Part III: The Unification of Humankind
After the Agricultural Revolution, humans created many different cultures and societies. The relations between these different societies were very complex, and involved wars and conflicts as well as trade, immigration and imitation. But as time went by, the connections between the societies became stronger and stronger, so that humankind was gradually united into a single global society.

How come even people who believe in different gods and obey rival kings, are nevertheless willing to use the same money?
