                                         Population Growth
    Yes I think that population growth was the biggest achievement. I think this because population growth led many things. Back in the classical period the bigger the city the better it functioned. Also population growth led to more farming which led to bigger populations and healthier people. Also the more the people in a civilization the more down time people had to invent stuff. Also more people in a civilization enabled trade to be a lot easier then it was before. Also I think that the civilizations with more people had better armies and could conquer other civilizations, which probably helped shape the world into what it is today. I think that almost every advancement made in the Classical Period was fueled by population growth. From farming to technological advancements with a small population it couldn't have been done.

Its an interesting point, but I do not agree completely.
I think that the networks of exchange and the population growth are both extremely important developments in the CLassical Period.

Yeah... no. I don't agree. Not to say that your completely wrong but I think that other things led to population growth not the other way around. So yeha, wrong. But as with so many things there is not always a right or wrong. Anyway, I disagree but still, nice blog........................................................................................................O.o>................ yup.

I agree with you on some points. All of what you mentioned is important, but like other people said, networks of exchange are also really important. As well, you didnt mention how in urban environments, learning and ideas come together, which I think is an important point.
