Summary/Abstract: Throughout the long and arduous course of human history, both progress and its horizontal transmission have been an extremely slow, sporadic and tedious process. It was not until the classical period of Alexander the Great and his magnificent Alexandrian library that the speed of transmission of our knowledge changed; although modest, analogical and backward – it still surpassed the snail’s pace of the cycle of our discoveries. When our occasional discoveries finally proved to be more frequent than the speed of our own infrequent transmissions, this marked the moment of our separation. Simply put, our civilizations began to differ significantly from each other in technical-agrarian, military-political, ethno-religious and ideological terms, as well as in economic settings. Finally, the so-called Great Discoveries are the events that transform wars and famines – from moderate and local – into global, pan-continental phenomena.
