This book is about the history of mankind, its empires, and its people. The first 2,497,000-mankind lived in hunter-gatherer tribes. When the herds they were trailing thinned out /disappeared or they could not find suitable gathering areas the nomadic tribes become Static to survive. They sought out local fauna to domesticate so these herds would not thin out or disappear. The tribes also tried local flora and if they survived, they started cultivating those. This was the early age of farming which created smaller farms in fertile areas of the world. This was the Neolithic or Agriculture Revolution and happened in the Stone Age of Prehistoric times

As more members of the tribes left to find new herds or gathering places they were drawn to the early farms, their settling created towns. The early farmers found they could sell or barter any excess food to the people in the towns or in the caravans traveling on nearby trade routes. This was the early beginnings of capitalism and the greed and hubris that comes with it. If they did not have enough family or neighbors to help increase their produce, they would make forays back to the hunter-gatherer tribes to kidnap members to enslave. If they did not have enough land to expand their farms, they would attack neighboring farms and annex their lands. As these farms grew, the need to protect their now private property and crops grew exponentially. This would be the "normal" business operating procedures, on a much bigger scale, for the next 14.023 years. As long as they can easily distract the people, this business way will go on until greed and hubris are eradicated from mankind.
