This document discusses the origins and history of globalization through several perspectives. It traces the beginning of globalization back to early humans migrating out of Africa around 50,000 years ago due to basic needs. Globalization has also occurred in cycles throughout history involving trade, religion, politics, and warfare. Specific epochs of globalization include the globalization of religion from the 4th to 7th centuries and European colonial conquests in the late 15th century. Significant events like Roman conquests, Genghis Khan's invasions, and voyages of discovery by Columbus and others expanded global connections over time.

✓ According to Nayan Chanda (2007), it is because of our basic human
needs to make our lives better that made globalization possible. ✓ Therefore, one can trace the beginning of globalization from our ancestors in Africa who walked out from the said continent in the late Ice Age. • HARDWIRED • ✓ This long journey finally led them to all-known continents today, roughly after 50,000 years. ✓ Chanda (2007) mentioned that commerce, religion, politics, and war- fare the "urges" of people toward a better life. These are respectively connected to four aspects of globalization and they can be traced all throughout history: trade, missionary work, adventures, and conquest. • CYCLES • ✓ For some, globalization is a long-term cyclical process, and thus, finding its origin will be a daunting task. What is important is the cycles that globalization has gone through (Scholte, 2005). ✓ Subscribing to this view will suggest adherence to the idea that other global ages have appeared. ✓ There is also the notion to suspect that this point of globalization will soon disappear and reappear. • EPOCH •
✓ Ritzer (2015) cited Therborn's
(2000) six great epochs of globalization. These are also called "waves" and each has its own origin. The following are the sequential occurrence of the epochs:
1. Globalization of religion 4. Heyday of European
(fourth to seventh centuries) imperialism (mid-nineteenth 2. European colonial conquests century to 1918) (late fifteenth century) 5. Post-World War II period 3. Intra-European wars (late eighteenth to early nineteenth 6. Post-Cold War period centuries) 1. Globalization of religion (fourth to seventh centuries) 2. European colonial conquests (late fifteenth century) 3. Intra-European wars (late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries) 4. Heyday of European imperialism (mid-nineteenth century to 1918) 5. Post-World War II period 6. Post-Cold War period • EVENTS • ✓ Gibbon (1998), argued that Roman conquests centuries before Christ were its origin. In an issue of the magazine the Economist (2006, January 12), it considered the rampage of the armies of Genghis Khan into Eastern Europe in the thirteenth century. • EVENTS •
