Certain History

History is driven by human ambition to achieve what one sets out for. How this ambition is achieved is how far one is willing to go and what they are willing to give up to gain this achievement. Going through these difficult processes is what makes all different kinds of webs. “A web is a set of connections that link people to one another. These connections may take many forms: chance encounters, kinship, friendship, common worship, rivalry, enmity, economic exchange, ecological exchange, political cooperation, even military competition.”
People convey many different interpretations on webs of humans. They have these different thoughts because many lack the understanding of how things were really developed or how things were really understood thousands of years ago. We can only get a projection of what was and how it could have been understood. The interpretations are gathered from sets of webs left behind. webs that are shared with the world to move forward and create new webs that are able to extend all across the world.
Simple webs can be created from family ties and later strung into the world by communicating and interaction with the outer society. These interactions create technology and all kinds of useful goods but not all is great. Some interactions create harmful chemicals and diseases, which, with the close communications that are evolving, create quick spreading of these diseases.

People created webs of interactions over 1 million years ago, where it can be traced back to where the Homo erectus had ways of communication through ways of writing and through dance rituals. Their communication of art was done through cave art. Cave art is a form of writing that was used on cave walls and was done with berry juices. The language that was used by the Homo erectus was done in way of pictures. These pictures were the first real finds of ancient web work of the human race. The Homo erectus created webs amongst them and later evolved into the Homo sapiens. Once the Homo sapiens started to establish themselves, they began to shape their local ecosystems. “The key innovation was the development of language to create symbolic meanings.” The symbolic meanings were being able to read and understand the meanings to talk things over, create names for objects, certain actions, and what situations they got themselves into. In having these ways of communication they started to create a more social and somewhat organized community. The communities that were becoming more social and organized were ones that could distinguish certain actions and their situations.
In the Human Era, which was approximately 40,000 years ago, knowledge that was gathered by the parents was transformed slightly for the new siblings. The new and slightly modified forms of movements and organization gave the new Homo sapiens greater brain capacity, which lead the communities to be stronger in larger numbers. One way that this was demonstrated was through song and dance. Song and Dance was a good educating tool along with a good building tool. These were good tools for communities because it led them to be more vocal and gather more meaningful phrases and words. As these dances and songs became more popular between the communities, the larger the community the stronger it became because it brought them together and closer as Homo sapiens.
Through the years of “community building” the tribes began having to fight for their places of territory and for the food that was gathered between different communities. A straight and right to the point phrase that would describe this would be Darwin’s Theory. Charles Darwin had a theory on life; it was “the survival of the fittest.” In comprehensible terms this means that the ones who can overtake or outlast the other competitors will be the ones who will survive the longest. This can be a measurement of strength or smarts. In the case of the ancient civilizations it was primarily both. Neither one could be used by itself without the use of the other. You could be smart in some cases but with the technology that they had back in their day, they needed to have strength also. They needed to be intelligent to defend by outwitting and also to advance their selves technologically.


Having different webs of interaction brings many different spurts of growth. One of these spurts is the growth of the webs. The webs grew through expansion and unity. With expansion and unity brought many different kinds of improvements in their lifestyles. The lifestyles at these times were not leisure like but suitable for their ways of life. With these new changes of interactions brought upon trade amongst communities. Through trade and new connections brought vast improvements in life.
Some of these improvements were better shelter, clothing, weapons, and transportation. The most important improvement that was made was the creation of fire. Fire became the most essential because it became a quick aid to their lives immediately. Fire provided cooked food, heat and also light. After having the ability to control light, they were able to do more for longer hours and expand their ways of life.
In the expansion of territory led to more trade. With the increase in trade, more supplies that were needed became available. Supplies such as new clothing and weaponry lead to more powerful and organized communities. Clothing became more established and more elegant. Weapons were created more powerful and became widely versatile. With these creations became new creations such as the means of transportation.
Transportation is one of the biggest movements in the Human Era. This became so important because it gave more power to those who had better means of transportation. The transportation supplied better trade and brought people closer together for all different parts of the world. It started out by foot and then progressed to horseback. As horseback grew weary new designs for horse and buggies became established. Although some are still around in the 21st century, the use was diminished after the technology of the automobile arose. Today in the 21st century, the automotive is the most used form of transportation.
Other ways that webs grew were that they created political systems. Political systems that would bring small communities together with larger communities and unite them as a whole to one set of land, to feed off together, work on together, and create life with together.


Different parts of the world took on many different challenges and many different social changes on the society. The webs that had connected these people to their history and their ties changed at many different parts; maybe their webs were being changed as they were being introduced. As a story is told, the story may not ever be exact because the story has been altered so many times that the truth is lost or twisted.
