| Abstract: | In this paper, I am very briefly presenting a typology of cultures, which spans from prehistory to the present. I have been developing this theory for over ten years and have completed a book manuscript on it. Here, I will necessarily be limited to outlining the theory and giving a synopsis of the six cultural types I have identified: the SENSITIVE CHAOS of the Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers, the GREAT ROUND of the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age farmers, the FOUR QUARTERS of the Bronze and Iron Age Chiefdoms, the PYRAMID of the nation state, the RADIANT AXES of the empire, and the GRID of the commercial-industrial network. |
