 I found it interesting to read that 

Cosmic- Gaiac- Paleolithic- Neolithic- Ancient- Classical-Modern- Ecozoic In my opinion, this is the order of eras that makes sense. It makes sense to me because  Works Cited https://www.southampton.ac.uk/~cpd/history.html

How far back does the human species go?       According to our text, the human species, or the earliest Homo Sapiens, go back about 250,000 years and are part of the Paleolithic age. They were also known as "gathering and hunting" peoples, as they did this to survive.    After reading on online article from livescience.com, it stated that the human species go back about 300,000 years and were not the only speices to be around. In this article, it mentioned that Homo Sapiens had existed around the same time of at least eight other species to up to twentey- one species, such as the Denisovans and the Homo Luzonensis, where they not only lived together in caves, but they mated with each other, or interbreeded.       To compare the different breeds, Australopithecus Afarensis, Homo Erectus, and Homo Sapiens, I would want to say that there are all similar to each other in physicality and bone structure. The two that are more similar to each other are Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens.

 What is Big History?       According to the HuffPost, "Big History studies the history of everything, offering a way of making sense of our world and our role within it." The article goes on to say  "[B]ig History is a wonderful way of getting sense of our place in the overall scheme of things, according to the best availble scientific knowledge."  T he term Big History is not a new concept to me, as I've heard about the Big Bang and the beginning of different organisims/life growing and different creatures forming.      For me, Big History explains how earth and life sciences, religion and theory, literature and cultural history, history and humanities, all intertwine with one another, as it should. Has anyone heard of the domino effect?  It's almost the same concept, where we are all connected to one another in some way or form. Each discipline is not only intertwined with the next, but it supports it as well. So, in my opinion, it does seem logical that
