    Description
    The course is designed for Older Adults and begins with a brief look at human origins and the earliest cave paintings, and then moves on to study the history, literature, religion, and visual culture of two of the earliest cultures on the planet: Sumeria and Egypt. These will be studied in order to draw universal observations that will enable Older Adults to understand constructions of family, community, and historical global issues as they relate to their lives. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
