map of the Western Front in 1914. Library List This war, including its causes, technological advances, conditions and outcomes is fascinating. from DK , World War I: A Primary Source History
Did the Millennium Start in Year 2000 or 2001? On January 1, 2000, humankind celebrated the beginning of the new millennium—which was one year too early. The 21st Century Started in 2001 In 1999, the world was preparing for the New Year's party of a lifetime. The year number in the Gregorian calendar was about to tick over to 2000, supposedly ushering in not only the 21st century but also the 3rd millennium CE. However, the party was held one year too early—it should have been on January 1, 2001. CE, BCE, AD, BC,: What's the difference? Year Zero It all boils down to the question: was there a year 0? 1 full year would have passed at the end of year 0 since the beginning of the year count;2 years would have passed at the end of year 1;and so on... This means that 2000 years, two full millennia, would have passed at the end of year 1999. The only problem with this theory is that year 0 did not exist, as historians, calendar experts, timeanddate.com, and other killjoys kept pointing out in the lead-up to the big party in year 2000.
Annenberg Media Exhibits: Collapse Hundreds of years ago in what is now modern Honduras, Copán was a thriving civilization, a center of the cultural life of the Maya. Tens of thousands of people made their home in the Copán Valley. Yet despite its importance, Copán went into decline. Across the vast territory of the ancient Maya, other important sites were sharing a similar fate. Classic Maya civilization was collapsing. Why did this great civilization fall? can combine with external causes (such as war or natural disaster) to bring about a collapse. Join us as we explore the collapse of four ancient civilizations. Ready to get started? "Collapse" is inspired by programs from Out of the Past, a video series from Annenberg Media.

Timeline DoomsdayClock_black_2.5mins_regmark (1).png 2017: For the last two years, the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock stayed set at three minutes before the hour, the closest it had been to midnight since the early 1980s. In its two most recent annual announcements on the Clock, the Science and Security Board warned: “The probability of global catastrophe is very high, and the actions needed to reduce the risks of disaster must be taken very soon.” In 2017, we find the danger to be even greater, the need for action more urgent. It is two and a half minutes to midnight, the Clock is ticking, global danger looms. DoomsdayClock_black_3mins_regmark.jpg 2016: "Last year, the Science and Security Board moved the Doomsday Clock forward to three minutes to midnight, noting: 'The probability of global catastrophe is very high, and the actions needed to reduce the risks of disaster must be taken very soon.'
