Linear progression of society

[edit]

The part of the introduction about the neolithic package and how farming gave rise to hierarchy just isnt true? Hierarchy can exist both with and without hierarchy. The opening also implies that farming, once adopted, was a permanent feature, something that's not always reflected. Amending some of the phrasing here and later on would more accurately reflect the ways that agriculture changed societies, and help resist the idea that history only moves one way.

An amendment made on 28 August 2017 by User:Chiswick Chap removed the statement "Personal land and private property ownership led to a hierarchical society, with an elite social class, comprising a nobility, polity, and military" from the lead section, without an edit summary but presumably because the statement was inadequately supported by citations. The words "hierarchical ideologies" remained, without citation, presumably overlooked then and ever since. I agree that this requires a citation and have flagged it as such. Don't know what User:Bookyteeth means by "Hierarchy can exist both with and without hierarchy". Masato.harada (talk) 16:16, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that, meant "hierarchy can exist both with and without farming" Bookyteeth (talk) 00:12, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BP

[edit]

Why is BP (a relatively unknown standard) used? 197.234.165.147 (talk) 18:21, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because it concerns prehistory. Before Present is standard in such cases. Dimadick (talk) 00:57, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It would be truer to say it it is often preferred in such cases, further back than some cut-off point. I wouldn't expect to see it used for the European Bronze Age for example. This topic is about at the borderline imo. Johnbod (talk) 03:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
