La périodisation de l’Histoire: les périodes historiques La périodisation de l’Histoire et des problèmes qu’elle implique Quelles sont les raisons de la division temporelle de l’Histoire ? La période est une division canonique qui apparaît naturelle et ce depuis l’enseignement secondaire: Préhistoire, Antiquité, Moyen-Âge, Temps Modernes, Époque contemporaine. Mais sur quels critères entre-t-on dans une autre période ? Pourquoi 1492 marque le début d’une nouvelle période ? Lors de l’harmonisation des baccalauréats, la question de la périodisation n’a jamais été abordée. Usuellement, l’Histoire est composée de 6 grandes périodes: A la fin du XXème siècle, une nouvelle périodisation est apparue: l’histoire du temps présent (plus ou moins de 1945 à nos jours). Quand et pourquoi la périodisation est-elle née ? Au fil des âges, la conception du temps évolue au même titre que la conception des périodisations. L’évolution du rapport au temps Le rapport au temps évolue. Entre 1500 et 1800, on assiste à une temporalisation de l’histoire. Le siècle

Animation: Human Population Growth Over All of History Imagine that for every million people on Earth, there was a single dot on a map. In total, that would be about 7,600 dots – representing today’s global population of 7.6 billion. But, what if we went back in time, and watched those dots accumulate over human history? When and where do the first dots appear, and when does population growth ramp up to get to the billions of people that are alive today? The History of Population Growth Today’s animation comes from the American Museum of Natural History, and it shows over 200,000 years of population growth and the major events along the way. If you consider yourself on the more impatient side of things, we suggest starting at 1:50 which will zoom you to 400 AD – the time of India’s Golden Age. It took 200,000 years of human history to get to one billion people – and just 200 years to reach seven billion. Key Population Moments Agriculture The impact of farming cannot be emphasized enough.

The Lifespan of Ancient Civilizations Detailed in a Handy Infographic: Are We Headed Towards Our Own Collapse? Anyone living in the West today surely feels they've heard quite enough about its decline. (Unless, of course, they're fans of 1980s punk rock.) Given how long civilizations usually outlive individuals, how can an individual grasp the prospects for longevity of the civilization in which they find themselves? History, a discipline which has long had everything to do with charting the rise and fall of settlements, cultures, and empires, can provide the context necessary for understanding, but more of it has been written than even a human with the lifespan of a civilization can digest. Come to provide some clarity is Luke Kemp of Cambridge's Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, creator of the infographic above. "There is no strict definition of civilisation," Kemp admits, "nor an overarching database of their births and deaths." What comes at the end of virtually all of them, he calls a collapse: "a rapid and enduring loss of population, identity and socio-economic complexity.
