This course studies history from a distance, covering tens of thousands of years and touching upon all the locations that humans have ever inhabited. Its focus is on finding patterns and comparisons rather than memorizing facts about names and places. By the end of the course, students should be able to identify and understand long-term and large-scale dynamics of complex change in the past. Themes of the course include connections between groups of people, the movements of people, goods, ideas and non-human species, and human exploitation of the earth and its inhabitants.
