Environmental Factors That Contributed To The Development Of Andean Civilization
A. Environmental factor that contributed to the development of one early human society:
Andean Civilization - The Inca Empire ran north to south in the Andes Mountain Range. It was located 50 km in land from the coast. We also know that the Inca Empire occurred during a period of major environmental change on a global scale.
The most important environmental factor played in the development of the Inca civilization was the weather. Inca Empire was located in areas where weather would fluctuate depending on altitude and how close the location was to the water. During this climate change, the weather remained fair.

Describe the process of diffusion between early human societies using one example from this list:
Chariot - Chariot was a two-wheeled vehicle drawn by a horse or two, used to transport people. Usually there were two people, a driver and a fighter. The chariot was invented after the invention of the wheel, around 2000BC in the Eurasian Steppe.
First, the chariot became popular in Mesopotamia who where the first ones to use chariots in war. It was the chariot’s function in war that made it popular amongst different cultures. It spread in Indo-Iranians who built fortified structures given their rich sources in Bronze. (Wikipedia, 2016). From there it spread to Egypt and Persia, finding the best-preserved examples in the tomb of Tutankhamun. The effective use of Chariot spread to India and China during the Chang Dynasty. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, “The chariot was transmitted to the Celts, who were using it in the British Isles about the 5th century BC” (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2015). By the time of Alexander the Great, Calvary had replaced the use of the chariot for war purposes, but chariot racing had become popular.

As explained in the National Park Service site, “While the east gradually became more and more urban, the lands of the homesteaders continued to produce young farmers that did nothing less than feed the country and, later, much of the world via agricultural exports. Without the Homestead Act, the U.S. would certainly never have become the agricultural superpower it is today” (NPS,
