Kemirgenlerden Sömürgenlere İnsanlık Tarihi

The story of humanity in this work is different from that of nationalist, religious and westernist histories. In line with UNESCO's multi-volume History of Humanity publication, an effort is being made to compile it in a single volume, from a "human-centered" perspective.

In this path, we start with the "biochemical evolution" of matter and generally move on to the "organic evolution" phase of living things. In particular, the organic evolution of humans can be traced from the "promician rodent" point, which is a distant animal ancestor, to the tool-using "humanoid hominoid" genera, which are considered distant human ancestors.

The "cultural evolution" phase of humanity is examined by dividing it into the relatively static "primitive community" periods in accordance with the "egalitarian-stable balance law" and the inegalitarian, dynamic "civilized society" periods in which an increasingly larger surplus is produced and transferred.

It focuses on the decisiveness of the warlike and peaceful exchange relations between nomadic shepherds and settled farmers in the transition to civilized society. As a product of this, the internal and external dynamics of the "urban, class, state, ideological" civilized society that was born through the stages of "plunder, plunder, extortion, tax" are revealed.

The spread of Semitic Indo-European and Mongolian-Turkish nomads from Lower Mesopotamia, the first and only cradle of civilization in Afroeurasia, to all four corners of the world through the channels of Christianity and Islam is exhibited.

The development of society from city states to world empires, the interaction of production and war technologies, the transition conditions from urban theism to monotheism, and from magical thought to religious and then scientific thought are emphasized.

The work ends with the section that explains the transition to modern society that started with the Crusader Raids, the disappearance of the New World civilizations from the face of the earth, and the emergence of an unprecedentedly exploitative and dynamic order with "slave capitalism" founded on "culturation".

The author draws the reader into the atmosphere of a historical movie, without compromising on science, with scenarios such as "Let the spear of the one returning from the hunt be broken", "The brave man descending from the Altai", "The first wheels turning under the moon", which he sprinkles between the chapters. The attached "Addizin" and "Andizin" allow us to benefit from the work. It makes it easier.
