Modern
humans are building megacities – and networks of megacities – at an
unprecedented scale. Annalee Newitz compares today’s urbanization
phenonmenon to that of the Neolithic period roughly 9,000 years ago,
when humans first began living in sedentary communities. That shift
prompted massive social, biological, and technological changes, creating
the first “domesticated” humans. Using history as a guide, Newitz
explores the evolutionary upheaval that modern humans may have set in
motion, and what it might mean for us as a civilization.
