Concepts
- With the passage of time, improvements were made in the top two classes of human groups – societies and civilizations. The bottom class, tribes (hunter-gatherers), had increasing numbers of tribes leveling up to societies.
- Civilizations improved faster than the other classes. The later Roman Empire and Dark Age (500-1000) were an exception to this.
- The Dark Age was a decline in some civilizations.
