Several ancient civilizations were located around its shores; thus it has had a major influence on those cultures. It provided routes for trade, colonization and war, and provided food (by fishing and the gathering of other seafood) for numerous communities throughout the ages. This inland sea is bordered on the north by Europe, the east by Asia, and in the south by Africa. This 969,100 sq. mile body of water is approximately 2,300 miles in length, and has a maximum depth of 16,896 ft. The typical Mediterranean climate is hot, with dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Major subdivisions include the Adriatic Sea, Aegean Sea, Balearic Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea, Ionian Sea and Ligurian Sea.
Inventions History Fire was used c.600,000 BC by people moving northward. Evidence of its use was discovered in caves near Beijing where it may have been used to cook or ward off dangerous animals. Fired Ceramics first occurred after the last ice age, c.30,000 BC. The first fired ceramics were made of clay and shaped into models of animals. The first axes date from c.250,000 and have been discovered in ancient settlements in Africa, Europe, and Asia. The bow and arrow dates from c.30,000 BC in what is now The Sahara desert. The Egyptians discovered the try square c.2600 BC. The chariot derives from Mesopotamia and dates from c.2000 BC. Glassblowing dates from c.100 BC in Syria. Egypt invented the water clock in c.300 BC to tell time. Countries around the Mediterranean Sea began to use an abacus to make calculations. Assyria saw the first iron saws in c.800 BC. The year 105 saw Tsai Lun given official recognition for his invention of paper. The first quill pens seem to date from 635 in Spain. by J.
The Development of Mental Abilities Young children think differently than do older children and adults. Such thinking is not wrong, simply different and age-appropriate. When a preschooler asks, "If I eat spaghetti, will I become Italian?" she reflects, in an original and amusing way, her belief that "you are what you eat." Rather than "correct" the child, we might ask, "What do you think?" Transductive Reasoning The foregoing example illustrates a form of reasoning that is characteristic of young children. People who eat spaghetti become Italian [major premise]. I eat spaghetti [minor premise]. Therefore, I will become Italian [conclusion]. In fact, though, her reasoning is transductive, and she thinks Robert eats spaghetti, and he's Italian. If I eat spaghetti, I will become Italian too. What is missing in transductive reasoning is the major premise, the overriding rule from which a particular conclusion can be deduced. We can observe this transductive approach to causality in many other ways as well. Physiognomic Perception
