It goes without question to antiquity including the 5th millennium BC, the 4th millennium BC, the 3rd millennium BC, the 2nd millennium BC, and the early first millennium BC. It developed and expanded substantially in classical and medieval times. Developments in early classical, late classical, early medieval, and late medieval times will be examined as this site expands.	Links to other sites: Not yet developed.
Modern developments in the 16th century, 17th century, and 18th century are not yet entirely clear. The 19th century including developments of the early 19th century, early mid 19th century, mid 19th century, late mid 19th century, and late 19thcentury can be connected. In the 20th century, developments of the early 20th, early-mid 20th, mid 20th, late-mid 20th, and late 20th century also lack detail. Recent and current events of the early 21st century including the early 2000s can be examined. The late 2000s including 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 can be examined. The early 2010s can be connected. 2011 can be connected. The first quarter 2011 including January 2011, February 2011, and March 2011 can be connected. the second quarter 2011, third quarter 2011, and fourth quarter 2011 can be connected. Its future is obscure. Connections to sociology including peoples of the world will also be explored. In general, Western civilization has not contributed a great deal. These are principally associated with Asiatic peoples. African peoples and American Indian peoples have few connections.
