"The continuity of the cultural field" (5). The axioms of civilizations

3.1. About Early Kingdoms and Empires

Some 11,700 years ago an abrupt climate warming put in motion a cascade of events that unleashed a deep destabilization of the life conditions that had prevailed over the past tens of thousands of years during which people had been living in tribal societies the world over. It was this destabilization that put in motion a societal chain reaction which ultimately set humanity on the long and tortuous path of civilization building.

Introduction  

I plan on publishing this part 3 in its entirety on this blog (6-8 more articles). 

Being one part of a book, that is in the final stages of editing, these articles do not give a footnote explanation for some dates and facts because these facts have been touched upon in the earlier sections of the book.
