This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere and explores the development of trade in the Paleolithic stage of humanity. Part of the Story of the Noosphere series.

As a word, "noosphere" is a loose synonym for three different meanings: the history and destiny of Homo sapiens; an emerging planetary nervous system, an emerging superorganism.

Throughout this series, we explore the conditions that gave rise to the noosphere:

1. Heredity
2. Tools
3. Self-Consciousness
4. Communication
5. Population
6. Trade
7. Cerebralization
8. Convergence

To come together and unite in a common interest or focus.

Across five different stages of humanity:

• Paleolithic (300,000 - 11,000 years ago)

• Neolithic (11,000 years ago - 3,000 BCE)

• Classical (3,000 BCE - 1400 CE)

• Modern (1,400 CE - present)

• Future

This series of short films explores the ways humanity is building the nervous system of a superorganism, called the noosphere. As we deepen our understanding of this noosphere we begin to discover a collective sense of meaning and purpose that will help us address our global challenges.

Our series is narrated and hosted by Brian Thomas Swimme (https://storyoftheuniverse.org/) and produced by Human Energy (http://humanenergy.io/).
