Study Notes
Understanding Globalization
- Globalization represents the shrinkage of the world, characterized by shorter distances and increased connectivity.

- This process led to the foundational understanding of science, enabling further discoveries.
- Science evolved through the discovery and invention of tools as knowledge progressed.
Contributions of Archaeology
- Advances in archaeology have provided vital data and evidence through excavation.
- New scientific instruments and techniques helped enhance archaeological findings.
Practical Applications of Science
- Scientific discovery was often motivated by survival needs, such as the quest for food.
- Curiosity also played a significant role in the development of science and technology.
Key Inventions
- Notable discoveries include mud plaster that contributed to the creation of pottery and mud brick houses.
