The resource provides students with an in-depth look at human societies - from early hunters-gatherers, ancient societies, and the beginnings of modern-day societies. A chronological approach explores social, environmental, political, economic, cultural, and technological issues that remain relevant in today's world. Students will come to understand why societies in the past are studied and the impact those societies still have today.
