The seven cultural ecologies (which I group under the six transformations) are as follows: 1. Hominization: i. Sylvan (prehominid evolution of Ramapithecus) ii. Savannan/Lacustrean/Coastal (from Australopithecus to Homo erectus) 2. Symbolization: iii. Glacial (from archaic Homo sapiens to modern Homo sapiens) 3. Agriculturalization: iv. Riverine (ancient civilizations) 4. Civilization v. Transcontinental (classic civilizations) 5. Industrialization: vi. Oceanic (modern industrial nation-state societies) 6. Planetization: vii. Biospheric (planetary noetic polities)
