The History of Humanity Through Inventions is a course designed to explore the history of the world and the progress of civilization through the lens of remarkable human achievements. From the simplest tools to complex engineering structures, from early medical practices to groundbreaking discoveries, and from primitive art forms to technologies that have revolutionized culture—innovations have always been the foundation of advancement. It is through these inventions that humanity has refined its skills, simplified daily life, and pushed the boundaries of knowledge for centuries. Each discovery, regardless of its field, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and the ability to turn dreams into reality. This course will not only trace the evolution of key inventions but also examine their impact on society, the economy, and human thought throughout history. |
