Middle Eastern peoples had the highest known developed civilizations. In Syria, the Bronze age Eblaite civilization was present. The Old kingdom of Egypt was important. In Turkey, Bronze age metallurgy can be found. Among Mesopotamian peoples including those of Iraq, Sumerian and Akkadian culture developed. Among Persian peoples, Elam was prominent in parts of Iran. I have no information yet about Afghanistan. I have little information about Arabian peoples including those of what are now Saudi Arabia. Yemen shows signs of Sumerian influence. I have no information about development in North African peoples including Morocco. Algeria seems to have had principally peoples with Neolithic culture.
Among South Asian peoples, in Pakistan, the Bronze age Harappan civilization was prominent, and had some influence on the rest of India. I have no information on Bangladesh, Nepal, or Sri Lanka.

Oriental peoples including those of China where pottery had been introduced can be examined. I have no specific information on Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, or North Korea.
Southeast Asian peoples are less well known. I know nothing of Australia during this period. Mainland Southeast Asia including Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, and Malaysia can be connected. Southeast Asian Archipelagoes including Indonesia and the Philippines can be connected.
Western Civilization had not yet developed signifcantly. In the Netherlands, Corded Ware culture and Bell Beaker culture can be found. Among Anglic peoples, I have little information on the people of what is now the United Kingdom except that there seem to have been neolithic farming villages, and bronze working seems to have been introduced with the Beaker Bell culture. For Latin peoples, in Spain there seem to have been copper or bronze working associated with the Beaker Bell culture. For Italic peoples, copper or bronze working associated with the Bell Beaker culture in Italy can be identified. Among French peoples, I have little information on France, except that the Beaker Bell culture was present. I have no good information on Germanic peoples, including the peoples of Germany in this period. For Northeast European peoples, speakers of Indo-European languages may have inhabited this region. I have little information on Russia. In Ukraine, there is evidence of what is called the catacomb culture. In Poland, copper and then Bronze age cultures appeared. Among Balkan peoples, in Romania Neolithic and then copper working peoples were present.
African peoples were less prominent during this period than later. I have no information about Zambia. I have little information about East Africa including Uganda although there are early references to peoples of this region. I have no information about Northern East African peoples including those of Ethiopia. I do not yet have specific information about Interior East African peoples including Sudan. I also do not have specific information about Central East African peoples including Tanzania and Kenya. I have little information about West African peoples and no information on Mali. Peoples of Southern Coastal West Africa including Nigeria, Ghana, and Cote d'Ivoire can be connected. Interior West African peoples including those of Niger can be connected. Burkina Faso can be connected. Western Coastal West African peoples including those of Senegal can be connected. I have little information about Southern African peoples including South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, and Malawi, Zimbabwe. I also have little information about Central African peoples including Congo and Cameroon Angola.
American Indian peoples are not well known. I have no specific information on Guatemala. I know little about Middle American peoples including those of Mexico. Southwest American Indian peoples found in the southwestern United States can be connected. I have little information on South American Indian peoples. I know nothing of Ecuador during this period. Andean peoples including those of Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, and Chile are little known. Amazonian peoples including those of Brazil and Argentina are little known. Cono/Southern American Indian peoples including those of Argentina and Chile are little known. North American Indian peoples such as were found in what are now the United States and Canada in this period are not well known. Eastern North American Indian peoples, Western North American Indian peoples, and Northern North American Indian peoples can be connected.
Communities can be used to examine the early 3rd millennium BC, early mid 3rd millennium BC, mid 3rd millennium BC, late mid 3rd millennium BC, and late 3rd millennium BC, though few modern communities can be traced directly to this period.
Social structure and change can be used to examine the early 3rd millennium BC, early mid 3rd millennium BC, mid 3rd millennium BC, late mid 3rd millennium BC, and late 3rd millennium BC.
Social change is vital. Social change factors will be useful. Particular changes include the continuing agricultural revolution. The agrarian revolution including Bronze age developments and even possibly early iron age developments can be connected. Social change processes including innovation, transmission, adaptation, and extinction can be connected.
Social types are important. Hunting and gathering, horticultural, and agrarian peoples can be identified. Social structure including anthropological structure, cultural structure, institutional structure, and class structure can be considered.
