The Cambridge World History Quotes

“From the beginning most of history was a story of divergence: humans’ biological and cultural differentiation as they evolved and dispersed across the planet. For the past millennium, history has been dominated by convergent forces, of which globalization is the latest phase. During this era that I call the Great Convergence, human interaction, trade, and intercommunication have increased at a rapid rate.”
― David Christian, The Cambridge World History: Volume 1, Introducing World History, to 10,000 BCE
