1. Great Ocean Conveyer- The Great Ocean Conveyer belt is a system that moves constantly of deep ocean circulation forced from temperature and salinity.  There is motion in the ocean, moving around constantly in the shape of the conveyer belt. This particular motion is driven from the thermohaline currents; thermo meaning temperature and haline meaning salinity.  The cold water is more dense than the warm water and stays down at the bottom rather than rising to the surface.  This motion and conveyer belt starts where warm water heats the air in the freezing northern latitudes.  The warmness that is taken away from the water, keeps the water cool, making it sink to the bottom.  As more and more hot water goes north, the cold water sinks and moves south, make room for the incoming hot water.  These cold water travel way down south until they are eventually able to warm and rise to the surface, continuing the conveyor belt all the way around the globe as shown in the picture.  This cycle takes almost about 1,000 years, and moves the water around the globe.

'''[[7. agriculture]]'''
  
A garden is a permanent plot of land used to grow plants. Its being permanent caused early humans to settle down in order to stay close to their food source. This step inevitably lead to the development of villages and small communities. Horticulture is simply a synonym to gardening. It is the use of gardens or fields to grow plants or crops. Some of the first crops grown were simple grains which could be collected abundantly and reproduce easily.

The  word "domestication" means to tame an animal over generations of breeding so much so that the animals are dependent upon the herders and don't know how to live in the wild.''(Better definition "to adapt (an animal or plant) to life in intimate association with and to the advantage of humans: from Merriman Webster RB)'' The first animals to be domesticated were goats then sheep and then pigs. the people who herded the goats picked the most aggressive and worst behaved to kill and the tamest to breed. The product of this natural selection lead to goats that had smaller horns and were more obedient. Domestication also caused small communities to come together in order to take care of the animals

4. Capitalism

'''[[17. material culture]]'''
Capitalism is a type of economic system using private or corporate ownership of production and distribution of wealth sometimes state or government owned. in more simple terms the use of money. Although the use of money is not relevant to making social ques with clan members. In present day some people may use the example of stocks or investments because it is a example of setting aside money in a certain corporation and representation of ownership.

5. material culture
+
'''[[18. manufacture]]'''
The term "material culture" is often used by archaeologists as a non-specific way to refer to the artifacts or other concrete things left by past cultures. An archaeologist thus can be described as a person who studies the material culture of a past society. A material culture study is something thats based on artifacts and tiles. Material culture simply means everything that people give meaning to in the physical world. For instance cars, clothes, schools, neighborhoods, all of these things are examples of material culture.

6. pattern of subsistence
+
"There are several different ways in which a culture can provide for their subsistence. They can be food foragers, pastoralists, horticulturists, or agriculturists. Each pattern of subsistence has its own level of stratification, settlement patterns, and degree of labor specialization.There are several different ways in which a culture can provide for their subsistence.

10. ideology
+
 
+
Ideology is the body of ideas that people share. Examples of modern day ideology can be found in religious or political views. During the Neolithic Revolution, an ideology could have been the political stance of people during the Revolution. The wealthier the person, the more involved they were politically. The more political people, were supposedly closer to the gods. This idea of connection between wealth and politics was a common way of thinking found during the Revolution. Trevor Watkins said "And the success of their new ideas, new ideology and new symbols was the foundation on which was built their rapid expansion and side-spread adoption." This means that the Neolithic Revolution was successful because of their way of thinking which led to a better lifestyle. Ideology is divided into three categories: beliefs, morality, and ideals.

11. beliefs
+
 
+
A belief is an understanding of how the world works and how people should respond to the actions of their environment and others. Beliefs have to do with domestic life, happiness, sickness, health, making a living, relationships, and death. The Neolithic Revolution began with a huge beneficial environmental change. The ice started to melt and food became available. This environment change caused the people who lived during the Revolution to start farming. This farming is a belief because it is how the people believed was the best way to live their life. During the Neolithic Revolution, burials were often used as religious services. These burials were a belief because it was how the people viewed death and its religious meaning.

14. '''morality'''
+
-Morality is a widely upheld moral code which is associated with myth. Myth is the basis of morality.  Morality is also necessary for myth.  According to Joseph Campbell, when old taboos are proven wrong, societies instantly fall apart if there is not a widespread moral code in the society.  In modern societies, old mythological taboos disagree with science, which is expressed by violence, crime, and addictions in modern societies.  As societies grow, morality becomes associated with religion.  This is caused by people throughout history who believe something exists beyond the physical world, and they create religion or a system of beliefs based on morality.  Morality has also evolved over time, but it is hard to know the exact process because of the many different factors that caused evolution in morality.  These included language development, ancestry knowledge, and complex social systems.  In addition, many different moral codes existed among early groups of humans.  This is because they all had different resource strategies and some were carnivores, some cannibals, and some vegetarians.  These methods of morality and survival would evolve overtime.  This represents how morality shaped human history and the affects it had on the evolution of humans

16. band
+
         
+
A band is a division of a nomadic tribe or a group of individuals who move and camp together and live by hunting and gathering. Climate change caused the Natufians to increase the population. The growth of population caused hunting bands to move into territories where there was not much population. They lived as hunter-gatherers, collecting plants and taking animals from their environment. This group of people had no leadership and therefore had to decide by group voting. Bands were very developed gardeners. It is thought that they either consciously experimented with planting and nurturing seeds taken from the wilds or they may

have accidentally discovered the principles of domestication by observing the growth of seeds dropped near their campsites.

17. tribes/chiefdoms
+
 
+
A tribe is any aggregate of people united by ties of descent from a common ancestor, community of customs and traditions, and/or adherence to the same leaders, etc and a chiefdom is the territory or people over which a chief rules. Residents of tribes/chiefdoms commonly practiced horticulture (gardening) or pastoralism (animal herding). Most tribes had equal status. Chiefdoms however, were the first societies to have positions of defined, permanent leadership. Chiefdoms still exist today under some national governments.

A State is a self-governed group of people administered by an official leader. Some of the first major states were in Mesopotamia and Egypt . States have a government along with an established order and security to enforce law. Also the state has the ability to take all territoies and resources in it's zone while also being able to declare war on other nations. All states have social and economic classes. The higher classes have more influence over the state while the lower class have little influence. The most important characteristic of a state is that the people of the state agree on laws that settle disputes.

19. nation
+
 
+
A nation is a form of state. When all the citizens of a state speak the same language, have the same ideals, and preform the same rituals it is known as a nation. Although the citizens of a nation have many similarities they do not always have the same ethnicity. For example now the United States has great ethnic diversity. Nations can be very large or very small and they do not have to be a single geographical unit.
