After the Agricultural Revolution, the scale of human society became larger and more complex. People relied on fictional stories and concepts-man-made intuitive "culture" to maintain social order, and the inevitable contradictions in culture were the engine of culture. , bringing creation and providing power to mankind. Human culture has been flowing endlessly. The author analyzes the general direction of history based on the number of people with culture in different periods.

? In 1000 BC, three orders emerged that could achieve the concept of global unity:

The first: economic monetary order:

? The hunter-gatherer tribes had no concept of money, but with the rise of imperial cities and kingdoms, it became clear that an economic system based solely on favors and obligations was no longer feasible, thus giving rise to the concept of money, which is not a physical reality but a physical reality. It is a kind of psychological imagination. "Trust" is the most basic raw material of all forms of money, and money is the most common and most effective mutual trust system in history.

? The earliest money system in history was the wheat dollar system in 300 BC, and then the silver shekel system appeared in Mesopotamia in 250 BC. Later, with the birth of stamped coins, the same universality of various monetary systems enabled various regions and countries to establish close financial and commercial relationships.

? Two major principles of the money system:

1. All things are exchangeable: Money is like alchemy, allowing you to turn land into the loyalty of your men, and turn justice into Health, turning violence into knowledge.

2. Believe in all things: With money as a medium, any two people can cooperate in various plans.

The second type: the political imperial order.

? An empire is a political order that must rule over many different peoples, each with different cultural identities and independent territories. The territory of an empire can be flexibly adjusted and expanded almost infinitely. It is precisely because of these two characteristics that the empire can incorporate diverse ethnic groups and ecological zones under a single political structure, allowing more and more humans to gradually integrate with the entire earth.

The third type: global religion in religion. With the emergence and development of the agricultural revolution, the demand for the divine power that humans believe in increased, so polytheistic beliefs emerged, improving the status of Homo sapiens. The emergence and development of polytheism led to monotheism and some dualistic religions.

? Religions believe not only in gods, but also in other supernatural objects that are not gods. They control some kind of superhuman order-the laws of nature.

? Commerce, empire, and global religion ultimately brought almost every Homo sapiens into our global world today, from many small cultures to a few large ones and finally to a single global culture, should It is an inevitable result of human history.
