There are multiple reasons why the agricultural revolution began when it did in different regions at different times
One convincing theory is that it was a more gradual process than the term "revolution" implies

The invention of Agriculture in Africa: plant domestication and the spread of African crops to Asia and the Americas.
The shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture and herding was among the most profound economic changes that occurred in human history.

A huge misconception about history is that people simply adopted the religion of the conquerors
But in Egypt, 48% of the population was Christian before Rome made Christianity the official religion
The country remained majority Christian for 500 years after the Arab conquest.

Nonwhite immigrants are not “dirtier” than white people.
But racist proclamations are dirtier than our American ideals of equality, and are informative about what some politicians see when they look at immigrants.

What makes me saddest is the erosion of trust. Even the students who take the time to write will now meet readers who are skeptical they wrote the words themselves. Everyone loses.

I find it very strange how often the Soviet Union is described as a "federation" in academic literature. It was a pseudo-federation; power was concentrated in Moscow. Why do so many scholars adopt Soviet self-descriptions as analytical categories? A dictatorship is hardly a federation.
