Continuity - människans vilja och styrka för att vilja utvecklas (technology), efektivisering, viljan att föröka oss - kunna fortsätta leva - föda och breeding, längtan och behovet av en högre makt - the venuses and so on (religion), behov av att leva i grupp (group size) - overtime these groups have grown bigger and bigger, (migration) - we have been moving around the planet a lot, (art) - cave paintings and sculptures and different types of portable art,

Change - hur människan har utvecklas, efektivisering, prioritering av tiden och vetskapen om hur viktig den är, monogamy, agriculture, change in size of the groups we live in - we live in bigger groups now, hur vi ser på livet - förr va de att vi såg de som att nu lever vi - nu ser vi de som ett ideal på hur vi ska leva, womens role, education, how cities are built, war,

Gender roles - first everybody equal, then civilization and the roles changed.
War - stone age, not so much conflict, no mass graves and no reason to fight - move into cities it lead to fight for the city, want to protect it.
