No mention to socialism

I find a bit strange that there's no mention to socialism, an important topic both after the Industrial Revolution and necessary to understand the whole 20th century. I don't know if it should be noted in the industrial revolution section or after that. -Theklan (talk) 13:07, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Socialism and communism are discussed in the 20th century section. Cyrobyte (talk) 03:55, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

"European expansion" section

The "European expansion" section is quite different from the others. It breaks the rythm and it tries to explain why this expansion occurred, instead of the expansion itself. I would suggest to delete this section, except the first paragraph, and then adding the section about "Protoglobalization" in history of globalization, that is way more precise, also shorter, and helps with the general rythm. What do you think? -Theklan (talk) 16:55, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

@Theklan: I agree!  Done. --Cerebellum (talk) 10:29, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Great! I think I can do it. Theklan (talk) 11:18, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Oh! You did it! Great. Theklan (talk) 11:19, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Issues?

I was hoping to get this article to B-Class and eventually make it into a GA, but I am unsure what exactly the problems are here in this article. I already have noticed the citation formatting issues, but is there anything else that I should know about for improvement? Perhaps some undue weight in a few sections? CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 18:03, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

I've been working on it but there are still many paragraphs that don't have any citations, especially in the early modern section. Some sources probably need to be replaced, like Khan Academy, and I'm not sure if the coverage is balanced – does it make sense that the 20th century section is as long as the entire prehistory section? Do we need separate sections for Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age? --Cerebellum (talk) 11:11, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

@Cerebellum the Stone ages are elaborated in Prehistory as the Paleolithic and Neolithic. The Bronze Age on the other hand definitely warrants its own section, as the current incarnation in the “cradles of civilization” section fails to mention major nations that used bronze like China and Japan. I don’t think the Iron Age needs a section, as it can just be cited that empires began switching from Bronze to iron because it was more common. In regards to the 20th century, it definitely needs to be cut down. Perhaps a lot of the Cold War material can be removed? I’d I could order it in a few paragraphs, I would do Colonial empires, World War I, World War II, Cold War, Decolonization, Technology. Each probably needs two or three sentences at most. But the lead probably needs the most work right now, and needs to be toned down. I’ll be working on that at the moment. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 15:58, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Trimmed the lead. Would you change anything about it? I took out the citations because the body already has most of the information. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 16:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Looks good to me! --Cerebellum (talk) 10:11, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Where in Africa did humans originate?

I believe we need to be more specific about where in the 11.73 million mi² continent of Africa humans originated. For example, we can write that humans originated in "sub-Saharan Africa", "modern day [country]", etc. However, I am having trouble finding a source that claims exactly where homo sapiens originated.

Experts question study claiming to pinpoint birthplace of all humans -Our species likely arose in many places around Africa, not just around the Kalahari Desert, critics say

Is there more to human history?

1. Most of the photos seem to be of the fanciest possible representative buildings and structures. Human history is not just the history of such structures.

2. Nearly everything else in photos is of the Western world. Is there a diversity committee you can run this past? 2601:645:100:1D20:0:0:0:CBAF (talk) 22:56, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
