The Post-Neolithic Anomaly? How ‘Civilisation’ Might Be An Aberration in Human History.

Authors: Richard Michael Blaber

For the majority of its existence, our species did not live in settlements, did not have agriculture, writing or metallurgy. These are all features of the Holocene Epoch, and the global human population during most of the time since the start of that epoch remained both low and relatively constant until the beginning of the 19th Century, accelerating through the 20th Century, following the Industrial and Agrarian Revolutions. The enormous population, and the complex, planet-wide capitalist technological civilisation on which they depend, but which also exploits them, are now faced with numerous dangers, which are likely to prove insuperable.
