HIST 150

We talked about measuring crime, note that this is criminology not history. We also talked about different types of surveys and pros and cons with these surveys.

We talked about the hebrews, the monotheistic area (religion), humanism. We talked a lot about Greece and the culture. We talked about the Iliad and how that became a set of rules. We talked a lot about people who wrote books in Greece and how those set of rules were applied in the books. We talked about the two main areas known in Greece which is Sparta and Athens

This document talks about the prehistory. The Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age) was the start of humanity. The Neolithic Revolution was the start of creating this sort of community and society that we now have today. The notes talk about Mesopotamia and the Sumerians and how they created the first written language. Also talks about the Code of Hammurabi and where it came from.

These notes are from HIST 150 with Professor Robert Hall. Instead of using his outline (because I cannot copyright that) I typed my own notes based on the first 6 class lectures. These notes contain information about the Neolithic Revolution, Hunter Gatherer way of life, Mesopotamia, and Philosophers such as Plato and also discusses the Polis and Athenian Democracy.
