Hunter-Gatherers 60,000 – 12,000 ybp 1st humans immigrated
from Siberia c.25,000ybp Collecting plant parts,
hunting, fishing, scavenging
Nomadic groups of <50 High infant mortality Lifespan 30-40 years Low Env. Impact
– Small populations– Low resource use per
person– Nomadic/Shifting land use

Agricultural Revolution 10-12,000 ybp “The Greatest Mistake In Human History” (Diamond) Shift from nomadic hunting/gathering to settled
agricultural communities w/domesticated livestock Wheat, Rice, Corn grown year after year on the same
piece of land Larger populations supported
– More waste… Larger resource consumption per person
– More demand Slash and burn “frontier” lifestyle
– More habitat destruction

Industrial Revolution Shift from renewable wood to
non-renewable fuels (coal, gas, etc.)
Switch from small-scale, hand-made, localized production to large-scale manufacturing production
Factory towns, cities appeared Move from rural to urban areas Mechanized agriculture
increased food production– Longer lifespan– Larger per-person resource use– Increased habitat destruction and
pollution
