The Early Stages of Globalization Evolution: Networks of Diffusion and Exchange of Domesticates, Technologies, and Luxury Goods
Social Evolution & History. 2017. Vol. 16. No. 1. P. 69-85.
The paper looks into the evolution of globalization at its earliest stages (from the Neolithic Revolution to the Urban Revolution). Building on the approach by Frank, Chase-Dunn, and Hall to defining the age of the World System, we view the network space of the ancient World System which secured its cohesion. This network space served to transmit and diffuse the most important innovations of that time, such as domesticates, technologies, and prestigious goods. For each of these categories we give a number of examples which, taken together, provide sufficient evidence for the emergence of the World System as early as the Neolithic Revolution (and, indeed, in close connection with it).

The title of this article unites two rather important notions – “macroevolution” and “the World System”. Those notions are used by different theories but they are intrinsically connected. We understand social macroevolution as a term denoting an important dimension of social evolution that includes a series of the most significant evolutionary transformations. It appears important ...

However, the present historical time is characterized by especially intensive and irreversible globalization.
