The early modern period is a term used by historians to refer to the period approximately from AD 1500 to 1800, especially in Western Europe ( Early modern Europe). [citation needed] It follows the Late Middle Ages period, and is marked by the first European colonies, the rise of strong centralized governments, and the beginnings of recognizable nation states that are the direct antecedents of today's states in what is called Modern times. This categorical era spans the two centuries between the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution that has created modern European and American society, and in subsequent years the term "Early modern" has evolved to be less euro-centric and more generally a semi-calendar era useful for tracking related historical events across vast regions, as the cultural influences and dynamics from one region impacting on distant others has become more appreciated. The early modern period is characterized by the rise to importance of science, the shrinkage of relative distances through improvements in transportation and communications and increasingly rapid technological progress, secularized civic politics and the early authoritarian nation states. Further, capitalist economies and institutions began their rise and development, beginning in northern Italian republics such as Genoa, and the oligarchy in Venice. The early modern period also saw the rise and beginning of the dominance of the economic theory of mercantilism. As such, the early modern period represents the decline and eventual disappearance, in much of the European sphere, of Christian theocracy, feudalism and serfdom.

Archeological evidence said that humans had a way of managing their waste even before landfills and incinerators were developed.

They say “Clothes Make the Man”. And in our desire for beautiful clothes, civilization has evolved many an art form solely for beautification of the cloth.

There were no computers, no heavy-duty equipment, and hardly any desk jobs. Hard labor pretty much ran society and the economy in those days.

They weren’t aware of abdominal exercises back... (read more)
