Chapter 7: Classical Era Variations

The Classical era does not mostly revolve around the Greeks, Romans, and Eurasia, it also revolves around the Persians, Chinese, Indian, and South Asia.  Around this era there was migrations, people were leaving form one place and going to another.  The populations of theses societies were different.  For instance in Africa they had a population that grew about 4% while in Eurasia the population decreased by 6%.  While places like Australia and North America stayed the same.  It is evident that the populations that decreased were not developing anytime soon since most of the population had migrated to another.  While populations that increased were developing very well.  The migrations came new ideas, religions, and traditions.  For example the Bantu tribes from Africa that traveled South to spread their language and traditions across Africa.  As cultures grew the need for power began to come into play.  For instance the natives of Mesoamerica that lived in Teotihuacan had a big influence on regions around them since they were such a big civilization.  All societies developed the same, they just all took different approaches.
